Thanks for all the replies, and there were many. I went for a 40 minute run last night, ate a good dinner and got enough sleep so I am feeling SO MUCH BETTER! I also treated myself to a new swimsuit. This morning I registered for The Warrior Dash on July 16th in North Bend, WA. It's a 5K with obstacles included. My 1st official race of the year. WOOT! PLUS I'm 30 minutes away from booking my flight to Scotland. Leave in 7 weeks. It's all about putting things into perspective (And getting outside.) I love the suit!!! Nice and bright and funky. Outside is my favorite place 
When I saw the suit colours yesterday I immediately thought of Irn Bru:

Expert 961 Illinois _ Chicago area | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Hi all! Compression socks: I've used them for recovery after long runs. Seems to help my calves. Didn't think about it for shin splints, which I fear I may be developing in my right leg. I hope not. I want to try running in the compression calf sleeves, that way I can wear my favorite socks. Haven't tried them yet, but may now that I'm getting some pain in the shin. I do wear a boot at night on my left foot to keep the plantar facsitis (I know spelling) at bay. Music: Am I the only the only one who does not listen to music when running? I used to, but when I was training for my first IM I stopped. Wanted to get used to running sans music since you can't during tri's and also on long runs the ear phones would really start to bother me. Now I really enjoy running without music. It's trickier on the treadmill, but doable. |

At first it was hard, but now I can't imagine running with music. |

I generally only use music during TM runs, not outside and never during races. I'd miss too much that way - and I've seen a lot of instances where runners didn't hear cars coming on open courses, even with horns blowing. It's just not worth it to me. |

WOW, now how do I get that crazy picture out of my head??? Ha,ha,ha.. but, I can soooo relate!! I'm only 5'3. I think I'm going to get some to wear after runs. |

I am very musically challenged these days. Share your favorite workout songs with me please. I'm too into classic rock! Have you ever used podrunner.com? I love, love, love this site. All of the music is mixed to particular bpm so you can choose how fast or slow to go. The downloads are also free. It's awesome, check it out if you haven't. Thanks! Excited to look at that site and pick some out! |

New user 21 Eastern Iowa | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Was debating going to the gym tonight but decided I would and got in a good swim. Did 600 yards but the first 500 were done in sub 20 minutes for the first time. I mixed it up between pull bouy, hand paddles didnt do more than 25 yard stretches but each time in the pool is feeling better. After the workout stopped by the grocery store to pick up some stuff and lucked out. 2 pound bags of wild caught salmon and cod for $5.99. 13 bags later I was a happy man. |

Looks like I'll have to grab a pair. Now the tricky part, finding some that are affordable!! Thanks for the reviews! I got mine from Amazon (love this site), but I think they were onlly $40, compared to like $55-60.. Awesome, I'll check it out. Will I look like a total tool wearing them to the gym? How about if I just wear one on the problem leg? Yes you will look like a tool if you only wear one. Both... not so bad |

Veteran 240 Angola, IN | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED IceManScott - 2011-01-06 11:23 AM Excellent gang. Thanks. If there are more, keep sending. I love to run and ride outside without noise too. But the trainer is a different story. I need some headbanging stuff to keep the pain in my head and out of my legs Even though I love training, I gotta admit that I think running is the one of the most boring ways to spend time known to mankind. Music gets so boring to me, that I am almost better off without it. www.PodioBooks.com has free downloads of any kind of audio book you can think of. I get so into the books sometimes that I go a little longer than I plan just so I can get to a good stopping point in the book. Makes the time fly by. |

New user 36 Portland, OR | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED You guys are awesome! I haven't hit any great training milestones yet this year, but I signed up for a bike maintenance class that starts on Monday. I just got my bike last March and I've been afraid to adjust things on it for fear of messing the whole thing up. I'm hoping this class gives me a lot more confidence, which will in turn get me out on longer rides. Also a quick note about the compression socks: I'm only 5'3 and the socks fit me just fine. They stop below the knee. |

Off that sugar roller coaster. Biggest accomplishment this week, I've done all my prescribed workouts and cut time in the pool. That can't be bad. |
