The Art of Being a Neurotic Dumb-ass: 12/20

My foot hurt all day Sunday following my 7 mile run.  Still hurt Monday, but I went to the gym yesterday, rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes, and then did abs anyway.
This morning, my foot still hurt, but I couldn't tell if  the pain was something that I should rest or attempt to run through.  Because . . . I am a Neurotic Dumb-ass!  Resting would be the smart choice, but here is my malfunction: I freak out over crap like this way too much.  Worse is . . . I know that I freak out, so in an attempt to avoid freaking out, I IGNORE THE OBVIOUS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! Because, you know . . . it might workout that the mystery pain might just  . . . Go Away!

 It is just like watching Nicholas Cage movies, you know that they are going to suck, but there is a chance that Cage'll pull something out of his ass like Kick-Ass.  Oh, the odd a are 10/1 against you that you'll enjoy his latest stab at personal solvency, but you remember that Adaptation was pretty good and try to block out the memories of Next, 8MM, and Con Air as you plop down that 8 bucks with your fingers crossed.

Well, guess what!  This morning when I ran . . . There was no Wild at Heart for me!  Nopers (it's a word)!  I got a foot full of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin:

"Cage's ancestors may have come from the Old Country, but he's no more Italian than Franco-American SpaghettiOs."

I'm a fuckin' idiot! Or, at least I feel like one today . . . OK . . . most days, but I feel like more than normal today because I'm the Fucking dip who ran 3 rather painful miles on the treadmill and is now worried about everything from Stress Fractures and Bone Spurs to Wonky Foot . . . What is wonky foot?  I don't know! But, it came up when I googled Strange Foot Pain, and now I am scared that I might be suffering from it!   ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After making it through my run, I did abs and went the hell home!  If the foot doesn't get better by Thursday, I'll waste my co-pay on an x-ray just to get some peace of mind before Santa comes for a visit!

BTW:  Here is my assesment of the Cage Catalog.  Like in nature, you should avoid the red.
