"Invictus" comes from my college class ring and this poem:
"Invictus"
By William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. Favorite Blogs: |

I logged this as "slow miles" but nothing with Jack is ever slow! We ran 7.25-7.3 miles in about 51 minutes (not too shabby for me). After that, I lifted arms and abs (same as last Monday, more weight) and did a couple routes today (read: two 5.7, two 5.8, attempt at a 5.9). Hoping for my energy back tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| 6 mile run in SHORTS and a T-shirt (like Monday) along the C&O Canal. So peaceful...I love the area around Old Anglers. Random sciatica acting up again...piriformis? Lifted legs and abs. | | Add Comment |

4 miles in the morning. It's been a while since my morning workouts...love them! Stretched my piriformis since it was causing me some pain. :-( Ran 1/2 mi warm-up. 1 mile quick (5:50-6:50...faster every 200m). Ran 1/2 mi cool-down. Lifted chest and abs.

I didn't run today because my car died. I biked to and from work today, which was not pleasant in the morning because it was so cold. I taught my body sculpting class in the evening, which was okay, and then I biked back home. It was about 26-30 miles total, so it wasn't much. I'm completely stressed out with everything in my life right now. I'm 24 years old; I shouldn't be stressed. I almost backed out on the group ski trip because I feel I'm falling back into a cycle of depression. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed and cry all weekend. Instead, I climbed out of the shower, made it to the bedroom floor, and cried on the floor, wrapped up in my towel. After about 45 minutes of that, I finally found the energy to put on some pajamas, call a friend, and go to bed. | | Add Comment |

I took the day off work to bring my car into the shop. I ran 6-7 miles today, which was a bread run (my fatty, delicious bread) and some ab work. It was very pretty today--59 degrees. I even opened the house to let the air circulate a little better. Fresh air is great. Headed out for the ski trip tonight. I'm still feeling not so great. | | Add Comment |

| No run. Snow was everywhere, and I was sliding everywhere. I decided to ski a little today. | | Add Comment |
