BORING....

Due to the rain I ended up doing all of my training at the gym. I started with the swim, which felt great. I had a little side stitch and toe cramp at the end but other than that I felt great. I have had the toe cramp before during a swim. Matter of fact during my last Olympic swim it popped up on me. Which was sort of good because I know I can control my body enough to let it release while I chug ahead. I then went to the treadmill to do a 42 min run. MAN THAT WAS BORING!!!! It reminded me of this when I started to blog today. Enjoy...

Other than the fact that it being boring in the gym, it was a good run! I felt some tightness in my left hamstring that I get from time to time and I just stretch it out really good and use "The Stick" at home. "The Stick" if you don't know is this cool little roller that helps to get the acid out of your legs and allows fresh blood to flow. It really seems to work well.

Sorry about the rant yesterday but I am really fed up with politics. Everyone seems to have a side, which is great, but the politicians are just a bunch of losers and we have to vote an which is the worst of the two evils. It usually comes down to republican for me, even though I have a slight lean to the tree hugging democrats from time to time. Either way our country is going down a bad path that unless we get rid of the entire group of losers that are supposed to be representing us as a people and we start over. Here is an interesting article written by Ben Franklin from Wikipedia.
1773 - The Public Advertiser publishes a satrical essay titled Rules By Which A Great Empire May Be Reduced To A Small One, which is written by Benjamin Franklin.

Have a good day and sorry for the politic crap!
