3 miles yesterday, rest today

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but that happens. Ran 3 miles yesterday but was REALLY feeling it in the hip. Oddly enough, stretching helped tremendously and pain was minimal the rest of the day.



I seem to be getting back to normal, bit by bit.

Splits
Mile 1: 9:12
Mile 2: 9:02
Mile 3: 9:37

And today was a rest day, which after the soreness was certainly welcome. I also have a funny story.

There's a new product on the market called Action Wipes. They're designed as an all natural way to clean up when active, whether you do sports or just sweaty from driving a while. :) The woman who created them is named Martha Van Inwegen, and I follow her on Twitter.

There's also a longtime author who used to edit Runner's World, named Bart Yasso. Martha was at an event, talking to Bart, and I joked on Twitter that she should have him autograph a single-serving pack of Action Wipes. Ha-ha, that was that.

So yesterday I opened the mailbox to find she'd sent me a package:



You got it, she sent me a bunch of Action Wipes, two of which were autographed by Bart Yasso. The caption reads, "Greg, never limit where running can take you. Bart Yasso". What a hoot! I was laughing for about 10 minutes on that one.

Anyway, tomorrow's a 5-mile run in the morning, and a 5-mile hike to a 10k peak! Big, busy day. Have a good evening!

• 13:35:53: @pandora_radio How can I stop Pandora from thinking that because I like one Christian band I like them all? It's annoying.
  
• 13:36:25: @pandora_radio I did a search for an alternative Christian band from the 80s, now it thinks I like the pukey Christian pop of today
  
• 13:41:24: @ginaharris1 It's something, that's for sure.
  
• 13:47:39: @smellycents I have no idea, my kids are the same way. Why, back in my day, we HATED hot! :)
  
• 14:00:53: @blackfonzie Dude, you have no right to be so hilarious, so consistently. You should be ashamed.
  
• 14:01:10: @Oblivion Do you realize the abbreviation for Burning Man is BM?

• 15:17:45: @blackfonzie check out the blog entry immediately following that one, dunno if it's a real script but it's good

• 18:47:45: @davidoberry Not #Tweed. #Twee. Twee kicks the world's butt and then some. Mind you I haven't seen #ubertwitter but seriously, #twee rules
  
• 18:48:18: I just got home, got my mail, opened a random package and laughed for the next 10 minutes.
  
• 18:48:49: There are 5 individual #actionwipes here, two of which are autographed by Bart Yasso

• 19:07:20: @sarahjclark That's hot.
  
• 19:10:07: @bapper Dude, you ROCK! Rock, I say.
  
• 19:21:56: @bapper I've managed to stay under 10 min miles lately, closer to 9, which is nice but I still haven't run over 5. Next week I will.
  
• 19:22:20: @bapper You're gonna nail that marathon though
  
• 19:40:30: http://twitpic.com/c7jjt - Thank you #ActionWipes, @MarthaVan, & @BartYasso!
  
• 19:45:43: @alitherunner Do you remember Deana Kastor's massage in Spirit of the Marathon?
  
• 19:48:43: @alitherunner Wha?!?!?!?!?!
  
• 19:49:42: @alitherunner Her husband's giving her a massage, moving her legs around and at the end she's in tears
  
• 19:49:56: @alitherunner Have you ever heard of Doctor Who?
  
• 19:50:04: @alitherunner Ever seen Star Wars?
  
• 19:50:20: @alitherunner Have you ever seen the BRADY BUNCH?!?!
  
• 19:51:10: @Jeffdc5 The #pre homebrew community is getting to be like the #PalmOS community was. Oh wait, it's the same community. :) @Palm rules.

• 20:03:13: Where's @eveblackorwhite. I know where she lives.
  
• 20:03:38: @karrock Because I'm dirty? Was, was dirty. I guess I'm dirty now, but I'll shower again later.
  
• 20:03:58: @karrock Does the term "Hunka Hunka Burnin Love" mean anything to you?
  
• 20:04:19: @dnorton @alitherunner She could also get it like I did: Bittorrent. Oh, did I say that? ;)
  
• 20:10:14: @karrock Dude... you can't see anything, I even cropped it. No moobs! No moobs!
  
• 20:12:09: @karrock So you WANT to see moobs? You're sick, man.
  
• 20:13:41: @karrock Nah, I posted "Stop that, I know where you live" on FB and @eveblackorwhite clicked that she liked it. yet she wasn't online.
  
• 20:13:45: @karrock Tricky, that one.
  
• 20:15:40: "I named my dog Stay, so whenever I call him I go, come here, stay, come here, stay." Steven Wright
  
• 20:19:28: @karrock I was hoping it'd wake the beast but it didn't.
  
• 20:21:36: @bapper Will you be using it for more than just Lava Beds? If not, get a cheap one at Walmart.
  
• 20:22:42: @karrock @alitherunner Is this avatar better?
  
• 20:22:52: @karrock @alitherunner It's Lost-inspired.
  
• 20:24:14: @team_enlyten You know what they say. I'm too sexy for my eyeball.
  
• 20:28:13: @karrock @alitherunner Maybe my avatar should be the smoke monster
  
• 20:33:25: Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you.
  
• 20:34:36: @bapper In that case you'll want one, although if for runs & trail riding I'd stick with a 1L. 2L is a bit big (I tried that once hehe)
  
• 20:35:30: Oh man, 20 oz isn't big enough for hardly anything. I use up the Arrowhead bottles (700ml/1pt7oz) for a one-hour run
  
• 20:35:54: For the longer runs, caching water worked well for me, and being out there overnight they were chilled
  
• 20:36:03: OK I can't stand this, my avatar's driving me nuts.
  
• 20:36:13: OOH I just thought of a good one
  
• 20:38:26: how about me as fat elvis?
  
• 20:39:38: Thank you very much.
  
• 20:40:42: @MarthaVan When you took a picture of them before, I didn't make the connection that he put my name on them!
  
• 20:40:57: @MarthaVan I'm hiking up a 10k peak on Saturday, I'll bring them along
  
• 20:41:56: @bapper I take water for the shortest of runs, especially in the heat. Today I ran 3 miles and drank half the bottle.
  
• 20:49:57: @beejjorgensen Yup, same here. I learned that lesson early on hiking at Bald Rock Dome... got dehydrated on top of a rock, almost passed out
  
• 20:50:07: @beejjorgensen Not 40 feet from water, too
  
• 20:54:13: Pam Dawber in Mork & Mindy was HAWT.
  
• 20:55:00: @davidoberry Dunno, but you can sign up for the beta, they email update links. I love #twee.

• 22:22:54: At the airport, waiting for my mom's flight. She'll be last off the plane, guaranteed.
  
• 22:35:21: This is nuts, picking up my mom this late. Whatever happened to going to bed @ 9pm? :(
  
• 22:36:22: @sam2579 @deliciousmorsel Blip.fm integration is a must, with streams hehehe
  
• 22:39:17: Interesting. Flightview on @palm #pre shows the flight as landed, the airport monitors show it's in the air.
