I still feel a bit off today - mostly it seems like I am a bit achey and sore, like in the connective tissue - and that mostly in my gimp foot tendons. Nonetheless, the weather was nice, so I had to take advantage. I did an easy 11 miles out to Boulder and back from the office. There was a slight headwind out, and hills back, so it was nearly even on the splits (near 7:30 m/mile).


I got my Skull Candy ear buds today. They are great. I have long had the classic IPOD buds falling out of my ears and so I have reverted to hats, head warmers, t-shirt sleeves, etc to get buds that would stay in. After I read about these on a local tri guy's blog, I was sold. They actually perform better than the regular buds in terms of sound. Since they are in my ears better, I don't have to crank up some of the softer dubbed podcasts to hear the interviews over traffic.
I will look to do something hard tomorrow, and then come back for the long run on Thursday. I am having dental work done Thursday afternoon and so I am doubtful that I will get a ton of great work done in the weekend when my jaw is aching.

I tried the skull candy ear buds in a marathon once and was pushing them back in the whole time. I am still on the look out for some that work for me.
