This made me laugh.
As did this.
While fake, this was also funny.

On an entirely unrelated note, I didn't get as much work done today as I had hoped.

I had another burrito today; already, I can feel it hastening my convalescence.

Post-burrito workout. Thanks for the ride, Lori!

I am starting to consider the broader ramifications of my tibia fracture since the immediate shock has worn off. I have lost the opportunity to compete at the ARDF World Champs. I will be probably be on crutches for another eight weeks - perhaps including the US Champs meet and the CSU/NEOC A-meet. It has been 58 days since my last meaningful running workout, and it will probably be longer than that until I can resume training. I will be unable to compete at any of the Fall meets, and it would be extraordinary if I can train as much this winter as I did last. An injury in August may cost me the chance to be competitive in the Spring A-meets. I will know more next week after my orthopedist appointment. This is all discouraging, but I am strong enough to face this challenge and overcome it. However long it takes, I will regain my orienteering momentum, unless I do something crazy like get married.

On a more serious note, it has been 20 days since my last burrito. I marvel at my body's resilience and adaptability to have gone for so long without burrito sustenance. I may have to call upon trusted comrades to undertake quests for burritos.
