I have been so lame. I have been sick and today is just the second full day of feeling like a normal human again. I also went out of town for a long weekend of family and friends and fun. I had a 2 week cold which was mostly a cough but before it ended, I also spent just under three full days with a migraine. Yuck. But now, things are looking up and I went out for a 6 mile run to celebrate. I ran Rhubarb to Miwok to Coyote Ridge and it was a lovely, blue sky and warm day. Official stats are: 6.01 miles in 1:13 at 12:11. I felt a little bit sluggish but that's no big surprise given how I've felt the past two weeks.
I am also very excited because on Monday night, I'll be doing a clinic at UCSF called RunSafe. The whole idea of the program is to evaluate your stride, footstrike, etc. your feet, your nutrition, etc. so that you have a good and strong training season without getting injured. I am very excited to get a spot in the clinic before my serious training begins. I'll be sure to update you on what I learn.
And finally, I am lusting over a new Nike GPS running watch that will be coming out soon. I want it badly. I have an older Garmin GPS watch which used to work really well but it's quite old and now it just shuts off while I'm running, even when the watch has a full charge when I start the run. My only worry about the Nike watch is that it is based on GPS technology by TomTom and I don't have any idea how reliable or good their technology is. I know for sure that Garmin is great, I hope that TomTom is too. Especially out here in the hills where I like to run.
Well, that's about it for me. I'll post pictures from today's run for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
