Decision: Try to run on rolled ankle.

Decision: Attend Brett's wedding eleven years later and see the ultra-slim groom v. unslim friends, get inspired.
Result: Befriend Brett.
Decision: Take Philosophy of Mind at Rice with Brett.
Result: Good times.
Decision: Regrettably attend Rice University with my dreams crushed.
Result: Failure to get drafted out of high school by Chicago Cubs.
Decision: Attempt to study, be "well-rounded," etc., in high school instead of devoting 100% of my time to my baseball career.
Result: Take this to heart.
Initial Event: Someone tells me at some point that "being well rounded" is important.

So the ultimate outcome of an attempt to be well-rounded is an ankle that is... well rounded.

(On the plus side: with 20 miles over the last four days, and oh yeah, we're gonna go ahead and count that 3 miles walked on one foot, that's 27 for the week and 107 for the past four weeks, soundly meeting my "somewhere between 100-150 miles" goal. I think the revised goal is for 25-30 per week for the next four weeks, so 100-120 overall - but that may get off to a slow start, pending on how tender this continues to be. Ah, well. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday).
