I was a runner until I went knee on knee with a guy while playing soccer this year.
Now I can't run for more than 15 minutes without it feeling like someone is taking a pick ax to my kneecap.
I'm going for physiotherapy but so far it's just stoped the pain from walking. I want to run damn it!

Awww... just like Forrest Gump. 
"Run, Curt, run!"
Quote: Tim Walker @ October 14 2009, 1:29 AM BSTI doubt it would cost much for your family doc to run this test, for some peace of mind. But what do I know, being in the UK? It's just a few leads on your chest, a portable recorder and getting a specialist to interpret the printout.)
I have excellent insurance; I doubt it'd cost me more than $30-50 out of pocket. I'm more worried about having to explain this:
Doc: "Look at that rapid heartbeat at 11:30! Your heart was almost red-lined!"
Me: "I was, uh, looking at a video I downloaded." 
(Just be "creative" in the diary you have to keep to go with the test. Say you were "working out" - technically not a lie really. 
)

One look at the difference in size between my right and left arms and he'll see right through the ruse.
I don't run. I do in my knees enough with cycling, tae bo, yoga, and dancey prancing. They will rebel.

Is that along the same lines as foxy-boxing?

Yes but with feeling....

What? Spanking the Monkey whilst watching it?

I can't dance with any degree of dignity. 
I'm waiting until I'm officially old and grey enough to do ballroom dancing without being labelled as a gaylord.

Not touching that...
In other news I just made a great vegetarian stir fry.

Out of friendship, I won't touch that either.
(Even though I'm supposed to be helping fill-in for Leevil on the innuendo front, whilst he's on holiday.)

Why a gaylord? British insults have a class system?

Indeed.
Gaylords.
Queens.
Lady Rugmunchers.
Tranny Barons.

Do I bow or curtsy? I want to observe proper etiquette.
I have to put the rest of that stir fry away. I was just up picking at it. Need to lose 5 pounds.
