Loose Ends
Today is my last full day in Boston before the summer move to DC. Along with tying up the loose ends in the rest of my life, I thought I would tie up some blogging items:
A few people have asked what a swimming pull buoy is. It is a flotation device you hold between your upper legs so that A) you don’t kick when you swim and B) your lower body stays afloat. It lets you work out just your upper body. It’s great for when you have a lower body injury or just want to rest your lower body. Most pools have them off to the side of the swimming area. Mine cost about $9.50. There are multiple kinds. The one I have is the one at the bottom of the webpage.
Last night I scrubbed my toilet and then flushed my favorite CD. I flushed it twice, once with each side up. It still skips. The good news is my toilet is sparkling.
The ice pack that stays cold for 8 hours was purchased at CVS and is the Cryo-Max Reusable 8 Hour Cold Pack. It really does stay cold for 8 hours. I can bring it to school, work out at lunch, and then ice. Plus, the cold pack is very flexible and molds to you.
In workout news, I ran for 25 minutes (T). It was still hard to run (fitness wise) but I loved it. Depending on how the packing goes I might go to the gym one last time later today to lift and do some balance exercise and maybe some wall squats. Those are good for the knee and easier to do at the gym b/c you can do them leaning on a mirror instead of a wall (easier to slide). However, that all depends on the packing and other events of the day. Also, I was super trendy runner today. I am getting a sports bra rash (I think from the one I was wearing yesterday) and was so uncomfortable after I put today's sports bra on that I had to take it off. I then put on a tight tank top (see, you should save all those clothes you haven't worn in years and think you just might wear again someday so can't bear to part with), then my sports bra, then my regular tank top running shirt. So from the outside, it looked like I was doing the multi-colored layering thing. Oh so trendy! But it worked-chafe free running.

And you are still blogging from DC right?

Yeah I still don't get the flushing thing either too well. Let me know when you make it to DC! I'm here for another two weeks before I go on vacation and hopefully we can meet before then!

It's too bad that doesn't work (re: the CD). Maybe it works if the disc is just dirty but not scratched.
Have a great time in DC!
