This week has been an interesting one for us. I began the week with high hopes for myself, but it go very far. I decided that since my boards were over, it was time to kick my work outs into high gear. I was going to keep the regular morning routine and add a supplemental evening one in. Monday was good and into Tuesday I was just fine, but Tuesday afternoon my legs started to hurt a lot. So I decided I should skip Tuesday night's workout because it wouldn't do to get hurt before the run here in April. Wednesday was more of the same. It seriously felt like I had old lady legs. They were so very achy. Today they are feeling better, but not totally. All I did was one Insanity workout. I did many of them over the summer and didn't have that kind of tightness and aches in my calves, but I also wasn't running in the morning as well. I'm going to give it another go, but its a lot of jump and moving so the calves get tired. (Obviously!) Anyway, I think I'm going to try again tomorrow and I'm thinking I need to do some more extensive stretching afterwards to avoid this happening again. Anyway, this part was just a side note. The real post is about meeting Patch Adams.
On Wednesday night, Patch Adams came to Saint Louis University and we went to see him. What a funny and passionate man! He spent a lot of time talking about different keys points but overall message was healing with love and humor. Some of the things he talked about were a little too 'hippie' for us. (no communes for us!) We really enjoyed seeing him and we got his book and had him sign it so that was exciting. And the chicky who took the pictures...did a damn terrible job. This is the only one I'll actually post, because she was just an awful photographer. If you ever have the opportunity to see him speak, I would suggest that you go. Even if you don't agree with what he says, its really hard to not be affected by someone who is so acutely happy all the time. Its infectious! And its helps that he's quite the clown as well! I would also suggest watching the movie Patch Adams, even though its not a true account of his life, it still, I think, has the same message. And its a beautiful message at that.
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love!!

So neat that you were able to meet him! What a wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteI love the movie Patch Adams and think it would be so interesting and neat to actually meet the man the movie was based on!
ReplyDeleteI also hate lending my camera and asking someone to take photos and they don't take them they way I want them to so they don't turn out quite right. Really bums me out.
