Well I'm glad to say I survived the day after the speed workout! Unlike last weeks speed workout, which was much less grueling than yesterday's Yassos, today brought only mild leg stiffness, and that can probably be attributed to the fact that it was my first run in eight days! I'm still experiencing some pains in the hammy, but I think the healing progress is still progressing; a good thing. Hopefully the next few long runs will go well, and then I can pronounce myself well, and just maybe consider stepping it up to four runs a week.

Today was just a short bike ride, but tomorrow will hopefully be some kind of tempo run (I hope I have clean running shorts :-o ... better go check). Oh, and to follow up on the late birthday gift I was to get myself, one of the girls at speed training had a version of the Polar watch I was thinking of buying .... still got to figure out if it's time to step into the world of high tech running, and then whether Polar or Garmin.

Now a new feature: the Leon Tax update! As I may have mentioned before, the Leon Tax is the high cable bill I have since Leon loves his TV. I've been trying to get more out of the tax by cruising the movie channels late at night (which is hurting my sleep time; I really need to stop). Last night's flick - Final Destination 3! You may have seen the first one (not bad, for a blood and gore movie), but I think this one went straight to DVD. Still though, the occasionally dismissal from this world via nail gun is just plain funny! It's one of those movies where you find yourself yelling "LAWD GIRL, DON'T FALL ON THE NAIL GUNNN .... dang, helluva way to go." Oddly entertaining! Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for Star Wars movies, Matrix movies (even the bad ones), and "V for Vendetta" .... hopefully, in the name of sleep, none will be playing tonight. Oh, and if you get a chance to watch "Thank You for Smoking", do so, it's a really good flick that most everyone seems to like once they watch it.
