I am a guinea pig!

Think these posts will be short and sweet until I get my own computer, it is too hard to get a go on the one at home.

Today is my rest day, I am feeling fresher this week so hopefully it will be a good one.

I volunteered for a Study today. I have never done anything like that before and I thought it would be interesting, it will be cool to contribute to the research but I may also learn something about myself as well. The details are in the latest Runners World or on www.ausrun.com.au, I tried posting the proper link but it won't work.

One of the screening questions was "are you afraid of having blood samples taken?", NO, one of the other questions should have been "Do you hate running on treadmills?", but I only have to do that for 6 minutes so I should cope :-)

It is sponsored by Asics and they will be using some of the results to assist them with shoe design for women.

I'll keep you posted, I have to track my "cycles" for 2 months before the testing is done as they want to look at the effects of hormonal fluctuations on training and performance (and boy do I ever fluctuate!!)
