Rants Of A Lazy Mexican

I still hate jogging

I went to sleep at around midnight and for some reason I woke up around 2am, and I was having such a nice sleep, go figure.  After looking around in the int3rW3bz I realized that I wouldn’t go back to sleep no matter what.  I stayed up reading and browsing the net until roughly 7:45am

I decided that sitting around wouldn’t do anything for me, I might as well go outside and try to do something.  I found my weighted vest and I went for a walk, which rapidly turn into jogging, I cannot stand doing things at that slow pace when I haven’t had enough sleep.  I realized something today, I still hate jogging, however I hate it even more when I have an extra 25 pounds riding on my back, yes the vest weight roughly 21 pounds and I was carrying some water as well. 

On the bright side of things, I did manage to find my foot pod for my polar s625x! I forgot to calibrate it, but it is accurate enough nonetheless.  I also managed to get a replacement weighted vest, mine had a broken latch-the latch helped to strap the vest on and kept the weight evenly distributed- from Walmartssss.  I’d be the first one to tell you that I hate Walmartsss and I never thought that writting an email to complain-in a very nice manner- about a product bought less than a year ago would actually get a reply.  I sent the email on a thursday and by sunday morning I got a phone call from my local walmartsss and I was told to come in and exchange the item.  I was pleasantly surprised. 

Since my email to walmartss worked so well, I have since then decided to write Polar and request that they replace my watch wristband for free.  The little rubber piece-the guy at the shop called it the “keeper”- split in half sometime last year.  I have no problem buying a new one, however I dont believe that after shelling out something in the neighborhood over $400 for it that any part of that unit should fail that quickly.  I am now patiently waiting for a reply, I don’t really expect one but we’ll see. 

 

I cannot wait to get off work, if the weather is kind I might go for a bike ride.  I wonder how much I’d hate the vest if I wear it while riding a bike.  I miss Katie, she was my biking buddy, too bad she moved to Miami.
