"The stick"ed my legs this morning after that long run. Some parts are very tense, but not necessarly because of last night. That hurt a lot.

Somebody I know bought himself a Christmas present. :) It has a bracelet. Gives you time... and distance... and HR... and speed... AND is the ugliest piece of technology EVER!!!

I'm being a bit heavy these days. Eating crap AND not doing anything for a month had a bigger impact than I planned. At least 5 pounds! Doh. In other news, I won a free ticket to meet the cardiologist soon (linked with the study I'm in). I think he wants to chit-chat with me sonner than later after hearing about the BP highscores I registered, even before starting the Vo2 test. Re-Doh! On the plus side, they'll introduce me with a great nutritionist in the next weeks, so that's good. I know lots of people laugh at me when I say I want to lose a few pounds BUT I know i can drop a few without losing muscle. I just have to eat better and less crap. We'll see. Goal by next season = 170.

Run
  • 1h 44m
  • 17.00 kms
  • 06m 07s /KM

Guesstimate on the distance. A bit long for my tasting but there was a little change in plans.
First hour = Z1 and then stopped for 5-10minutes to talk and leave one of the teammates home and then head back to the University.
3 x ( 10 x 15 sec @ 100% r=15sec) R=3 min ez.
Iced knees.

Meeting finished late last night, as in past 11. I don't think a lot of positive things got out of it but at least it's a start. After talking about all sorts of things, something I can do in the near future is to bring more newbies into the club's "core" with leadership and being friendly. When I joined the club 3 years ago, people were meeting for a run or swim and nobody was greeting each other and seemed self-absorbed. Now, it's getting a lot more friendlier and there's a team spirit that is starting to grow since last year. I'll try to work on that and make it grow in collaboration of a few of the other old schmocks.

The future of the club is quite uncertain and we'll lose our coach, again, at the end of the next season.

Guesstimate. Ran with the club. Forgot my HR strap AND to start my watch... Everything was fine. No real pain or discomfort for once. :)

Does a scotch while cooking count as a recovery drink?

Ugh... as planned, I'm a grumpy son of a ...bozo this morning. 4 hours of sleep. Playing hockey that late sucks!
