Run Tom, Run

If you've checked the blog the past few days you'll know that I tried to change the format up a bit, but I screwed up the comments section, couldn't get some of the other items posted, etc - so I decided to revert to the previous format. Sometimes change isn't for the best, or maybe I was just too lazy to figure everything out. It was almost the death of the blog for good though, but I've decided to try and continue posting for awhile (even though I've lost my blogging motivation). Not really sure what that motivation was in the first place.

Have you ever seen the Abbott and Costello skit, Who's On First? Such a classic! I used to do drama classes when I was in High School and a buddy of mine and I did this for a class. You don't even have to be a baseball fan to find this absolutely hilarious if it is done well. You can't really describe it well with words alone (although it does crack me up just reading the script), but I'll try and give you the basic rundown. Basically Costello plays a peanut vendor who is talking to Abbott who was just named the new coach of the St Louis Wolves. Costello is asking Abbott the players names and Abbott is telling him, except the players have some odd nicknames. "WHO" is the name of the first baseman. "WHAT" is the name of the second baseman. "I DON'T KNOW" is on third. So, you can see where it goes when one asks "who's on first?" and gets the reply of "yes". This goes on quite a while with a variety of questions, statements, and frustrations that leave you rolling in laughter. Sometimes I feel like I get into conversations like this - you're both saying the same thing, but somehow it all gets messed up in the end. You keep trying to explain/re-explain, but somehow just keep making it worse, when really your still saying the same thing. Funny for a sketch, but frustrating in real life.

Started working out last week (actually lifting and not just running). Having trouble walking today! I went to an abs class that caused me great pain, followed by a workout, and the concluded with my normal run (5 miles). Did more legs lifting on Sat which caused me to be VERY sore on Sunday. I really should have taken the day off on Sunday, but mentally I desperately needed my run yesterday. So, I headed out about 10:00pm and did 5 miles on campus. It was a great run, but I'm paying the price in further soreness today. Tonight is abs class followed by an attempt at a kickboxing areobics class. Not sure if I can pull that off though, plus I really want to still be able to run tonite.
