Why does crazy crap happen to me?  So here I was last night, just set up my old road bike with it's new wheels and was sooo excited to get on and spin for a few min. 

Went and got my cycling shoes and WOW did they stink!  It was like a cat had performed some weird bathroom ritual in them.....sigh, so I went and put them in the washing machine, little soap, little OxiClean, and an Ounce of beach for good measure.

Went back when the washing cycle was done AND LOOK WHAT I PULLED OUT !!!! UGH, I don't have the money for this crap, I mean really!  The ridged soles completely detached from the uppers and the uppers all but disolved! 

Well let's hope today will get better.  If anyone knows where I can get an inexpensive pair of cycling shoes from let me know.... 'Till next time.

Peace & Blessing

Ortho Appt

Well I broke down and called my Ortho.....Never thought I could get an appointment with the guy I wanted to see and the conversation went something like this.

Me: Hello, what is the possibility of getting an appointment with Dr.B
Rec: hahahahaha, your name?
Me: TimP
Rec: Oh we know you; Hold on please.
Rec: Be here at 3:30 and we will work you in.

Is that a bad thing?
Updates will come later.

Peace Ya'll!

Afternoon Run

My runs are getting a little better.  I ran today and was less wore-out that normal. I mixed a new route with an old route and kept the mileage under four miles.   No automated RunKeeper tracking today, however I manually plotted my rout and entered a rounded up time.

Hot Run

It has been soooo hot here lately, in the 100’s, it has been really hard to run and post up any decent times.  Since it has not been getting dark until about 8:30pm  I decided to do a late evening run tonight at 7:45 PM and would try some different techniquies J

Tonight’s workout I would start out with a 1mile warm-up then stop and stretch.  I held about an 8min mile for a little over a mile then stopped and stretched out my Hams, Quads, Calfs & Hipflexors.

Part II of the workout was a 1Mile sprint which I ended up holding a 7Min pace.

Part III of the workout was a 1Mile Recovery run at an 8Min Pace.

Part IV of the workout was a 2Mile tempo run at 7:30 Pace.

RunKeeper

Overall I was very pleased with my run, even though my times are slow, but only time and training will fix that.
