The Tool Shed: Asphalt Is My Bitch
http://middleclasstoolshed.blogspot.com/2007/03/asphalt-is-my-bitch.html
Sunday, March 04, 2007. Asphalt Is My Bitch. Ell, the good news is my ankle doesn't hurt, thanks to a combo of increased naproxin dosage, extremely reduced mileage in the last two weeks of training, and careful attention to how I run. The bad news is now my hip hurts, I believe due in large part to inadequate stretching after the race. Later I plan to break that hip, and then begin a life full of bermuda shorts and velcro shoes. My experience, mile by mile:. A gospel band on a flatbed trailer. With e...

The Tool Shed: In Which I Am Revealed As An Athletic God
http://middleclasstoolshed.blogspot.com/2007/01/in-which-i-am-revealed-as-athletic-god.html
Saturday, January 20, 2007. In Which I Am Revealed As An Athletic God. O things are looking better. Well, even. If everything goes as hoped and planned, it could turn out to be downright wonderful for me. Also, I ran ten miles this morning, my first double-digit run ever. I have nothing left to give today. So the day after that, I talked to his boss. "What's the likelihood this will happen? I mean, come on, people. It's snow. It's not goddamn Kryptonite. Posted by middleclasstool at 1:07 PM.

Friday, December 22, 2006. And to all, about two hours of sleep at a stretch. Look what I got for Christmas! That, of course, is not what happened this year. This year, just like four years ago, pretty much everything that could change, did. And it paid off in spades: new job, much better income, stability we hadn’t yet known. So what did we do with our newfound comfort? Start a college fund? Why, no, we did the sensible thing. We spent half of October in Europe. But despite the lack of real interruption...

The Tool Shed: Company Man, Schmompany Man
http://middleclasstoolshed.blogspot.com/2007/01/company-man-schmompany-man.html
Tuesday, January 09, 2007. Company Man, Schmompany Man. Nd just when I had castigated myself thoroughly for my own cynicism, this pinch of salt over the left shoulder, that half-joke about waiting for the other shoe to drop, lo and behold, that fucker indeed hit the floor. I won't get into it much here, because there's nothing I can type that won't make me sound like the weepy, bitter, self-pitying bastard that I frankly. Right now, but here's the details:. If you're a regular. Hey, all 2 1/2 of you can ...
