Today: 10 minute warmup on treadmill. 45 minute yoga class. I’m seeing definite improvement in flexibility even after only 3 or 4 classes. Then 6.3 miles (10K) on the treadmill.
- My iPod Shuffle was worth every penny.
- I need better socks and shoes.
- I need a headband to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
- The worst part (for me, and now for you), after an hour my nipples were rock-hard and in pain from chafing against my t-shirt.
- Oddly, this is the 2nd time I’ve had a run after a class like this. I go in telling myself that I want to run at least a mile. Then two. Then 3.125. Before you know it, it’s 10 more minutes ’til 45 minutes. Somehow, that translated into 74 minutes.
- Power bars can go bad / dry / hard. Ick.
Go me!
Power bars can go bad / dry / hard. Ick.
So apparently can nipples. Ick.
Uh, where did my formatting go? Is this supposed to take html?
Apparently so. Sigh. Ok, I’ll stop spamming you now.
Sorry. Formatting of comments is currently broken / not supported. It’s on my list of things to do, but as you can see, I’m not doing that well at keeping up with my to do list.
There’s also something weird going on with the syndication feed as at livejournal (for instance) it’s showing as “No Comments” in the box you have set off for comments (I’m not talking about comments on LJ itself).
Yes. Also another known failing. I keep telling myself I’ll fix all this when I have time / when I’m unemployed, but neither of those seems to have happened yet. Guess I have to make them happen on my own.
Go Nick! To make runs more “comfortable,” headbands work great but mine always fall off eventually (my head’s not big enough to keep them in place i suppose), then special running shorts & shirts to keep body parts un-hurt.
I gave up running in favor of dancing lately. Maybe it’s time I learn how to use my ipod to keep me moderately entertained on the treadmill.
[...] Email response to having run 10K. Hiya, muffin! First, sorry about not getting back to you in the past couple of days. Work has been wacky, y’know? That said, your athletics have been most impressive. I think we’ve created a monster… [...]
I can’t believe I’m going to tell you this, but: if the nipple chafing becomes too painful, use vaseline. (This is what marathon runners do.)
Ain’t I Hip: Thank you. I’m not sure I want to try that at the work gym, but if push comes to shove I will. Hopefully my wicking shirts will not chafe.
[...] Why do I publicize this? Hmmm. The more people that mention it to me / comment / make fun of me, the more motivated I get. I’m also trying to cultivate a healthy addiction to running and exercise (just like my now-faded addiction to squares). If I say I’m going to do something, I have everyone I’ve talked / boasted / bragged to to keep me honest… I have to live up to the inane crap that I spout. Besides, every-so-often I get great tips from people like Ain’t I Hip. It also leads to people challenging me to do 5-mile runs in NYC. [...]
[...] Thanks to a tip from Ain’t I Hip (who is just soooo much cooler than I am) I was comfy throughout the run. [...]
