Itās OK bro.
I love me some fentanyl, ya know?
Last time I was all smacked up I tried high fiving my doctor with the same arm he just used to put a stent in my heart.
It took a while to be funny, but we ended up laughing about it later.
Iām leaving tomorrow to go to a bachelor party with some friends that will include hiking and paintballing, and probably a lot of food at a giant Airbnb for the next few days, and today at work I went on a run on lunch break and rolled my ankle real bad like a quarter mile into the run. My first thought was, ābetter stop if you want to paintball and hikeā, but my confession is that my military brainwashing took over and I started mentally berating myself for being a sissy, and ran 4 miles on it.
To be fair, it didnāt hurt then, but itās 8 hours later and it may or may not be feeling puffy and hot, and clicking a lot when I walk on it. Iām still not in any serious pain, but the true test will be what it feels like when I wake up and put weight on it tomorrow. If I can walk without yelping, Iām confident I can get through a hike on Friday and a full day of paintballing on Saturday. I also have a triathlon the following weekend, soā¦yeah. Pride is dumb.
By the way, itās my first time alone away from the wife and kids in a few years so nothing is stopping me hiking and paintballing anyway.

Stock on up over the counter pain killers and wash them down with beer and have a blast! Sounds like a good time.
Be sure to report back in the morning with how those first 10 minutes of walking went

Something similar happened to one of my sisters a few years ago. She woke up feeling congestion in her upper sinus by her forehead. She blew her nose, felt something budge, so kept blowing until a chunk ofā¦ something moved into her nostril. Using a pair of tweezers, she slowly pulled out a dead freaking cricket. Apparently, it had crawled up her nose and high into her sinus while she slept, then died in her face.
Hearing about it gave me the heebie-jeebies for the next week.

AHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yes! Drunk helps! You also might pick up an ankle compression sleeve. Who knows if itāll help, but if it does youāll be glad you grabbed one before you left town.

Confession:
I have lacked motivation to train all week. Itās just not there. It should be, I had been making good progress for awhile and I am currently decently okay with my physique.

How long were you training steady before you felt this way?
Does this lack of motivation happen regularly?
Probably a good 5 or six weeks.
And it doesnāt happen often. I think my priorities shifted more to my family the last couple weeks.
I was training harder than I have in the past and running on less sleep.
Edit: Motivation started dropping a couple weeks ago, but its been gone completely this week.

I got stung by a bee in my ear a couple hours ago. It is pretty uncomfortable and still hurts a decent amountā¦ I can feel the swelling in my jaw. My plan is to completely mask the pain with a disgusting deepwater deadlift headache today after work.

American food culture is fascinating and Iām enjoying it through these threads with a mix of wonder and disgust.

I confess that usually I will push my training towards the weekend because I donāt feel like dealing with traffic when driving to the gym.
Yeah but Iām guessing none are as satisfying or gratifying as squeezing my brain out through my ears like Play-Doh and having my eyeballs feel like theyāre popping out of my head
