Marathon, broken resolution, and fantasy football

Ironically, it was in preparing for the marathon on 10-20 that I broke my new year's resolution not to block a toilet.  Technically, the toilet was already blocked up, presumably because of low water pressure from so much use of water by the runners before the race, but I added even more toilet paper to the bowl.

After the triumph of the marathon, I lost my fantasy football match for the week by less than 2 points after a Trent Richardson fumble (-2 points) that set up a field goal for my opponents kicker (+3 points) in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night game.

In the 5 weeks since the marathon, I have not exercised and have gained 7 pounds.  My fantasy football team has straight matches to improve to 7-5.

This reminds me of what happened after I triumphantly returned from 4 days of Shotokan Karate special training.  I rear-ended a car on Massachusetts Avenue.
