Ordered my Forerunner and Fuel Belt.
Posted By Jon in Michigan on June 20, 2004
I’ve ordered my Garmin Forerunner 201 and the 4-bottle fuel belt. Damn excited to get both. I really am looking forward to long runs without carrying a bottle in my hand (although I’ve gotten used to the sloshing and found a way to hold it so as to minimize this anyway), and now when I go on trips I will be able to see my mileage without a measured course. And it looks cool to be so totally wired like that. Like Steve Austin. Oh yes! Nah, nah, nah naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaaaa. You youngins will have no idea what I’m talking about. You older’ns probably won’t either.
Yesterday was supposed to be a crosstraining day but I decided to do weights instead. Actually, I think I can reasonably argue that weight training is crosstraining. Good enough.
I skipped the shin/calf lifts because my right shin was still sore from the long run and I didn’t want to aggrevate it. The other weight stuff went ok, although my progress has come to a halt. I basically held steady from last week, which is good but I want to keep building. Looking ahead in the schedule I think I need to space my weight training out so that its mixed in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Maybe I will do the upper body stuff on Sundays. Seems like that would make things easier to manage.
I have a funny pain in my shin (funny, strange. not funny ha-ha). Its about 5 inches below the knee and right on the bone. Not like the other ones where there was pain at the connection point to the muscle but this is right on the flat area in front where there’s just skin. I feel it when my leg extends, just before the heel strikes. Its dull and not really pinpointable (sp?), but its in the area I described. Probably just bached it on something, but I wanted to document it here so I can look back and see when it first developed.
I want get a running hat. I have dark hair so it gets hot in the summer. A cool hat might come in handy. It has to match my tech gear though. Don’t want to ruin the Steve Austin image.
Today is rest day. I moved it back from Tuesday now that Cub Scouts is done for the summer (except for Summer camp this week and a Todelo Mudhens game).
