Healing

Since the Boston marathon bombings earlier this week, I've spent a lot my free time listening to podcasts about running, reading eyewitness reports, and reading other blogs written by other runners. It's been a really tough week for the running community. It's been a tough week for me personally.

Normally, I deal with adversity through humor. I can turn pretty much anything into a joke, because I'm naturally hilarious. This doesn't feel appropriate, nor does it seem like it would make me feel any better. And I couldn't sleep at night making a joke out of an event that caused such horrific injuries and deaths.

Maybe I do need to laugh, forget the tragedy for a little while. Maybe this is a job for Will Farrell?

Ron Burgundy would definitely make me smile--and if Eddie and I had matching PJ's like he and Baxter do, double happiness!
Chaz Michael Michaels for some inappropriate yet silly gay innuendos!
Frank the Tank and streaking in the quad always brightens my day!
Step brothers and BFFs? A dream come true!

Or a little Ricky Bobby--the most inspirational man of all time?

I think I may have just set up my weekend!
