Running
The good
My new Rides!
The bad
The local 5k race I signed up for got cancelled!
The good
I took my Rides out for a....(wait for it)... ride! At least I amuse myself. Inside the Rides are these:
I'm not sure if they made a difference, but I saw Currexxoles on a blog, did some research and thought, "Hmmm." Then I bought them. They sure made for a comfortable...oh, nevermind.
I ran 10 miles this morning at a new personal best of 10:09 pace. I'm not sure I could have maintained it for 3.1 more miles, but I'm pretty sure I could have beat a 10:39, my previous best. I guess all of those aerobic miles in preparation for the race paid off in their own way. Still, I need to sign-up for a race. All I have is the Mother's day race I did last year, and I never even got a time for that. I want to run the San Jose Rock and Roll half marathon, but I'm not sure I am ready for something that big.
My miles for this week:
|
Less then 50, but more than I thought due to the 10 mile jaunt instead of 3.1 miles.

The bad
My Jaybirds died!
I am very sad. They were expensive. I haven't had them that long. I bought:
It turns any earbuds into a bluetooth device and it was relatively cheap. The earbuds I bought for it died the second day I used them, so I picked up:
They are Yurbuds and I saw them on a blog where they got a good review. I hope they last. Mine are orange and don't feel like they are going to fall out - a real problem for me. Most earbuds I get, even with the largest adapter start falling out. These are guaranteed not to fall out.
The Tasty
Culatello anyone?
It is quite tasty. I had a plate of this plus Lardo, some bread and Swiss cheese.
Time for some cured salmon:
It's under the brick with a lot of sugar, salt, tumeric, lemon zest, fennel, and white pepper. I've decided not to smoke this one. I will probably use it to flavor my salad lunch, slice thinly over rice and maybe even have on a bagel with cream cheese and capers.
That salmon sounds lovely. Tumeric? Yum.
ReplyDeleteI'm not thrilled with any sort of bluetooth devices. I worry they will cause brain tumors. Perhaps I'm paranoid. My husband uses one for phone and to listen to music when he rides his bike. I'm happier with a wired headphone, so the waves aren't so close to my head.
