Ice Ice Baby

As part of my regular post workout routine I have been icing my bad knee.  I have used a variety of items to get the job done but this weekend I finally broke down and bought an ice pack.  I went all the way and picked up the Moji One at Fleet Feet Sports.

I have used it a couple times so far and it definitely makes a big difference.  I can leave it in the freezer and grab it when I get back from working out.  Also, because I can wrap it on I don't have to be confined to the couch during my icing time.  I'm able to accomplish things around the apartment while still icing my knee.  AND I don't have to worry about spilling ice everywhere!  I'm definitely glad I took the plunge and purchased this item.

Another key item in my running arsenal is my Road ID.  I purchased it while I was training for NWM 13.1 after much persuasion from my mother.  Anyone who runs alone on the road should invest in one of these items.  I often run without my phone or ID so this allows for a bit of peace of mind.  I got the Wrist ID Slim in Pink (of course) and it doesn't get in the way while running.  The price is also extremely reasonable!  I went with the original version as opposed to the interactive version.  I don't know about you but if I'm lying on the side of the road I want the person to be able to know right away who to call.

Side note: I was really proud of my run from tonight.  I was able to finish two miles in under 26 minutes so I'm slowly getting my mile times down.  YAY!!!  I need to crack the 3 hour mark for SF Half Marathon and I'm shooting for 2:30.
