I took a couple days off from my jogging/running because my shins were really hurting me (even to go up stairs.. haha oh dear),. But this morning after doing a few simple stretches I headed back out. I am noticing that it's getting easier, and Mollie is happier. After running next to the sidewalk, my shins weren't nearly as sore this morning. whew!
Tonight I found this pretty cool site throught prevention.com, that lets me map my morning runs with the dog. It's really neat, and extrememly in depth. From recording your resting heartrate in your profile settings, to calculating when your shoes are too old and could cause injury. Here is my profile,

and if you click on the links to my runs you can view them in google earth. Don't be tooo impressed, they are marathons, just 4kms on average. "something new" is one i'm going to try tomorrow morning, i'm pretty excited. I hope Mollie is up for it, we'll have to leave early so it isn't too hot out. I'm going to try to use mom's arm band for my ipod, I am sick of carrying it around when I run, I'm always worried I'll drop it.
Also, Sonny and Pika now have Catbook, so you can add them as your friends. You view it through my profile, and "view Mick's Cats" Pretty funny... i hope dogbook comes out soon!
Our house is now equipt with a 8400btu air conditioner for the upstairs... yay :) It is supposed to be quite hot out tomorrow, so I think it will get used sooner than expected!

there is a dogbook already! My coworker Amy has her mini dachshund, Twiggy, on it already. The only problem is that you can't make dogs and cats friends yet.
Hey Mick,
It has been a while - but I decided to get caught up on your life by reading your blog. mapmyrun.com is pretty sweet, but if you buy a cool little sensor for your ipod that will go in your shoe, you can use this sweet Nike / apple website to track your runs. Like when you run, when you walk, warm ups, cool downs, etc. all in a graph. It will also talk to you and tell you how far you have gone. I LOVE IT!
Hope all is well in NS!
