ode to a callus

Anyone who's ever done anything slightly exercise worthy knows one thing, Sooner or later, your gonna either get a blister or a callus. Now blisters are yucky, I gotta pop them and they annoy me to no end, but calluses are cool. They show that you have been progressively training, and the body is building itself up to handle the workload. This is where i have found my training. I am slowly slowly seeing improvement in every aspect. My running is getting better everytime I go out, my weights go up every time i lift. Last nite my wife noticed that my knees don't quite make the snaps crackles and pops they used to, and i have found that i come back from the run feeling winded but good, and while i still don't look forward to getting out there (think its mostly the weather, if you're on the east coast, you know it ain't been jogging season), i get out there and every time push that little bit harder. Tonite I go for a run, and I'm bringing my Drill instructor. I am hoping to beat her up the hill today.
that's about it, for me, except that i have started to eat a salad a day, and i think my wife would prefer i left off the raw broccoli for gaseous reasons.
Remember in your endeavours, we want to callus, not blister. Take it easy make little gains, and soon you'll be where we need to be.
