Of course, it is funny in my mind....let's see if you think it's hysterical too......
I am not going to worry about dangling participles or the like in this writing.
Today, I have run outta time to really comb through and nit pick this blog. I won't get RID of grammatical errors...they will stay....
Here's the funny story.....brevity will WILL will prevail.....
I am preparing for another Power Lifting meet.
I have been preparing pretty hard for the last six weeks.
The competition is on October 29th in Orlando Florida, near the entrance to Sea World.
If it does not go well, I can always show up at Sea World in my beloved singlet and ask for a job. Fortunately, I do expect it to go well, so I plan to continue my permanent residency in Virginia.
Focus pocus: I'm back from my reverie......
In the last six weeks, I have: taken professional photos for my seminars/workshops and related book. I met with my mentors, Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove in Santa Clarita, California. I attended Christine Kane's Uplevel your Business Gold mastermind in Asheville, North Carolina.....
...and then there's the prosaic bits about cooking, cleaning and raising children.....
Boiling it down, I have been pleasantly busy.....
Last week, I drove to Asheville, N.C. With my friend and colleague, Dana Malon owner of Soulfit Women ™.
I have lived in Virginia a majority of my life. I have lived in both Southern (preferred) and Northern Virginia and often make the journey North to South to North.
Until last January, I had never made the Westward journey through Virginia.
Now I have, and I am here to report that it is a long-a__ way.......
Let's put it this way, Virginia is very bottom heavy and is rotund at the border with North Carolina.
I did the driving. Dana allowed me to drive her car.
The 7 hour and 15 minute drive to Asheville, NC was uneventful. We made two very quick stops.
The drive home, on Wednesday night, was unpleasant. The unending torrential rain made the driving conditions pretty difficult.
We stopped once. We got gas, used the restroom and bought a lottery ticket.
One stop in 7 hours and 45 minutes may not have been enough for me.
I woke up with a little pain in my right calf on Friday morning.
I don't normally have calf pain, so it bothered me (a little), but I pressed on.
I even did my last lower body workout before the big meet next Saturday.
On Saturday, I woke up hobbling.
On Sunday, I had more of a hobble and began to worry about DVT's. This is deep vein thrombosis, which I know I am genetically prone to have. I had a Pulmonary Embolism once, and have worked hard to prevent another one from stopping my life.
Later that afternoon, upon further reflection, I began really pushing my leg into the discomfort zone. Walking without a hobble and insisting on full knee extension. I told myself that I did not have a problem and that my leg was healed.....I was my own Ernest Angley....be healed!
It began immediately getting better.
Today, in a little bit of pain, I am still not completely sure what is wrong with my calf.
Here is what I am doing about it.... I have made two doctor's appointments (ART™ and Primary Care)
and perhaps more importantly, I am envisioning this complete recovery from.....
and this IS the funny part.
A injury obtained from driving a car from North Carolina to Virginia......
I drove for 7 hours and 45 minutes with my foot in a plantarflexed state and I got injured.
Folks, THAT'S funny.....
I lift heavy weights weekly. I bench over 130 lbs. I squat over 230 lbs. I deadlift at least 275 lbs.
….and I got injured driving.
Iron-nee this, batman ;-)
