A Case of Drag Ass

Everything about my run this morning indicates that I am suffering from a confirmed case of "Drag Ass." It's a real affliction. I swear. In fact, the Physician's Desk Reference has an entry for it:

A mental and physical inability to respond to necessity or demand. Those suffering from this condition may feel as though they are moving in slow motion, and despite being aware of their limited mobility and muted mental acuity, they are unable to improve upon either. Frequent sufferers of this condition include college students, those in their mid-20s who are often recovering from "last night at the bar," and those who are new parents.

See? It's real. And you can't prove otherwise.

  1. Tomorrow it will be a case of "light a fire under my ass" and you will smoke your stats.

    It would be so cool to move in slow motion (unless of course you are running). Do you know how many people you would piss off?

  6. I really had NO IDEA the PDR was THAT helpful!
    When times are rough, remember...you're still in FL!
    It's 40, still dark, and foggy here right now :)

  20. As a new parent still in school, I can attest that the day after the bar when you are approaching your mid-thirties is much more challenging than it was in your mid-twenties.

  21. Hmmm.. running in slow motion? That got to feel like running in a pool of peanut butter. That's hard to move huh?

  22. Maybe I should have added "drag ass" to my list of possible ailments - this will only make sense if you already read my blog post for today. :)
