Triathlon Gift Buying
I'm bored. To combat my boredome I made a list of all of the states and countries I have run in. (I stole the idea from ShoreTurtle.) Living in the DC metro area set me up nicely for three states (including DC). I should really hit up some more New England states while I am up here. I run everywhere I go so it was a nice trip down memory lane. Though every so often I think of a new state or country I have been to and I get excited that I can add it to the list-but then I realize, “Oh wait, I was injured then.” The list of states I have been to but have been too injured to run in isn’t too short either!
I biked around this morning to do some errands. I bought my dad his b-day present which is triathlon themed. I don’t want to give it away in case he is reading this, but it is, if not “essential” then at least “standard” equipment for all triathlons. It is something he would never buy himself even though he has mentioned he wants to get more into this particular tri sport. I think he just needs a little push-and that extra push is in the mail! (I also bought some workout clothes for myself. Yes, I am the worst gift buyer EVER. That is horrible!!)
I went to the gym and lifted upper body. I benched more this week. 55lbs. My quad and knee don’t feel great. I always seem to all fall apart at once. Maybe I bruised my knee when I fell? I have no idea what is going on. I think I need to actually rest on these next two rest days so there will be no more biking. I HATE resting. I did some test jogging up and down the gym (I am sure the other people trying to get a workout in loved someone running by the weights). I think the calf is okay. We shall see on Tuesday. I have been icing the knee and quad.

Just catching up on the blogging. I hope the calf is feeling better! Sounds like you have a plan to get back at it this week. If your calf doesn't start to behave...I would start to consider naming it...as that is the next step... :) Hope you have/had a great Sunday!
