April 21
At work today... I really need to learn to get to bed on time. Kinda tired today. Oh well, the price you pay for being a nice guy. 
I may be able to get a swim on tonight... it all depends on how long #1 son has to work tonight. Weather isn't that great today, so the golf course probably will shut the kitchen early, which means I'll be able to pick him up and still get time to swim.

I needed to do a run... I have a 10k race in a couple weeks and I want to be in great shape for that. So I did more then my plan suggested. This was a treadmill run because I don't want to be sick either... it's +4*C, raining, and a 45km/h wind... just not a very healthy weather to run in.
I did 10 min slow warm up first 5 min @ 5mph, second 5 min @ 5.5mph. The next 40 min was run at 6-6.5 mph. Mostly 6.5 mph. The last 1 min of I ran at 8.0mph. The last ten minutes was at 5-5.5 mph again. It was a good hard run... very sweaty.

- Walking
- 1h 00m
We'll call it walking. It wasn't all that taxing... lots of loose rock and boulders and such to walk over/through/around... but it's not totally wild. This IS the middle of civilization after all. This is hiking in the gorge in Elora. Lovely day with my lovely wife and our friend who is going through a separation/divorce. Glad we could give her a distraction and some much needed time away.
Not sure what I'll do today... still not up to doing any riding. Every day it gets a little better, but it's still pretty raw. We have a friend coming over this afternoon... and we are hoping to go hiking at the Elora Gorge... but I may have to abandon that and just sit enjoying the scenery while the ladies do the walking.

Forgot to start the HRM until 1 km into the run. I figure it was 6 min. I ran the 9km in 52 min. The last 1 km very slowly for a cool down. I think it was 7 or 8 min. Negative split the middle 8k. Good morning... not sunny but not cold either. +10 with a 15 km/h NW wind.

POst run yoga stretching.
The yoga last night makes me stiff... in a good way... I likey... I must continue this.
I had a better sleep last night... not so painful. I will attempt a run this morning... crossing my fingers that I don't irritate it any more.

I did the relaxation set from the BT Video. Yoga Warrior for Triathletes. Then Sunrise Salutation with Caron Shepley and the Lower Body work from her DVD... Power Yoga for Triathletes. Pretty good stuff.... I think I should have been doing this all winter. I learned that I'm actually pretty bendy... even with a burning crotch. ;) LOL
Nope... not happening today either... the nicest day of the year and I'm stuck riding in a car, when I should be commuting on my bike. This SUX... but better to clear it up for good rather then letting it get worse. Makes it rather difficult to sleep whenever you move you feel like somebody took a blow torch to your groin... just sayin'... the "sleep" was hours in bed... wasn't hours sleeping. 
For inquiring minds... it feels like I'm being branded whenever I take a step... worse when I'm riding. This is what happens when a skin irritation gets infected. So... get those little things looked at immediately.. don't let them get worse.

Processing your request, please wait...
As you can probably tell... I didn't swim last night. I had every intention too... #1 son's shift was called off due to poor attendance at the club (cold, wet, windy conditions... no one showed up... I know it's early in the season... but the golfers these days are wimps... I would have played in that in my golfing days ;) ). This meant I had plenty of time to swim. However, my "issue" is still not 100%... and not wanting things to get worse again, I decided to let it slide for a couple more days. I want this settled once and for all.
