No running today

No running today - hurt my right leg below the knee on the outside - i think the technical name for the part is the "knobby thing on the outside".... hurts to run.
Totally bummed out - i managed to get up to 5 miles (slowly) without stopping. The part doesn't seem to have a name in the medical or sports medicine books, although it might be a nerve.
I will be totally bummed if I have to go back to running on alternate days so i don't put a strain on the knobby thing - it doesn't hurt if i'm not running.

Running Playlist #1

Today I ran 5 miles without stopping. Somehow, even though I have my iPod set to shuffle songs, I keep hearing the same ones when I run. According to iTunes, I have 523 songs in my Running 1 Playlist, so I'm not sure why this happens.

Dave Matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies, Brian Wilson, Doors, Ethiopian Chilren's Choir, Black 47, The Wiggles, Jethro Tull, Bob Dylan, Soundrack from Chicago, Ella Fitgerald, Sly & the Family Stone, Everything But The Girl, Rufus Wainwright, Imani Winds, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Lefty Frizzell, Soul Asylum, Cream, Nirvana, Patsy Cline, kd lang, Indigo Girls, Afro Celt Sound System, Tina Turner, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bjork, Elevators, the Posies, Parliament Funkadelic, Beach Boys, Richard Thompson, Talking Heads, Billy Paul.

Running - Broad Street Run 2010

I just realized that I haven't blogged yet in November, even though tons of things have been happening. I've been working on a set of copper wind chimes for the front yard, and was going to post a picture as soon as they went up, but I had a small design problem that I'm re-working.

In the meantime, for my post-biking-season-activity for the 2009 - 2010 winter, I have decided to see if I can 'train' for the Philadelphia Broad Street Run, which is held on May 2, 2010. It's 10 miles down Broad Street, which they clear of cars and traffic. Not sure how they manage it, because cars park in the middle of the street and in the bike lanes in S. Philadelphia. I think of it as "Broad Street - Naked".

So, that's my goal. I started in September, and am now up to 5 miles per run. Two miles with no stopping, a small walk (15 paces), then the last 3 miles without stopping. The best place to run is in the street, in neighborhoods with small hills.
Current time for this little shuffle is 58 minutes.... The max allowed time for the real run is 150 minutes.

Goal for November - run the whole 5 miles without stopping.
