Yes, I made it up to SNAP last night. So when I jog today, I will have completed a full week of my new routine. So far I am pleased with it. Although I'm not walking or jogging on those days I am working my legs out when at the gym. I particularly like doing the weighted calve raises. My arms are hanging in there, even though some nights it still feels funny to raise my arms and wash my hair.
I was visiting Mike's place yesterday and I noticed he placed videos in his sidebar.
I liked that idea. So I copied him. I have placed a couple of my favorite Youtube vids in mine. It took me a bit to figure out how to resize the clips, but it became obvious when looking at the code.

Busted by my hair stylist.
Happy April everyone! Tonight I got a hair cut. Nicole, who has been cutting my hair for a while now, remembered that I am training for Dam to Dam and the Disney 1/2 marathon. She also remembered one other thing from an earlier visit. She asked me if I had done any runs without my ipod and headphones. I had to tell her that no, I had not, though I plan to before DAM to DAM.
Last month, I had discussed with her about how many races are forbiding the use of such devices for safety reasons. Dam to Dam has banned them, but you won't find that on the web page. I actually sent in an e-mail and asked about it. I was not planning on using them but I wanted the official word.
This coming weekend I plan on meeting up with Larry from work. He and I ran Dam '06 together. We are going to do a run together on Saturday and I am not bringing the ipod.
Last night I did make it to SNAP. Got an hour of various weight lifting and such in.
Tonight was an outdoor jog that went ok. I encountered some discomfort in my left knee a couple times and had to interupt my jog to walk it off. It was a bummer to slow down and walk, but it bothered me enough that I had to listen to it. Perhaps with having done my long jog on Sunday instead of Saturday I should have taken it a little slower. Another recovery day would have been nice.
