Roller 2

Rollerbladed for almost 2 hrs. Went all the way to the Richmond Oval, via the new Skytrain Bridge, No. 3 Rd., and Alderbridge Way. Would have been easier if the recreational path that follows River Rd. and the dyke was finished, but sections of it are still not paved. Signs say it'll be done in September or so.

I have to rotate my wheels real soon.

New Activity

Ankle is still kind of busted-- going through the range of motion at a particular angle and I get a sharp pain.

But!

I put on rollerblades and I skated for an hour. Feels a lot more strenuous than running, and methinks it's lower impact.

Well, it's only a summer activity, but hey. At least I can still exercise even with a busted ankle.

Injury, revisited

Didn't see a small rock in my path on the gravel field. I ended up landing on the outside edge of my foot and sorta twisted my ankle. It's a little swollen. At least I can still walk...

Goddammit. Maybe I should take up swimming instead.

19th Run

Wow, I really can't count my laps. I vocally state the lap I'm on when I exhale now. But on the 5th lap I'm pretty sure I neglected to change the chant "lap 4 ... lap 4 ... lap 4" to "lap 5...". It might have happened a second time.

Well I hope that's why my run's time is a lot longer than usual.

  • 23'53"
  • ? laps
  • ? km
  • ? km/h
  • 60 m sprint at the end.

18th Run (lapse)

Ugh.

I wish Blogger would have a calendar view so I could see all the holes in the days where I fell off the wagon and chose to be a lazy moping cesspool.

Last run was June 1st. Holy christ it's the 22nd.

Anyway.

  • 22' 34"
  • 11 or 12 laps of the field. I lost count.
  • abbreviated the stretching/warm up/cool down routine. I don't want my 20 min. run to be an ordeal of a whole hour.
  • 60 m dash at the end.
Haven't done push ups or sit ups either.

I will get back on the wagon.
