one of the main questions that lead me to study what i do (and keeps me doing what i'm doing) is 'why do some people get injured while others do not?' while this is definitely a feature piece, there is an interesting article in the ny times today (read it here) which talks about how little we know about injury. the author gives an example of three different athletes who all do fairly high volume training (or at least two do) but whose injury records are very different. what makes some people fragile while others are able to just pound out the miles in worn out shoes? and is the difference only physical? or is some of it mental as well? and can fragility/durability change over time?
on a completely unrelated note, i've been dreaming lately, which is weird. i can't remember the last semester i had where i actually had dreams during the term. i always dream after the term is over and i start sleeping more. right now, however, its the middle of the semester too because in them friends from all different parts/times in my life are saying the things i have been thinking lately though they may not (in reality) actually know the person, do the activity, have the opinion, etc, they're talking about (though i do). so i think all the running i'm doing such that when i sleep, i sleep really well.
it is almost halloween. yeah!
