my body is a temple...that needs renovation

ouch:
lately my left calf has been bothering me...a lot. very recently it has made life suck. walking is getting to be a bitch and my mile times are starting to slow down. the doctor explained that i have a torn calf muscle. i informed him that i have 1 month to go before my attempt at qualifying for boston and will not be having any of this 'rest and rehab' crap. now, i chose this doctor because he is a bigtime runner as well and he understands my plight. tomorrow i see the orthopedist to ensure it's not a stress fracture (the only thing that will convince me to stop running) and hopefully get some go-go juice shot into my calf to help it heal more quickly. as of now, i'm taking horse-pill size ibuprofen and icing it to death.

double ouch:
on my ten mile run tonight, i neglected to use vaseline to lube up appropriate sensitive areas...such as my right nut. about 7 miles into it, it started to chafe. being the stubborn ass that i am, i ignored it and finished out my run. i jumped into the shower only to have all the sweat-salt be washed over my junk. flinching, i slapped the wall so hard with my hand that the dude in the next stall asked if i was all right.
