Sometimes Ibuprofen Doesn't Cut It

It's about 3:30 AM and I'm awake because of two things, or one thing that caused two problems: I exercised at 11 PM and my back hurts. My back hurts not because I exercised - although the plyometric jumping didn't help - but because I exercised with old tennis shoes. The life of a tennis shoe with a person that exercises 6X a week is very short. I want to get Shox by Nike but those suckers are more than I want to spend on a shoe that will probably last me about 6 months. So hey, if anyone wants to get me a discount, that'd be pretty sweet. I thank you in advance.

Back to my problem, which is actually pretty small. I mean, I have my health, and I'm getting healthier all the time, and I have a good life here in this small town called Middle-of-Nowhereville. If you ever get a chance, look us up. I think we only just made it onto maps (some of them still no) about 7 years ago. I can travel 2 hours North or South and no one has heard of this place. They've heard of the larger city about 10 miles from here, but not here. I have a job as a cashier in a place that shall remain nameless because I signed a contract saying I would never talk about the place where I work or the people that work there. You'd think I work in the FBI or something. We sell arts and craft items. How serious are we supposed to be? I think it should be a fun, easy-going place to work. Guess what? I love my co-workers, but all the rules corporate places on our heads makes work a drag. I have a job at a store, but my career, my passion, the reason I write this blog, is coaching for Beachbody. Beachbody is a fitness company that makes the P90X, Insanity, and TurboFire workout DVD's - along with many others most people don't know about. They also make everything that a person could need for those workouts - exercise equipment (pull-up bars, yoga mats, dumbells, etc.) and the supplements a person needs for their body to preform at their best. Where do I come in? I recommend those products to people and when they buy them from me, I help them out by keeping them accountable. No one has to buy something from me. I help people out for free too.

I'm not wearing my glasses and the screen keeps blurring up on me because I'm getting tired. The rest of this blog must be cut short. I had about 8 pages worth of material I was going to share but - no, no don't cry. You know that's not true. I could put on my glasses and continue on if that were the case. I would bore myself if I prattled on for that long! About the Ibuprofen I mentioned in the title. I took it about an hour ago and it isn't working. I need to find a better way to get rid of my pain like massage rollers or stretching (oh, I mentioned stretching in my last post! I'm good) because this Ibuprofen doesn't do anything for me. Please don't tell me about Tylenol, Aleve, or Excedrin because those don't really work for me either. Maybe I should switch to Morphine...or not.
