Running Report

I've been out running four out of the last six days now. Not super long distances or anything, but hard enough to feel it.

My legs are sore (obviously). My feet feel a little tight from breaking in new shoes.

But my knees... My knees feel great. After years of bitching about my knees and thinking it was just a part of "getting older", I'm feeling much better.

The difference? I've been taking fish oil supplements for the last three months.

I'm not usually a big supplement or alternative medicine guy. But man... This really seems to work. My knees haven't felt this good in years (and it's funny how much easier it is to focus on your mechanics when you're not in pain).

I'm sharing this information in the hopes that it might help someone else. You don't hear that much about fish oil because it's cheap. There's no money to be made off it.

Obviously, talk to your doctor if you're having problems. I talked to my doctor about my fish oil intake and he seemed cool with it.

While everyone else thought Bill looked kinda scary in his gas mask, Daisy described his appearance as "greatly improved".

Camping Story - Footwear



"Did you guys go for a walk?"

"Yup. My shoes got all wet."

"Is that what you're going to wear for the rest of the day?"

"I don't have much else left."

"Honey, you can't wear socks and sandals."

"I'm married. I can wear anything I want."

Welcome to the Canole kitchen...

Now going on 1 day(s) without an accident.

Camping Photos

We went camping in Allegany State Park for a week around Memorial Day. It was the first time we brought Daisy Dog on vacation.

Rather than post them all at once, I'm going to start posting highlights from our camping trip a few at a time.

Here's the view from the porch of the cabin. Nice.

Dog Wash

Because there's nothing more fun on a hot day than running through the sprinkler with your dog.

S'moreos

(As made famous by Pat Canole)

Take one Oreo cookie. Twist open. Remove creme filling. Put wafers aside.

Toast marshmallow.

Place toasted marshmallow between Oreo cookie wafers. Squeeze to side off stick.

Enjoy.

I'm in your fields... Eating your sticks...

Did you know?

Although it would appear to be scientifically impossible, I seem to be able to contract poison ivy just by looking at it.
