Cravings and Foam Roller Terrorism

Today is a rest or XT day.  That means, I am doing some light flexibility work, some core strengthening stuff, spending some time on the foam roller and dusting off the unicycle.

I got through the flexibility and core work and my body sent a strong request:  "we would appreciate it very much if you would be so kind as to feed us a Peanut Butter and Honey sandwich, if it's not too much trouble, thank you ever so much."

Into the kitchen I go.

Ok, all the PB and Honey craving cells in my body gave out a collective "that's just what I wanted."  How do they know what they want?  I have no idea.  Most days I just try to eat a nice variety of things and let them get what they need that way.  Today, it was definitely PB & Honey on the menu.

Back to the foam roller.  These are the latest craze in the fitness world.  But it turns out that the technology for foam rollers isn't new at all.  It turns out that these have been around for some time.  Vikings used to foam roller their victims as they plundered and pillaged, giving rise to the haunting battle cry, "plundra plundring och använda skumgummirulle."  Later, they were used as a medieval torture device (ofergietan þæs hengen, broc þæm fám wealoa).  Lately, our high tech military satelites have captured images from remote al-quaida training facilities where jihadists practice foam roller terrorism (نهب نهب واستخدام الأسطوانة رغوة).  Seriously, these are great everyone should have one.

 Now, where did I put that unicycle?
