Ocsober. Just kidding.

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Here we go - the last day of October. What a shitty month it has been, with virtually nil running and yet it finishes with an injury. For the last two weeks I've had a flaring of arthritis in my left big toe which has me limping with pain, and any attempt at running is rewarded only with laser beams of agony. The pain is now slowly subsiding (I think - maybe I'm just becoming accustomed to it), but the awkward gait that results from all this has further resulted in a strained left calf. So here I am, hobbling around as if I've just run a marathon when in fact I've run not at all, my clothes have shrunk and I'm feeling frustrated and flabby. 

November though; that's going to be the month. Oh yes, just you wait and see.

This time...
