Just Glad to Finish

last night i did the weight training scheduled. like before, very elementary stuff using mainly body weight. however, i did use some actual weights for a few things and a weight vest for a few more things, just to up the output a little.

i got up early this morning to do my friday run because i knew i would be on call tonight and probably wouldn't get to run. it was less than 12 hours after my work-out, which does include a pretty good leg work-out. i could sure tell it too. my calves and thighs were pretty tired and i was just glad to make it 3 miles. i really had to push to keep even a slow pace. i know it hurts a little more now, but i know it will make it that much easier when the races do come up. here are my splits for this run:

.5= 4.57 144
1.0= 10.01 5.03 161
1.5= 15.11 5.10 164
2.0= 20.43 5.32 164
2.5= 26.01 5.17 161
3.0= 31.40 5.39 164

once again i think my gps may have lost signal for a bit. this morning, everything was going well until mile 2 when i had to run further than i normally do, and to finish i had to run pretty far past my starting point, which does not typically happen. who knows, don't guess it really matters.

this afternoon, at work, i was sitting and talking and somehow turned my head the wrong way and now i can barely turn my neck at all. i am really in pain to move at all.

the thought of the day: when your neck and shoulder hurt, typing on a lap top is not extremely comfortable. however, boats are very safe,and comfortable in a harbor, but if a boat stayed in the harbor, no one would get to experience the joy it could possibly bring. this is extrapolated from a quote i read the other day. i think the author's quote was a little different and the point was a little different too. however, i use part of her quote to make my point, safety is not truly living.
