New Year's Resolutions

Posted by Steve Carton Jan 6, 2009

Here are my resolutions for 2009.

Stay Injury Free.

Run 4 or more Marathons, and hopefully in some new places. I ran 4 in 08. I'm currently considering the Sarasota Marathon in February, B&A Trail in March, perhaps Flying Pig in May (or maybe Frederick again), Harrisburg or Philly or Steamtown or Rehoboth (again) in the fall. So lots of possibles that are all local. I'm signed up for the B&A, but that's it so far.

Lose another 20 pounds. I'd like to get to 190 and stay there.

Be nicer to others, especially those less well off than I am. And perhaps that should be first or second.

Happy New Year!

And Yet More on SportShield

Posted by Steve Carton Jan 6, 2009

Happy New Year Everyone. I thought I would start off on the wrong foot - by whining!

I've been carrying the rollon version of SportShield (which I wrote about previously) in my running gym-bag but the bottle got knocked sideways; I don't know when. When I opened the bag to get my watch and other running kit out the other day, everything was coated in SportShield. Not only was it a pain to clean up, it was a total waste of the product.

It works well (though I can't say if it is any better than BodyGlide), but if they can't find a way to seal the bottle more effectively, I won't buy it again.
