When I run, it is all sorts of noisy.

I wish I could run.

I mean, I CAN run.

But it is best to save that nonsense for when someone is chasing me. With a knife.

If they have a gun, forget it.

I wish I could run for exercise.

Lots of people do it,

I envy those runners.

Burning all those calories.

They make me a bit mad. Out there running and burning those calories.

I want to burn calories quickly too. But I can’t.

I see those runners running and I think: BRAGGERS!!!

Every once in a while, I will try it. for a minute or two.

It hurts.

It hurts my feet.

It hurts my ankles.

It hurts my knees.

It hurts my ears.

WHAT???

my ears???

Yes, my ears.

You see, when I run, I have to move my arms.

My arms are connected to my shoulders. are yours?

My right shoulder talks to me.

My right shoulder is a LOUD talker.

it goes

click

clack

click

clack

CLICK

CLACK.

CLICK.CLACK.CLICK.CLACK.CLICK.CLACK.

It sounds like a couple of little tap dancers are following me.

And those tap dancers are holding click clackers.

My IPod can’t even drown out the noise.

Does your body talk back to you?

  3. Totally! I hardly have a joint that doesn't scream something at me daily. Supposedly swimming is the one exercise I can do without pain, but then me in a bathing suit would cause LOTS of pain to any poor onlookers. So, I'll walk and have an occasional jog. I-yi-yi!!

  8. Just reading this makes me miss working out even though I have lost the drive over the past few months in dealing with injuries. But, that is all going to change because next week I MUST start working out again. My dream is to be one of those \”braggers\” 🙂 again. My goal is to run in the this charity race and be on a team with my brothers and my kids, towards the end of this year. But, yeah my body talks to me. Right now it's telling me to drink some more coffee. 🙂

  13. I am with you 100% on the \”runner's envy.\” I used to run, and it is fabulous for fitness. But nowadays, my knees don't like it, and the rest of me agrees. To have a runner's body…well, every time the Title 9 catalog, or the Athleta catalog arrives, I WISH*I WISH*I WISH I was a runner.Now, I'm a walker, which is lovely and gentle. But a walker's body is not the same as a runner's body, truth be told. XO

  15. I can't run either, but I don't think my body is quite as talkative as yours. At least my iPod can drown out my body's complaints. Fortunately they now say that walking is as good (if not better) than running.

  17. My knee clicks sometimes, but I don't hear it when I run. I don't hear anything, because I'm wearing a hat to keep my ears from freezing off. I jog some in the wintertime, mostly to keep in shape. I don't want Mischief to have to carry 20 extra pounds, come spring!

  18. Yep. Every time I squat down for something, my knee pops. And when I rock in the rocking chair, one ankle pops. Every time. Maybe we need some WD-40! LOL

  24. My hair dresser once said–\”If you see me runnin' call the police–somebody is after me!\”my hair dresser and I think alike!it just looks like it would hurt more than feet, ankles, knees, and ears–if you know what I mean!

  25. When I try to run, my boobs announce \”WE'RE NOT ENJOYING THIS!\” so I have no choice but to sit back down on the couch and watch more TV. 🙂

  26. Oh yes my body is saying, \”get your fat as* off your sorry pity party pony and onto the treadmill..you've been workin' that knee injury long enough!\” Ironically both my children, who swore they'd never run unless chasing a ball, joined cross country this year and loved it!!! Do not give up – there may be a running group out there just funky enough to motivate you!

  29. Try speed walking. It's far better on the joints. Plus…you look so geeky that no one would accuse you of being a bragger.On a serious note…one shoulder should not click. Have it checked out and see if there are some shoulder exercises that will stop the clicking.

  31. My body says, \”Stop running, fool!\” I tell it to shut up. Then we fight for a while. BUT I do believe some people's bodies are built for running (legs to body proportions) and some are not. If it really hurts, that a good sign you might be better off with something else. Ain't no shame in doing something else!
