    Cool nic fits & shin splints

    SUUUUUUCK.

    i'm on day 4 w/o a cig (HI5!)

    gotta say i'm pretty proud of myself- especially after being in the CAR w people that smoke. TORTUROUS. but i've maintained like a gangster.

    so i've also been running w my dog. the other day i upped my distance by adding maybe a 1/2mi. and then i wound up walking roughly 5mi in flip flops the following day.

    my shins are on FIRE. i've stretched a LOT. looked online and it says i should kinda wait it out and heal. my cousin said when he was in football, they'd just suffer thru it.

    i don't want to do damage to my legs tho. but i'm so goddamned antsy. so i'm stretching and stretching but it sucks so bad cuz all i wanna do is MOVE. i don't remember when i've ever had this much energy.

    it's frustrating!

    you know what else is frustrating? sb being deader than the earwig i just smashed on the walll.

    Use ice for your shins. It'll help.

    Very cool on the quitting smoking thing. Keep it up. It'll be a happier thing in the long run.

    ice for shin splints is good. i used to live with ice packs strapped to my shins
    And keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get worse. I ended up with Chronic Compartment Syndrome and had to have surgery for it

    good for you with the no smoking!

    when you become immune to ice packs, another idea is to alternate between ice packs and heat packs. 20 minutes with each. I don't know what it does, but its something i used to do and it felt like it helped

    Alternating hot and cold forces blood circulation.

    Roll a fat blunt, get yourself in a relaxing chair and put on this video of Glen Campbell doin Wichita Lineman last year.....

    YouTube - Glen Campbell : Wichita Lineman (Live 2008 BBC) HQ

    followed by this

    YouTube - Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine

    Happy chilling x
    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    Actually, if you're lazy like I am, you can just use ice, instead of alternating ice and heat. If you hold ice to your body long enough it perceives it as a threat and starts sending extra blood in attempt to warm up the area.

    The heat feels better, but ice does the job of both.
    I love all the things that we should fear, and Im not afraid of being here....

    Uuuuurgh quitting smoking is ridiculous. Hate it hate it hate it all my best friends smooooke and encourage me too aaaargh anyway. Congrats babe. Reward yourself with something small each day you succeed and make the reward grow.

    Shin Splints - Eat pineapple. It's a natural anti-inflammatory and doctors prescribe it for shin splints before they prescribe drugs

    PS YOUR AWESOME!

    Syco- "The Empress is the latter leg of this triad, representing the physical body and the material world. From her comes all the pleasure of the senses and the abundance of life in all its forms. She is also the mother archetype, and through her we get a first glimpse of the power of love in the Tarot." I think this is all representative of awesomly large tits, no?
    Sweet as the Punch.

    I used to get shin splints all the time when I ran. I don't get them any more but I also don't run nearly as much anymore. Anyway, anti-inflamatory foods are good, nutritiondata.com has that kind of info so you can check the food you eat to help you stay away from inflamatory foods. And good job on the smoking
