My Summer Vacation Thus Far
Summertimes are why I love my job and beyond complete expression now that my life is surrounded by work and with loved ones working. Oddly enough I get to spend my time with two awesome roommates who are also off for a while this summer. As amazing as it is to have nothing going on everyday the idea that "the days are evil" is an important thing to keep in mind. Like many others, I respond extremely well to structure, schedule, routine, and expectations. A complete lax in a day every now and then is nice but I can easily become lazy or unfocused if I allow myself...hey, it happens. Therefore, I have begun creating a daily schedule, a summer goal list, and ideas of where I want my summer to head and how it will benefit me and others. Training for Chicago is a big help as well in this endeavor as it keeps me in shape and eating well. Other than the beach I haven't done a great deal since arriving back two weeks ago and the summer is passing rather quickly. The fourth was more than I could ever explain and beats any midwest celebration I've ever participated in...the fireworks here, the people, everything was phenomenal! The fireworks shook the building I was watching from...scary standing several stories up on a rooftop. Last week my roommate had an extra ticket to Dave Matthews at Fenway - it was around ninety dollars but how could I possibly pass that up?
Other than that things have been fairly regular. If you're the praying type I would certainly appreciate some prayers for my knees as they're bugging me fairly significantly. Hopefullly in time things will wear off or I'll just learn to run through the pain. Finally, I am travelling to Colorado in August for a rather large family reunion. We thought it would be fun if we all had similar shirts and I offered to design some "sweet" threads for us. Below are the designs I came up with...thoughts on which you like the best? It appears the stripes one is winning out so far. Which design would you wanna sport around for your reunion?

I know this is a dumb question but here goes.. have you spoken to a Dr about your knees? I know you do not like taking Meds but you need to know damage you do now can result in pains and arthritis later.. I know from which I speak at this age!! Talk to a Dr... please.. Humor me!! It could be a simple as icing them, heating them, or taking some kind of med for the swelling.
I vote for the striped shirt to wear to the reunion. Go to the doctor and have you knees examined. I had knee pain that started in my early 30's from playing softball. All the running your doing and the pain you are experiencing is indicating to me something in your knees is not right. Love Dad
Stripes. I think that would be the best. I dont know about the map on the back of anything. It would be fine but still. The Ipod people one is great but yeah too not for us. Stipes is the way to go. And as for your knees you need to ice your knees after your run and alternate with heat. Also get a good knee brace. Another thing is switch your surface that you run on for know if you find grassy areas they will cushion the blow. Concrete is the worst thing for knees. Ohh well anything else let me know
how lucky are you getting to go hang out in one of the coolest states ever... :)
