I was reading through the recent posts, and realized I haven’t really posted anything worth a crap in the last week or so. I’ll try to deliver better this week

Anyway, I’m finally back in the groove of getting up at 5. The initial struggle is always well worth it, and you get a good sense of accomplishment just from getting up, much less going to the gym.

It’s no secret, I’ve been having some problems running consistently lately, usually a good workout followed by a few days of leg pain. Well, I’ve finally got some shoes that I think will help, (they are very relaxed in fit, like the Nike Frees, but also have a lot of good cushioning for the foot) the Adidas ClimaCool Recoil. Very awesome shoe.

Regardless, I took it kind of easy this morning, and did about 3.1 miles in 30 minutes at a 1% incline. It seems like things went really well, leg-wise, so I’m going to start to up my speed, time, and distance. Wednesday is our swim day again (and hopefully the pool will be open), and we’ll probably cancel the running because 1) a little extra time in the pool won’t hurt at this stage, and 2) it’s just too darn hot this week.

I called the postal service, and my copy of “Ultramarathon Man” should be in today. Thank goodness, I ordered it almost a week ago. Anyone care to comment on why the postal service won’t just leave a package at your door anymore? Jeez.

Lastly, Stark, email me if you’re interested in posting and I’ll get you set up. Katie isn’t going to be joining us, so we have a slot open.
