This week last year was pretty busy, with the Clam Festival and some site news. I spent a lot of time talking about health, both from the taking care of yourself and the treating injuries perspective.
- I continued my series on icing with a description of how to ice w/an ice bag. On the topic of injuring yourself, I also shared my thoughts on why you should not use weightlifting gloves or belts when you work out.
- I ran the road race at the Yarmouth Clam Festival this week last year. The race was a little slower than it was in 2005.
- I reviewed the VirtuRace.com website, but they no longer exist in that form and I have not gotten around to reviewing their new website. In fact, it has been quite a while since I even checked out the new site.
- On a health note, I shared why it was important to determine how much you should be sleeping every night.
- I explained the differences between running on a track versus running on a treadmill. Personally, I have trouble going more than a mile or so on a treadmill because I quickly grow bored out of my mind.
- Last year, there was some trouble in the UK with cyclists getting pushed off of their bikes by passing motorists. Two years ago was even worse, when an 88 year old hit some cyclists after ignoring the police who were controlling traffic at the Clam Festival. (Along with a 5 mile run, there is a bike race.) In Germany, a 16 year old killed one of Australia’s top cyclists when she drove into the whole team while they were training.
