October 25, 2017 \u2013 Holding Pattern<\/em><\/p>\n

While I\u2019m laid up and feeling awful, I thought I might as well try and finalize the migration of runkevinrun.com to a new web hosting service.\u00a0 They\u2019ve apparently transferred 40 gigs of data from the old company to the new and I\u2019ve just updated all the DNS Name Servers to go to the new company.\u00a0 This can take up to 48 hours to propagate through the internet world wide thus they said I shouldn\u2019t make any updates\/changes to the site for the time being.<\/p>\n

Which is all well and good as it\u2019s all over but the crying.\u00a0 I\u2019m wincing and icing and doing whatever it is one is supposed to do to recover from a bruised\/broken tailbone. According to a google search (god help us for the medical advice we take from the hive mentality of the dot com), a bruised tailbone usually takes about 4 weeks to heal and a broken tail bone can take up to 12 weeks.\u00a0 While there are more serious drugs for painkilling, there isn\u2019t much else to do besides rest and ice and compression and elevation (including the hemorrhoid donut to elevate the buttocks above the hard surfaces whilst sitting).\u00a0 Getting back to physical exercise is essentially done on a pain threshold basis \u2013 once the healing is in process or done it\u2019s a matter of how much pain can one endure to do the exercise.<\/p>\n

With a few minor detours and cries for help that ultimately had me dropping out and then dropping back in, I was able to endure the pain for 26.2 miles in Ventura.\u00a0 So when the time comes, I\u2019ll just have to suck up the pain regardless.\u00a0 There\u2019s too many events already booked and paid for.<\/p>\n

But I have found myself hesitant to commit to any other events in 2018.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure what to do.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll run again.\u00a0 It\u2019s a wallow.\u00a0 A cruddy wallow that no one wants to follow.\u00a0 So maybe it\u2019s for the best that I can\u2019t post this.<\/p>\n

Meantime, here\u2019s some of the free race photos from Ventura that they just sent me.\u00a0 While some shots look like my usual un-photogenic self, some I think readily show the half stride and poor form of my rattling bones, back, and butt.<\/p>\n
