A Masterful day...

Last night Alice and I just hung around the home bar and took it easy. Jamie Grant ended up coming over for a few beers. About 6 weeks ago he finished Ironman New Zealand and is currently having problems training. It turns out that his family came down with pneumonia and he took a drug for it. Later he found out that there is a class action suit on this drug because it causes calf and Achilles problems which he now has. When he runs or cycles everything tightens up and he can't run and needs to take time for it to heal and then the process repeats its self. If that happened to me I'd go nuts, I need to train to keep mentally healthy.

I noticed the ball of my left foot feels bruised and I was looking on the net as to what it may be. Every thing I read was that I should look at my shoes and put some additional padding. I think I may change my shoes when I go to purchase a new pair. I've been using Asics for years and this new model 2140 felt different and for some reason I started to get blisters. Obviously something has changed from last years model 2130 to this years model.

Today I didn't do any training. I was going to swim but decided not to. We just did a little grocery shopping and sat down at the home bar in the afternoon and watched the Masters. We didn't leave until around 2 am. Reid was trying to tire himself out all day long because he wanted to go to bed and fall asleep right away. Tomorrow the Easter bunny is coming and every year leaves a basket of chocolate for him and Alyssa. He prepared a little snack for the Easter bunny and it was the grossest sandwich you can imagine with things like barbecue sauce, raw eggs, egg shells, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, etc. I guess he thinks that I'm the Easter bunny and was preparing a nice meal for me.
