Name label

I just realized that both of my polar heart rate monitor straps have places to write my name. Do people leave these around often enough that one might get confused as to whose is whose?
I suppose in a large training and everyone goes and undresses at the same time and just throws everything everywhere it might be handy.
But shoes! Shoes should have a place for your name! Shoes are expensive and people steal shoes. $200 shoes could have $400 orthotics in them. Those are a bit too much moneys to be getting "lost" without your name. Never mind the $15 special Velcro inside shoes that HAVE to be labelled starting  in preschool.

Oh well. I'm not marking mine up with sharpie any time soon!

Yesterday, I, ran, 18.75 km!!!! My average pace was around 7:10/km and I am thrilled with that!!! I am into 2 weeks of much easier going and then it is time for my big day.
Last might I ordered a Garmin Forerunner 610 and I soooo hope it arrives before my big day. I realized that because I will be across the border I won't be running my phone data without paying major roaming fees, so no GPS! I'd be lost! I'd have no clue my speed...... Sooooo present to me, new watch! Now if anyone reads this please send your "deliver before the 29th" vibes my way.

Thank you.

On the injury front:
Shoulder impingement from backpacking. On recovery, my 18k was good and my arm did not hang at my side like a dead animal as it had earlier in the week.
Shin splints....buggers are back with a vengeance. I bought a stick, I will roll them away.
Foot hurts, apparently that is same tendon as shin splints.... Roll roll roll.
Knee pes anserine, bursitis, tendonitis, whatever, generally ok. Little sore today but I may have been having too much fun with the stick, or it waited until this afternoon after Chiro to flare up from yesterday's run. Either way it actually isn't toooo bad.
I think that is all.
O... My knees crack and crunch lately. No pain, but noisy...... I'm choosing to not think too much about it yet.

This week two 6km, one 8km, then the weekend another two 6km..... Then more taper. My gold medal finish would be under 2:30. Silver under 3. Bronze just finishing.  I get 4 hours to finish.
(Ok they are all gold, and I will be thrilled to just finish, but people like me always have secondary goals!)
This week is also going to end up being mostly treadmill. Booooooo
