I injured myself while running more than two weeks ago. Using the two photos below, you can win cash by correctly guessing what my injury is.

I’ve become prone to calf muscle tears in the cold or cool season, and I’ve learned I can’t return to running for at least three weeks.

To promote healing, a few times every day I stand on the edge of a step and lower and raise my heel thirty times.

Not being able to run has disrupted my daily routine and left a big void in my life. I spend a lot of time staring forlornly out the window.

I’m so bored, I nap two or three times a day.

When I can muster enough energy, I get a piece of wood from my woodpile and make toothpicks. Other days I use my maul to smash rocks until it’s reduced to sand. I spread it on my icy sidewalks.

Come evening, my cat Gloopy and I bond by watching Nature on PBS.
