Theories

So I hurt my back this weekend and I'm not sure how I did it. It was feeling better on Monday so I decided to run and just do some upper body workouts. I was very worried that my competition (http://1010intwentyten.blogspot.com/) would get ahead of me. Plus I'm going to be gone all of next week so I knew I would have a hard time competing against him then.

But a strange thing happened... my competition was also injured. Coincidence? I have a few theories.

1. He wanted to try out the new health care reform. Is it just a coincidence that he was injured about the same time the bill was passed?

2. He is simply having sympathy pains. Because I was hurt he too was feeling it. Or maybe it is vice versa. We have a pretty close bond.

3. Maybe somebody was feeling threatened by all of the miles he was running and put a hit on him. As of yet I have no suspects to go along with this theory.

4. He was hoping to be put on crutches, knowing that the extra bumping around would cause the pedometer to count each step double.

5. The fifth and last theory is that he was hurt playing basketball. I find this highly unlikely though and not at all as exciting as the other theories.

If I were a betting man I would guess theory number 1 to be correct. As a matter of fact I don't think I need to exercise anymore because now the government will fix everything. We don't have to be healthy because our good old uncle Sam will pay for everything with his never ending supply of money. And if he does have money problems he can just print more.

Yesterday: I ran 6.29 km
