Or is that swimming splits? Or shin splints? Don’t worry, gentle reader, for we shall talk about all of that AND MORE!!!<\/p>\n
So to start off, I think I have acquired shin splints<\/a>. Seems to be caused by some combination of crappy quality of shoes, old (worn down) shoes, and poor running technique. All of which I have to a high degree. I plan to go down to FleetFeet<\/a> to get some good shoes. I was actually planning on going down today but was stopped by the White Death<\/a> (up to 15 inches possible by tomorrow afternoon!!)<\/p>\n Anyway so as not to run, I have been swimming lately. Which is probably good since my swimming skills are… not so much. But I’ve been getting better.<\/p>\n As you can see from my exercise log<\/a> (available as a link over to the right), my recent swims:<\/p>\n 1\/7\/2008 – 200 yards in 7 minutes (0.97 mph) You’ll notice that there are only minute times. There is a clock at the Y, but it’s hard for me to see the seconds as I’m swimming. It is our time to do our recycle challenge<\/a> at work again. So I was down there this morning with some various coworkers and we were talking about that. And it was commented that when you’re swimming so slowly, the seconds don’t really matter. (Zing!) There was general merriment and revelry concerning my swimming prowess (or lack thereof). One lady who is apparently a swimmer was mentioning that her 400 meter swim time was like 4:21 (compared to my 13:50 last time<\/a>). <\/p>\n I of course then challenged her to a fight. Or rather a triathlon. She nancied up so I must be the winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or is that swimming splits? Or shin splints?
