The more miles I run, the more\u00a0my body has learned to use the smallest number of muscles necessary to run. This efficiency results in a few comparatively powerful muscles working like iPhone assembly\u00a0wage slaves while a whole bunch of atrophied muscles sit around eating Jax\u00a0and cheering on the effort. \u201cWoot,\u201d yells latissimus. \u201cYou go, hamstrings! Woooot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, however, my head will overwhelm the working muscles with increased demands without increased recovery time and the working muscles will tire and finally call upon the no-twitch muscles for some support. This ends poorly for me. Latissimus, or some other welfare-sucking muscle, jumps off the couch, spills his beer, sprints to the door, and promptly tears himself in half. Every witness nerve pisses himself. Pain wakes up, flicks open her eyes, and shouts, \u201choly shit! Did someone just kill Latissimus!? What the fucking fuck!?\u201d Surrounding muscles panic and spasm. It\u2019s a real messy shit show.<\/p>\n<p>So then my\u00a0back hurts and it\u2019s hard to do anything strenuous, like stand up or lift a glass of water. After a couple days of ibuprofen or naproxen, I\u2019ll overlook the awkwardness of my\u00a0doctor\u2019s last vigorous prostrate examination and make an appointment.
