Once more, with style
A lot has happened since July. I’ll get to that later. So, about this time last year, I blew out my knee. Four weeks off, some mild limping, and by December I was back in action on the field…not scoring goals. I did actually eventually score, a few weeks ago, in a game against the…

Diminished mobility and a soccer hiaitus
Last Saturday night I did something to my knee. I’m not entirely sure what. The best explanation is probably a hyper-extension of the knee; imagine missing a step walking down a flight of stairs, only in mid-stride. I hit turf that was 3″ lower than the cement sidewalk I was expecting, and my knee snapped…

Good news/bad news
Tonight was our last outdoor game for the season against the Rangers. For the 99% of you who have no idea who they are, they’re the soccer team that keep flipping back and forth between the lower division (which we’re at the bottom of) and the upper division (which we don’t even want to comprehend…

Friday Night Adventures
Before I talk about tonight, I should probably back it up a few days. It’s been an odd week. We’ll begin with Tuesday. Tuesday was a hard day to get through. After not really sticking to any kind of workout regimen the entire week prior due to laziness and a sunburn (mostly laziness), 5:30 came…

Three-day adventure
Friday, I took the day off, mostly because I haven’t had a day off in a while. I had plans to revisit a cherished college tradition: pizza, Diet Coke, and Halo 2. For the most part, it was a successful revisiting; I rested, I played video games, I drank a ton of Diet Coke, and…

Back on the run
Yesterday I ran for the first time in a week, and for the first time since the infamous Carfos incident from a couple months ago, I went back to the beach of doom. The snow had melted away by now (believe it or not, there are still some sizeable piles of dirt and snow around…

Sir, why are you running so fast?
This should tell you how exciting downtown Holland can be on a Saturday night. We were at a complete dive bar and my friend decided that the time had come to get the car, which was a couple of blocks down the street. Being the athletic type, he decided to Runfos his way back. On…

Sidecars
I’m fairly certain I already covered this in a previous post, but last week was pretty rock-solid awesome. Between the running, the biking, the 5K, the soccer game, etc., I was both really really pleased with myself and really, really exhausted on Friday night. I did what the cool kids did and took a nap…

First 5K
Yesterday was St. Patty’s Day, which for many people my age, it was the one day a year you can roll out of bed, crack a Guinness, and then blow off class. Or call a sick day. That’s the thing about graduating and becoming an adult: you have to be responsible and go to work.…

Sorry. I’ve been busy.
Part of the reason that I haven’t posted anything in over a week again is because I was either a) too busy or tired to get around to it, b) couldn’t exactly write about it yet, or c) didn’t really have anything worth writing about. “Hooray I ran!” starts to get old after a while.…
