perk will be missed

i think i could come up with 43 reasons why this is a bad trade (i wont though, because when the celts dont make it to the finals now, that will be reason enough). giving up a huge defensive presence like perk will hurt them. i guess danny 'change' didnt realize that they lost game 7 of the finals last year because perk was hurt and couldnt play. teams are going to be able to kill us in the paint now. if youre a perkins hater, you dont know anything about basketball. his defense and toughness cant be replaced. heres some highlights of what we will be missing (notice how perk works gasol under the basket, and rejects durant while being offensive fouled). i will hate this trade forever. maybe if they got dwight howard i would be ok with it. nah, even if that did happen, i think i would still hate it. thanks for all your hard work, perk. i hope you can help get oklahoma city to the finals.

11 miles

11 miles 6 x 400 75 74 75 75 72 73 i took a lot of rest between them but it was good to get some faster running in. i still have a long way to go until im back where i was, but i feel good about that workout.

10 miles  i took advil, i stayed on the roads, and the lower ab strain felt better. it was good to get off the trails and back on the road. wow i never thought i would say that. also the nintendo page just got a little shot of life (thanks mike q) so if you have anything to say about duck hunt, you know what to do.

16 miles with jonny in arcadia. this was a good run for about an hour or so, but then the trail conditions got really bad. there was a lot of ice, which aggravated the ongoing problem with my lower abs. every time i slipped it felt like i was getting stabbed in stomach, and i slipped on almost every step. the last hour of this run was not enjoyable because i was in so much pain. i guess ill have to stick to the roads to keep the pain level tolerable.
