Dear Appendages:
I know I haven't always been good to you. I did way too much and way too little all at once. I spent decades abusing you with gravity, gluttony and indifference. But, don't give up because I am better now and I am hoping that you all get better too. Don't make that horrible grinding noise that had Josh purposely positioning my workouts near the fan to drown you out. Don't swell and ache at every ridiculous change in the weather and don't riddle my soft tissue with "rice crispies" that have to be filed away by a professional for me to stay ambulatory, and most of all don't drop me- even if I deserve all of it. If you do we'll miss too much of the amazing stuff we can do now. There are mountains to climb, races to run, and teams to be part of. I know I owe you all. I will pay the way with food journals that scream lean protein and vegetables, with stretches that bore me but work, with training even when I'm not training, and with SLEEP. I await your terms...
Thank you,
Me
