Are you having shin splints? I had them playing basketball daily about a year and a half ago... Had to stretch out the calfs like it was going out of style. I'd probably spend like five minutes before each game and most stops in play just stretching out the calfs to be able to run/jump...

6/7/2010 10:25:15 PM

I don't know what I'm doing
He's probably right: this is overkill
but I need to feel like I've got something to offer immediately.

6/7/2010 10:25:47 PM

^^ i don't know?! cause i've never had "shin splints" before. the past few times i've run my shins have just turned black and blue all along the bone. like 4 inch long bruises right on the bone. and my calf muscles get a little bruised too. just from running. i guess its the pavement?! but once they bruise they kill (even at rest) for like 2 days. but its been a week since i last ran (and it was only 4 miles) and the bruises are still there, just yellowed.

they hurt to touch obviously cause they're bruises but it doesn't hurt to walk on or anything. i've been good about stretching (though i'll admit i don't stretch my calves for that long cause they never get sore - so maybe that is the problemo) so i don't get it?! does that sound like a shin splint? i don't even know what they are cause i've never had them

that sounds pretty intense, maybe you should go to an orthopedist?

6/7/2010 10:29:12 PM

haha awesome season finale

BLOW ME

6/7/2010 10:29:53 PM

^^but thats a hassle and i feel lame because i don't even run high miles. i mean i'm trying to increase mileage but it sucks when every time i run 4 miles my shins are all bruised. lame. that is why my new plan is to run tomorrow and see if it happens again. if it does i guess i'll see my general practitioner to see if i need to see someone else.

its just lame cause i'm not running like 10 miles a day or anything. i'm trying to run 4-5 gosh darn it! eventually i'd like to run 10 but...having trouble getting there! not for lack of effort though!

The very inside of the bottom of my tibia hurt like hell. No bruising (but I don't really bruise easily) but if I jumped or ran off my toes it KILLED. And if I continued to do it it hurt to the touch.



Where the arrow is to the shin pain is about halfway down to the ankle on the inside is where my pain was the most. It was about as excruciating, on some days, as it was when I broke my ankle in half in high school.

If you're trying to run long distances on that, good luck. I probably couldn't run more than a 1/4 mile non-stop with the pain that I felt.

i didnt really need any help ... i guess
there was just some trial and error when i was replacing the hardware on this piece of furniture i refinished

the first set of "pulls" didnt look right so i took them back and got more. then i bought hinges to match and that didnt work and i needed shorter screws for the pulls so back i went.

bought more hinges b/c the first pair didnt work and shorter screws. well these fucking hinges didnt work either so i had to take those off and put the og ones back on and the fucking screw heads were too small and kept going through the holes. so back i went again to take back the second set of hinges and buy washers for the new screws

"yea after the last time i ran i could barely walk. i sat in bed and cried cause they throbbed just resting. my bruises are where the red is on that pic - well it starts like midway down my shin to the bottom like an inch or so above the ankle. first my right leg was doing it only. now my left leg is too. so freaking lame. "

i've been anemic before (haven't had my blood checked recently and i'm not taking iron anymore cause my levels were ok last time and she said i could stop) so maybe i'm anemic again and that is why i'm bruising. i dunno. maybe tomorrow i'll run inside at the Y but eventually i need to run outside cause that is where my 1/2 is obviously.


^ ohhhhh yea i totally understand. well at least you didn't have the added frustration of their usually totally unhelpful staff. going in there and asking a question is NOT LIKE THE COMMERCIALS. i went once and told this guy what i needed and asked where to find it. he was like "i dunno ask that man over there" and pointed. so i asked him and he was like "uhhhh i don't know what you're talking about." it was this thing for a drill so that you can extract a screw that won't come out. its not like a hard thing. i just didn't know where the drill section is cause that place is huge and i wanted to save time and effort by asking. SIGH.

If you're anemic you're likely to have trouble running anyway from your blood not being able to carry enough oxygen

6/7/2010 10:39:00 PM

haha "can't yall take care of a little bitty woman." lol. This bitch is crazy.

6/7/2010 10:40:42 PM

^^ i didn't feel light headed last time i ran though. i don't think. i can't really remember how i felt during/after.

i was too terrified of getting raped to think about how i was feeling lol.

lol no its not. i did ask this one guy a question and he didnt know shit
he basically gave the me the tired and true line of what we have is out on the floor unless you want to custom order.

all i asked was did they make 2" handle pulls anymore b/c i have been finding started at 3 and i didnt want to putty up one hole to drill another.

6/7/2010 10:42:36 PM

yea i just wanted a screw extractor for my drill.

i mean for serious. these are simple questions, PEOPLE!

6/7/2010 11:21:09 PM

but i'd rather have a bun + icecream separately cause i'm a glutton like that. but that flavor always intrigues me in the grocery store. i've yet to try it.

6/7/2010 11:22:38 PM

ew
that sounds gross

also, i'm being good: I had cheesecake today, so I'm NOT going into town to get ice cream.

6/7/2010 11:23:31 PM

i know it does sound kinda gross (hence the not trying it lol ).

mmmm cheesecake. now there's a flavor that is GOOD in icecream form.

(i prefer real cheesecake of course, but cheesecake icecream with graham cracker swirl is pretty darn good)

I've been trying to keep my mind off the gallbladder attack for a long damn time tonight. At least it isn't as bad as it was on Christmas, when my niece told everyone I died.

One of the things I did to keep my mind off it was to make colored rice for projects at summer camp. It's so pretty!!!

6/7/2010 11:40:26 PM

I'm thinkin about a monk with a punch so sweet

6/7/2010 11:43:26 PM

how could i ever tire of you my dear punchmonk?

6/7/2010 11:46:28 PM

I got complimented on my smile 3 times today. I think it's because I look people in the eyes when I talk to them and maybe that gets their attention? Ah whatever, I'll take their compliments instead of analyze them

oh hey wawebste. I'm eating a Reese's Cup milkshake from Cookout. It is amazing. They I'm going to finish organizing my closet. You think its too late to use the vacuum on my space bags? I live on the bottom floor and none of my roommates are here.

6/8/2010 12:28:18 AM

my ass is spraying liquid every 5 to 10 minutes

i knew that salad bar was sketchy

6/8/2010 12:28:19 AM

^^vacuum seems fair game in that situation, just say fuck it and go for it

6/8/2010 12:29:52 AM

yeah, I don't like my neighbors anyway

Hope you feel better billytalent

6/8/2010 12:37:50 AM
