About Today:
- Today’s date is made-up of all 1′s.
- You should celebrate this fact by posting about it on Facebook, or Twitter, or wishing for totally random shit, or if you’re really awesome, by wishing for totally random shit and then posting about it on Facebook AND Twitter.
About the World:
- Statuses related to politics, 11-11-11, Joe Paterno, and natural changes in the weather (i.e. WTF?! Snow? In Chicago? In November???) have turned Facebook friend-purging into one of my favorite pass times.
About My Hip:
- I am having arthroscopic hip surgery in 12 days to fix a torn labrum and cam-type femoroacetbular impingement syndrome (FAI).
- Cam-type FAI occurs when the ball of your hip is too big for the socket, thereby causing a painful pinching sensation when the giant ball knocks against the tiny socket.
- FAI is most likely a genetic issue. Thanks, Mom.
- I honestly cannot wait to have this damn surgery and get better already.
About Running:
- I have run, approximately, 15 miles in the past month.
- My general disposition functions as an indirect relationship with my time spent away from running.
- For those of you, like myself, who almost failed high school math, this means that my mood has become categorically foul.
- If you ran a fall marathon, I want to punch you in the esophagus.
About Life:
- If I don’t stop eating liking I’m training for an ultra, I’m not going to fit into my pants anymore.
I’m so sorry you’re down and out right now. But I wish you the best with the surgery. If anything, it’s a total reason to require pampering during the entire holiday season.
