damn gnats
ew. i think a gnat just flew up my nose.
gross.
*ahem*
ANYway.. i just spent a good 15 minutes writing a fantastic post about this morning's 5 mile run and... my internet crapped out on me.
awesome.
SO, because i no longer have the patience to get into any sort of detail, i'll just bullet point it for you...
... er. i'll dash mark it for you. cuz my shortcut keys aren't working either.
-- 5 mile run on post, 11am
-- my shins hurt in a way that haven't hurt in a LONG. TIME. this was not pleasing to me.
-- infact, i would go out on a limb and say this was down right torturous and quite uncomfortable and, if i had my say, i would definitely nominate myself for a shin transplant.
-- i ran into some super-secret-you're not allowed-part of post and there were a lot of boys in uniform driving past while i ran.
-- this made for a rather speed 2-4 mile run.
-- which then in turn made for a NOT speedy 5th mile run.
-- heh. whoops. i guess i need to work on my pacing, eh?!
-- overall time, 55:08.... 11 minute miles. taking into consideration this was my long run time at the END of marathon training last year, and i'm still at the BEGINNING, this year... i've decided progress has been made.
-- i sweat a lot. i need a new way to carry my ipod.
and..... thats all i've got for the day.

how about an arm band? sounds like you need to warm up and stretch before really getting into the run? shin splints blow.

my ipod clips into my shorts. it works. sexy as hell, too.
oh, and i ALWAYS run faster when there are hot guys around. married or not, i'm still female.

don't know why that posted twice... sorry.
but, i was going to add that my always running faster is still on the slow side of... slow.

Yay for progress!
I waver between my sweaty arm band or sticking the ipod in the back pocket of a running shirt.

i always run on main streets where i know hot guys are walking so i am forced to speed it up. then again i look like i want to die, so that's not particularly sexy.
i use my ipod arm band, but that sometimes slips off due to excessive sweatiness. or, i sometimes put it in the front little pocket of my running shorts.

i carry my access card in um, a certain secret area. once i stuck a credit card in there and then used it to buy coffee.
the starbucks clerks love me.

You need new shoes. I used to get shin splints until someone figured out that I'm a pronator and I got the right shoes for that problem. Voila! No more shin problems Now it's my knees - but only when my shoes get old. My iPod, however is very good about staying in my pocket (I have a nano)

iPod on the back of your hat. Shorter strides to combat the shin splints. Cute boys...always a bonus!
