CIM Training Week 2, Day 7: 11.1 miles
Ow. Owie, ow, ow, OW! OUCH! I'm sore!
I expected to be sore, I just needed a chance to whine. Tomorrow's rest day though, and my quads & calves will be thanking me profusely, I'm sure.
The plan was for 12 miles today, but somehow I took a wrong turn and it ended up being a whole lot less. In fact, I had to backtrack a bit just to make it 11, if I'd gone straight home it would have been more like 10.5.
I ran around the airport this time around instead of taking the railroad track shortcut in order to avoid running on the railroad ties. Mile 2 was long because of stopping to take pictures of that jerk Furneaux Road. May my record of its existence put it in its place!
Around 2.5 miles, a loose dog ran with me for a while. I'm not sure what he was trying to do, but I talked to him for a bit. At 3.5, a little kid was in his yard, behind a chain link fence. As I ran by, he said, "Did you know I can run fast?!?!" I said, "No I didn't." He said, "Watch!" and ran across the yard. "Wow, you ARE fast!" I responded. Cute!
I felt really good the first 5 or 6 miles. After that, my calves started screaming at me, but I pushed on. I realized the wrong turn when I could actually see my housing development from the run, only about 3 miles away. At that point I knew it wouldn't finish at 12 miles, so I kept going past my house to complete the last mile.

Then this evening, I was getting out of the car, stepped down and my ankle rolled to the side. My first thought was, "Oh no!" Then I realized I wasn't in pain.
No ankle pain is a very good thing! The blue you see is KT Tape.

CIM Training Week 2, Days 5 & 6
Yesterday, I drove down to Sunnyvale to meet my good friend Barry from the Tivo Community Forum, and attended his aerobics class, which he described as being "very 80s old school". At least nobody was dressed in 80s workout clothes!
The class itself was, uh... you know how when you see a toddler try to do the exercise video with mommy/daddy? That was me, the difference being, I was anything BUT cute. At least I was in motion the whole time, so I ended up burning 549 calories. So here I was, flailing around, primarily trying to avoid running into the other people, and here's barey up at the front, making jokes about how he should be more like Jillian Michaels!
It was fun though. Afterwards we did 20 minutes of resistance training for another 125 calories. In the end, I burned 675 or so. We finished up at Starbuck's, where I had a smoothie and got to know each other in person a little bit. That's where this picture came from, a guy who worked at Starbuck's took it with my Pre.
When I was done, I drove to San Francisco and met with John Pham, a runner from Chicago who's otherwise known as @phampants on Twitter and elsewhere online. We had lunch, then walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. I tried to get him to run across it with me, but he just ran the Chicago Marathon a few weeks ago and isn't quite ready for running just yet. He was also pretty worn out by walking the hills of SFO for three days.
I ended up getting to bed around midnight, which is what I expected. This morning I woke up sore, again, as I expected. I ran the scheduled 5 miles as a recovery run, given how I felt from the day before.

This afternoon I was WIPED. My kids had two birthday parties to go to today, and seriously, at the 2nd party I napped in the car. Tomorrow I have a 12-miler that I'm not looking forward to. I wish I had a day off! It's all good though.
