Personal:

Running is my first love, but I also enjoy rock climbing, lifting, biking, and swimming.

"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.

Quick workout during lunch.

4 miles on the treadmill (28:44) -- started off at 7:40 pace, picked it up to a 6:30 pace, ran a little at just under 6:00 pace to hit the average pace of 7:11 per mile. Felt a little difficult running inside (super hot very quickly, coughing near the end). I followed it with abs, back, and biceps.

I've been watching a lot of Dr. Who with my boyfriend via Netflix lately. Love it. Stayed up until 2AM watching a few episodes.
