Ianduried - sucks dick

INJURED

It really is deppressing. I pulled my back at playing in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago & I havent been for a run since. Not out of laziness but I actually cant. Its really annoying and kind of deppressing.

So instead of running I have been eating. It really helps you feel good instead of being depressed from not running. I have been eating things like pasta, chocolate cake, pasta and some more chocolate cake.

Thanks mum.

So the chiropractor said I cant run for another 2 weeks. Contrary to my usual response I'm actually going to do what this guy says. Backs are something you dont really want to mess around with.
The flipside is I can drum without pain and that uses up energy.

So...I have been playing quite a bit this week. Im drumming for Kelis over the nexet 2 weekends on the Good Vibrations tour and I've had to spend some time to learn her stuff. Its kind of cool setting up my drum kit at home. It feels like Im 16 again.



Anyways. Here's what Im looking forward to doing...

No Blogging. All Jogging.

Look I have lost track of my runs. I must confess I got into the blogging thing partly to keep a record of runs but also to tell the world that I'M RUNNING!
Well I am sort of over that now. Not the running part. The feeling the need to put it up on the web and mention it in everyday conversation part.

Example


Adelaide Acquaintance: "Hey Tony, Long time no see   
insert: awkward handshake that neither party knows
What you been up too? Touring and stuff?"

Tony: "Yeah a bit of touring and recording, oh and a lot of running hey."

Adelaide Acquaintance: "Oh really, What you run?"

Tony: " Yeah like everyday man. Its a way of life man. Anyway man I cant stay and chat man I gotta go walk over there now. I'll see you around though, You know in the clubs and stuff man."

Adelaide Acquaintance: " Yeah no worries Tony, I guess I'll see you around."

Tony walks off man….

Adelaide Acquaintance: " You know I really hate that guy, man."



So…I have all of these screen grab maps on my desktop from when I run without my Garmin watch (odometer, GPS running thing) and plenty of synced Garmin maps. But I have left this blog untouched for so long that I cant really remember which is which. Except those few memorable runs of course.

And those few are:

The runs I had in Brazil, Particularly the run in Parque Ibirapeura . Amazing place. Like Sao Paulo's version of Central Park NY.

umm....

A couple of Bondi to Bronte runs - These are always nice. I always feel mega-Australian for some reason when I do these.


Some beach runs in Adelaide have been enjoyable, some bare feet with blisters, some with shoes. Some with no top and sunburn, some with a hat and a top on.

Also, recently I have been running with a mate. I have never run with anyone before and I got to say although it has its challenges in terms of mental stamina I kind of enjoy it. Its been good results wise actually. Before these "buddy" runs I have to say that I have been slipping a little. Getting 4 or 5Km into a run and picking the quickest run home. Not Good, but the two runs I have done so far with a mate have clocked 13 and 12 km respectively.

Japeye's to Waterfull Gully and back


This morning: Somerton to Westbeach caravan park and back. nice weather. Nice swim after.

















Good things.

There are heaps more but to be hones, I cant dont really want to spend an hour uploading them. Mum just made me a Schnitzel so I am going to go eat that instead.

So I Gotta Run
