My left cheek hurts...

*Before reading, make sure you read blog post "The Winds of Change"*

Hi,

Interesting title right? Did I get punched in the face? Nope. Did bite down on a jawbreaker? No sir. Am I talking about a different cheek? DING.

My left glute has been absolutely killing me for the last week. That's right, I said it, glute. I didn't want to get much more crass that that because my grandmother reads this blog and in recent months she has taught me not to swear. Not only that but I have a 2 month old at home that doesn't need to hear anything other than fanny.

So here's the deal...as you might have noticed in my little info box, when I am not out selling houses, I really love running. Crazy right? How could I love something that to most, seems pretty boring. Hey, I love being outside, I love getting a workout and I love the feeling after a run that, even if I don't do anything else today, at least I got a run in and burned some calories.

Onto the story...Over the summer I went to a high altitude running camp in Mammoth Lakes, California. While I was running my behind started aching a little bit. I have been running for years, and I had never really experienced this sort of soreness before so I just kind of ignored it and assumed, with regular stretching, that it wouuld kind of dissapear. So I keep running through the camp and all the way through summer. Over the past 2 weeks it really started to get to me. I finally had to call the doctor see if we could figure out what was wrong. This was something that was starting to affect me on an everyday basis.

I saw him this morning and it turns out that the muscle is just extremely tight. That's it!! I thought he was going to tell me that my rear end was broken and I was going to need bum surgery. Nope, a tight muscle...

*Sidenote* Not often that someone tells you that you have a tight butt and you get bummed out.

So he stuck his elbow into the muscle and I could barely breathe I was in so much pain. Apparently, it's supposed to help but I guess we'll see in the next few days.

We are in the begining stages of getting the muscle loosened up but in the meantime, I had to go to work today. Thursday is usually a day when I go out with my dad and our friend Carol to check out the houses that have recently come on the market. So I got laughed at by my loving father as I limped around from house to house...I'm exaggerating a little but hey, it hurt.

So, what's the point of this story? I am getting old. Make sure you stretch. This is the new blog format people, love it or hate...hopefully it grows on you.

The Winds of Change

Hi,

To my faithfull followers...all ten of you. I write today with news of a new direction. The goal of this blog has always been to talk about any experience or share a story, and in the end tie it back to Real Estate. While that still remains the main goal, I will be adding a little twist to the things I write about.

From this point forward I will focus this blog on my personal experiences IN GENERAL. Yes, shocking change I know. I can hear you now screaming, "NO CONOR, for the LOVE OF GOD, don't change this blog!" Well you know what, I want give the people what they want...but since I can't give everyone money, vacation time, and daily foot massages, I will give you more blog posts. The way to give you more blog posts is by having more material to work with, so I am opening up the playbook. From now on, I am going to talk about whatever I feel like. I promise to keep it clean, and I promise to try to stay focused on Real Estate.

Also note the name change in the blog, I will have a new one up by the end of the day. I already have a topic in mind.

Conor
