i'm not as think as you recovered i am

so I was released to jog, right? tell that to my knee. it gave a less than stellar performance on the treadmill yesterday. it's just got no push and it hurt when I pushed and landed. i limped, walked fast and struggled through 5 minutes. arg. i AM better at little bunny hops and controlling my landing. i guess when the dr initially said i wouldn't be FULLY recovered for 6 months, he was right. i hope Tiger Woods is recovering better than i am. he's about a month behind me i think.

anyway, i can walk really good and have better balance everyday and my endurance is better.

i have plans to continue my revisions of my diss chapter today. it's due for review by the end of August.

oh, and cheers to SUZY who made it into a phd program at NMSU and is safe and sound in Las Cruces. i feel big things await her there. And I'm proud as punch, too.

Well, I am not a fan of running, at all, so I think you're crazy to attempt it in the first place. But if you can walk well, work back up to it. And good luck.

Thanks for the shout out. My first few days here have been nice. Monday my orientation starts and by this time tomorrow, I will be really nervous I'm sure.

maybe you'll meet someone like you did me on your first day and you'll friends forever like us! Maybe it'll be a smelly boy who will become your forever lover!

The odds of meeting a smelly boy are pretty high here. I guess I was just drawn back by the smell.
