The Only Thing Worse

… than the pain of returning to jogging after a layoff of many months is the pain of getting back out on the second day of returning to jogging.

Ugh.

(Actually, not pain but soreness — but that just doesn’t sound quite as good or evoke as much sympathy.  What?  No sympathy?  Feh.)

    Sorry buddy, but you'll have to do better than that. Maybe make up a story about being attacked by a mutant cat. Nobody likes cats.

    Good thing my cat-fanatic wife doesn't read my blog, otherwise you'd have one Cheesehead seriously pissed off at you!

    Jim, I do feel your pain. I will be following your lead soon - but my layoff has been more than a couple of months - it has been about three years. Arrghhhhh.

    Dan, note that I was very vague by specifiying "many months." You're welcome to define that yourself, but I'll admit that it's more than "a couple."
