My Doc wants to be checking my cholesterol, blood sugar, PSA, etc. twice a year now. They have all been excellent the last few times but he just thinks we should look at them twice a year instead of once a year. Actually, he just wants to drum up business and this is the way they do it. I haven't gotten a report yet but suppose I will get a letter in the mail one day this week.
Well, that hill you run up at work there is quite a hill and I think I would walk back down it, too.
Ever heard of Chi Running? Gary's PT guy is telling him that's what he needs to do if he wants to run again. Google it. I did and have watched some videos on utube about it. Seems to me like it's mostly being aware of your posture more than anything. I guess I don't really understand it yet though.
The iPod and nike+ sensor worked fine Saturday morning and this morning. However, this morning iTunes "couldn't connect to nike+ server" to send the workout so I had to send it manually. Have no clue what that's about. So, it goes on.
I have been having a little problem in my right leg for a while. Feel like there is a pulled muscle in there above the knee. This morning Angie suggested that maybe it's from always running against the traffic. Said her PT lady advised her to run with the traffic half way so that the right leg isn't always on the "high" side. You know, roads are built to slope from the center to the side so rain will run off. Not much but just enough. And if you're always running the same way (either with or against traffic) one leg or the other is always on the high side of the slope. Makes some sense to me so tomorrow I run with traffic! Not much traffic out here but I'm going to try it and see.
I think that's all. At least it's all I can remember!

Well, that might be all you remember, but it's a good plenty!
OK, very interesting about running with traffic. I can really see the point of that. It may be the case, I guess. I'd give it a try. We don't really have ditches here. Our roads just are not built the same - I don't think! I'll look when I'm out and pay attention.
You know, I was just wondering if I'm at a point were I should be having a yearly checkup. Guess I didn't realize they'd want to do a twice yearly checkup too! Makes sense - get that insurance while it's good!
I have heard of Chi Running, but I've not payed too much attention to it. I'll take another look. Do you have a teacher in your area? Or does Gary? Or is this the kind of thing we read about and teach ourselves?
I have no clue if there is a Chi teacher around here. Never heard of it until the other day when Gary mentioned it.
