Should have run after work on Tuesday. I opted not to run since I had run for the first time on Sunday and wanted to be conservative. Yesterday, it rained (when I wanted to run). I didn't want to run in rain and cold. I remember the only time I ran in rain -- it was days before the Nissan 10 miler in mid-July and that's when I heard some "cracking" in my left knee. Then, I couldn't go up stairs without pain for the next week :-(
Speaking of the left knee, I got word that my custom orthodics have arrived this morning. I have an appointment with the sports medicine doctor for Wednesday, December 5th when he will fit the orthodics into my running shoes. Should I bring a camera? Good news that the $450 custom orthodics will be paid in full by my work insurance (minus a $25 deductible) :-) If only my work insurance would cover my vet bills ;-)
Looking forward to my 2nd run this Sunday. I will probably make it 2:1 (repeat X5) again. I took the public transit to work today and read a chapter of John Stanton's Running: Start to Finish. I read it in the spring and it's always great to re-read it.
Oh...put in an on-line order with Chapters for a few books. Had to get the order to $39.00 for free shipping in addition to a $5 off coupon (also got a little book on Chicken Soup for the Soul for Dog Lover's Soul). The good news is any book can be returned to a Chapters store within a month for a full refund -- thus, no risk if the book is not what is expected.
