Notes from the Last Week, etc.

I had a pretty good week, except for the sore lower back. Had a physical therapy session Monday and Friday. The Therapist does a really good job and my back always feels better when she finishes, but it doesn't take long for it to start hurting again.

I ran on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with no cross training this week, I did walk on Sunday, but I don't really count that as cross training.

Ran 2 good 6 milers at Stone Mountain on the road, then I did a 6.2 mile trail run.

I sent my defective Nike+ Sportband back to Nike for a refund, and ordered a new one from Road Runner Sports for $11.00 less. I should be receiving the new Nike+ Sportband on Wednesday, the 7th. We'll see if it works better than the original one I bought.

I also have a Polar S625X that needed a battery replacement. So believing the Polar Propaganda I sent it to them to get the battery replaced knowing that they test to make sure that the watch is water proof after they change the battery. Well, of course when I got the watch back with the new battery and went to the pool to swim, guess what, my watch filled up with water. I sent Polar an e-mail and asked them what now and they said to send the S625X to their headquarters in New York for repair or replacement. I sent it to them but I haven't heard back from them yet. If they repair or replace it at no charge I will be happy. If they try to charge me for something that they advertise as the reason the watch should have been sent to them to have the battery replaced, I will be very unhappy.

I'll let you know the results of the Polar S625X repair/replacement story in the future.
