On the treadmill

Yesterday, I discovered I'd only brought one pair of shorts with me to Calgary. This led to me wasting severl hours playing Civilization IV rather than running.

Today I bought a most excellent pair of running shorts at Patagonia. At $60 they were most decidedly not-cheap, but they seem lightweight and comfortable. They have pockets too, which I appreciate. On the other hand, I continue to be incapable of opening the packaging of my Polar Heart Rate Monitor. I am officially a complete idiot.

Equipped with new shorts, I looked outside. Raining (albeit only showers) again. Still, the risk of most vigorous rainfall put me off running outside. So, treadmill again. 5km again. 38 minutes 30 seconds. Not my greatest run. But I did excercise my legs. I am getting my running legs back. The back of my right knee remains good. No soreness in my Achilles tendon. All in, I can't complain. My next run will probably be in London. I need to get myself a bluetooth HR strap to pair with my N97.
