Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Apparently I don’t charge enough on my credit card because I got a letter from Bank of America yesterday saying they were cutting the credit limit on one of my cards by half after reviewing my past credit balance history. Including my other credit card, my effective credit limit is now down about 1/3 from where it was before.
And to further wring money out of their customers in the form of fees, another letter came in today to tell me the fees from cash advances and balance transfers and fees for international transactions were going up as well.
I’m going to be at the Terrace Theater‘s new Hippodrome (the former Charleston IMAX theater) on May 7 for the new Star Trek movie.
Starts at 7PM. See you there.
Doing the i5k seems to have reignited the running bug in me. I’m still not to the point where I can run as long or as fast as my brain thinks I can. There’s still much conditioning and muscle strengthening work that I need to do before my actual physical performance meets what my brain wants to do.
Went out for the first post-i5k run this morning. Started off feeling pretty good heading out at a pretty comfortable 7:00/km pace, but on the way back my left leg started giving me problems, so I finished with a brisk walk back home.
Might be time to re-evaluate the type of running shoe I pick.
Temp: 17°C
Distance: 2.4 km/1.5 miles
Time: ~30 min
Pace: ~15:00
Outside of high school track meets, today’s i5k was only the second road race I’ve ever run in, and the first one in probably 20 years or so.
With only about 3 weeks of intermittent training, I actually surprised myself and ran a better time than I expected, although it would have been better had my knee and ankle not started bothering me about half way through the race. Crossed the line in 36:21, not the best I’ve ever done, but something I’m quite happy with.
My fellow Lowcountry Blogger team mates minus Nick Tompkins, who had to head out after the race for a kickball game.
