Makin' Time

To counter the previous crass post, I have posted a baby picture (clothing by Marks and Spencer).

Due to a recent paucity of time for workouts, my recovery pace has increased from seven to eight mins/mile. Sigh ... The eight minute pace feels effortful, whereas last fall the same pace felt absolutely glacial. I need to pick a target race and start the training regime again.

Led Zeppelin has been on constant play at Chez Crewtonz. I have always opined that early Zeppelin borrowed liberally the vocal stylings of Steve Marriott from the Small Faces. Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love (1969) = Small Face's You Need Loving (1966) - listen to the middle eighth. It is rumored that Marriott was Page's first choice for the band. Other songs from the early Zeppelin catalog sound like The Pretty Things SF Sorrow lp.

I feel a little naked tonight

Yo, guess who's back? I finally have something to write about...my ass! So that growth on my ass has not reduced in swelling for an entire week. It was especially painful today so I got myself to the doctor's office because I'm worried it's a cyst/boil and not a simple pimple.

So i whip my pants off in front of the doc the conversation was something like this:

Doc: Whoa, ok...ummm...let me lock the door first to give you some privacy.

Me: Don't worry about it. Really, I don't mind.

Doc: No no, I'll lock the door. Yup, it's kinda pusy, let me get a swab test, I'll be right back. Put your pants back on.

Me: No really, it's no problem.

Doc: Jesus, just get behind that curtain!!

So he gave me some antibiotics and topical cream to hopefully reduce the swelling. I just looked at it was more swollen and blue/black in color. Damn, I forgot to take a photo before putting the cream and a band-aid on.

Who wants to see this?
