It's Getting ...

Well,  the hot spring weather we are so accustomed to here has finally arrived.  And as the temperature rises, the running seems to be getting harder.  My co-worker and struggled some this afternoon - but we kept on going.  We have just one week before our Cotton Row 10K and we figured the run should be somewhat easier than these training runs since the run would be early(ier) in the day (7:00 am) as opposed to afternoon. Also, we should be well rested as opposed to running after work when you're exhausted from the 'hustle and bustle' of the day.  My knee pained me some, but I kept going - not pushing it too hard,  I probably won't run any more this week, but hopefully will try to spend some time in the pool working out.

Miracle Tape for Athletes?

Got an interesting ad in my email for a web special a couple of weeks ago for an offer that decided not to pass up.  Active.com promotes online specials called 'Schwaggle' - similar to LivingSocial and other sites, but targeted to active people.  I missed a few good specials in the past - GPS monitors, etc.  Well, an ad for KT Tape Pro really grabbed my interest.  It's promoted to help provide support and pain relief, including knee pain.  And it comes in bright neon colors - much, much, much prettier than the old fashioned ace bandage (LOL).  I decided to give it a try, only $25 for 2 rolls (regular price $45). 

Hopefully this works as advertised.
