Funny, but not "ha ha".

Elliptical + aborted run
The half-hour on the elliptical did a good job of releasing some of the major kinks in my calves, but they’re still going to require some care and watching for a little while. The run was abortive because I wore my old running shoes (now used for general purpose wear and elliptical workouts) rather than my newer running shoes, and I was just three minutes into my run when it started to feel like flames were licking up my lower legs with each step.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me… I can’t believe I’m actually doing an audio post. Even moreso, I can’t believe I wasn’t terribly nervous doing it. I need to learn how to appropriately and smoothly end these things, though. And I need to work on the audio settings, methinks. Lots of background… static, I guess, but that’s most likely just my laptop’s fan whirling, so it could be that nothing can be done.
