First, the technical glitch - for it must be the most interesting to my readers.
Rourke bought an I-Pod Touch. He said it would be good for using as a timer. He hooked it to his jeans (first clue) and I wondered how he was going to keep time from way down there. He tried putting it his hoodie pocket, but we were both afraid it would fall out, back to the jeans. Each time he had to check the time, he had to hunch over, or unclip it.. which caused him to slow down (pokey boy). He had his earphones in his ears, so he couldn't hear me ask for time check.. and guess what, two of our 90 second runs actually went 180 seconds... thanks Rourke, no wonder my lungs were burning!
There is a solution to this malfunctioning $400 stopwatch - it's called an armband. oh, and that's just a cheap $35 fix to our problem. lol. Kids have too much money!
So, today's workout was supposed to be Walk 5, run 90 seconds, walk 180 seconds, for 20 minutes. We did W5, R90, W180, R90, W180, R90, W180, R180, W180, R180, W180, R90, W180, - total 28 minutes then we did 20 situps and 15 pushups, and cool down stretch of course.
The inside of my right knee is feeling it, and below my left knee is feeling it. The right knee I think is just muscle - it'll get stronger and go away. The left knee however seems to be ligament. I hope that doesn't get worse. I'll keep you posted on it.. and I'll pray God keeps me healthy and getting stronger.
The kid however, doesn't see to have any problems, he never complains.. just keeps plodding along beside me.
Rourke's I-Pod says the weather conditions are 5 Celcius and bright sunshine. There's a $50 gizmo that you can attach to your shoe and it sends information to your I-Pod, it can tell you your distance and speed and calories and... if you have the right NIKE shoes, it can tell you your heart rate and bp and all that jazz. Sounds like George Jetson to me.
Ok, how can you tell if it's muscle or ligament pain? I am starting to have trouble with my knees. HELP! I am going to start taking vegetarian glucoasamine and MSM to help it. Trying to avoid the doc!
