“Oh the pain Will Robinson, the pain”
-Dr. Zachary Smith LOST IN SPACE
When your podiatrist tells you you’re crazy to attempt a half marathon with a bone spur in your heel and bad planter fasciitis, listen to him. He’s the one with the sheepskin on the wall. You’re the one with the bone spur in your heel. Time to shut down and heal the heel for awhile, I’m afraid.
I had trained fairly hard and had hoped this, my fifth half marathon at mouseworld, would
be the one I finally finished in under 2 hours. My pace at the 10k mark was well under a 10 minute mile leading me to great optimism I would finally achieve my goal. unfortunately, just before mile eight the seven dwarfs fired up a chorus of ” whistle while you work” directly targeting said heel for some aggressive excavation work with pick and shovel slowing my personal gazelle like pace to that of the pachyderms who hold each other’s tails as they pull up the rear at the Ringling Brothers circus parade. Equally unfortunate was my finish time which resembled what those majestic creatures leave at the end of that parade.
If you’re not convinced by now that there is an epidemic of obesity in this country, spend a day people watching in the magic kingdom. Tweetle Dum and Tweetle Dee look like lean machines compared to most of those I gazed upon. If wait is ever thawed out he should consider an eighth dwarf…..fatty.
By the way, where’s the p-c pressure to change it to “seven little people?”
Disney fast food has to be among the worst edible substances on god’s green earth.
When you pass thru the entry gates at any of the Disney theme parks, exactly why do they need to scan your finger? Are they stealing our DNA? This is total recall kind of stuff.
And the icing on the cake was the flight home which offered sufficient turbulence to loosen a few of my filings as well as knock several freckles off the face of a nearby Midwestern passenger resembling Pippi Longstocking.
As long suffering Brooklyn dodger fans used to say, “oh well, there’s always next year.” (So far not pats fans)
Gronk vs. Jacoby
Are these two guys basically the same deal? Dynamic, impactive but hardly ever on the field?
