"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: |

| Easy out and back near the gym, except for 1-2 miles of it. I was catching up to this guy, and he stepped aside to let me pass, but then he hung on my tails! I felt like I had to keep up the "passing pace" until either he passed me, gave up, or we split paths. Finally, he turned right and said, "Good pace!" I shouted back, "You too!" A lonely run wasn't so lonely! After that, I did P90X abs and push-ups with Keith and Darren. (150 total push-ups and 11-13 different ab exercises) I warmed up on a few easy boulder problems, did a little traversing, and did a few harder boulder problems (meaning V1 for me). I couldn't seem to get the finish on one V1 and I couldn't get the middle move on another V1. After that, I top roped with Jack and Steph. 5.9, 5.9 attempt (finished on another 5.9), 5.8 (one that I really like), 5.8, 5.9 (short fun one, so I did it three times...I liked the holds)

| No mileage day. Dynamic warm-up followed by the "9 basic movements" -- PVC pipe, light bar, oly bar. - Air squat, front squat, overhead squat - Press, push press, push jerk - Deadlift, sumo deadlift high pull, medicine ball clean No one could top rope with me, so I did some traversing then bouldering. I did a few easy problems, worked on a V1 I saw the other day (still couldn't get it), and did a few V0's. I did my first "hanging" bouldering problem! It was on the 45 degree wall (just a V0, but I was still stoked)! I'm hoping to get some top roping in on some 5.9's soon.

10 miles at a 7:40/mile pace (7:45/mile on the way out, a little faster on the return trip). It felt comfortable, easy. During the last mile I started to cough a bit (allergies?).
Beautiful sunny day. 60's. Shorts and a t-shirt. :)
Evening: Jack called for a short 3.6 mile run. Yay.

| Ran 2 miles to work, walked 1 mile home, ran 1 mile home. Went to the gym to climb--climbed (top rope) my first 5.10!! Whoo hoo! Granted, I fell off a few times and struggled with it at the top, but I did it. :-) Climbed: 5.8, 5.8/5.8, 5.8/5.9/5.10 Today began day 1 of the juice cleanse. I made it to dinner, wasn't feeling too well (and started having a lot of eating disordered thoughts), and it was Jack's birthday party, so I had a burger with chips and some cake (and water). I shall try again tomorrow this whole juice cleanse thing...but I know I'm going to eat some protein!
