my legs hurrrrt

this post is mostly an excuse for a whinge - but its my blog and i'll do what I want ;)

had a rest day on the program which was good because i have been just a bit tired and feeling crap all weekend. then i walked down the stairs from my house and my quads went (and I quote) "owwww....". so as i had my sneakers on i decided to walk to work and see if that would help at all. didn't really - but was a nice walk anyway (although my hair is all messy now from the wind).

so adding to the lessons of the sutherland to surf (number one being don't go out too hard) number two is - 'muscles need stretching - properly - after races as well as training runs'. (some would call that one intuitive - but i apparently need to learn some of these things the hard way....) :)

PS: The Garmin people say: Your item arrived at the delivery Post Office in AUSTRALIA at 2:36 pm on July 21, 2006. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later. So excited!!!

PPS- It arrived!! it is very cool - although looks mildly ridiculous on my wrist! unfortunately i can't charge it cause i don't have a US power adaptor. will acquire one at lunch time and then charge it this arvo so i can play tonight and use it tomorrow morning. coooollll...
