"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: |

Head hurts. Possible concussion. I was aching for a run, so I did a 4 mile slog and some abs.

| Did a stupid thing on my run with Jack. I wanted to cheer on Mike Erwin (Team Red White Blue, 100 Miles in 100 Hours), so we ran down to the waterfront. That's about 3.5-4 miles away; I wanted to just run back. Instead we ran with the group for a while before turning home. Jack mapped it out to be about 16 miles...oh well. It was nice.

| Day of rest. Feeling like poo (headache, storm is coming). Having trouble focusing and relaxing. Just one of those no good days. Lost some weight... | | Add Comment |

| Easy run this morning to just move the legs and test the head. Followed it with core workout. I forgot how much I love early morning runs. Silence...ahhh... Weight was down to 96.5 lbs this morning...not necessarily a good thing. Been having trouble in my head arguing about my weight (part of me says to eat more and lift more to gain muscle to get to 100 lbs again; part of me wants to keep losing weight). Two more weeks of Biology I class. Need to figure out what to do with my life.

| Jack ditched me. Did 7 by myself, with two of those miles around 6:35-6:25/mile pace. A little upset about being ditched (I would have done a 60 mile bike and a 7 mile run if I hadn't planned on running with someone...aggravated). Anyways, tomorrow is a new day. Ready for my BRiC tomorrow... | | Comments(1) |

| Biked 70 miles and did a 1 mile run afterwards. Bike felt pretty good. AP of 16.8mph (including stops, but most of the ride was 18-20mph). Three weeks until my triathlon. Weight was 97.0lbs before the workout and 95.5lbs after the workout. I'm struggling to keep up my weight (even though I'm eating and drinking normally). | | Add Comment |

| Ran 13.1 miles in the rain. This weekend has been about having belief in myself. - belief I can still swim - belief I can run 3 x mile repeats, each under 6 minutes - belief I can bike 70 miles - belief my tired body can run 13.1 miles - belief I can still mentally push myself | | Add Comment |

| I was going to run at my house, but my left knee was in pain. Tried again at my boyfriend's house, but it was still painful. Called it and decided to set up the trainer for a bike workout (looked like a thunderstorm outside...and I hate traffic/rush hour).
12 min easy spin warm-up
7 x (5 min big wheel/hard effort + 2 min small wheel/easy effort)
10 min easy spin cool-down
Quick lift session:
4 rounds:
25 squats (bw, 20 lbs, bw, 35 lbs sandbag)
12 lunges (each leg, bw)
25 push-ups
15 bent over row (35 lb sandbag)
12 seated overhead press (10lb DBs)
Core session: 2 sets:
25 Swiss ball crunches
25 Swiss ball side crunch with leg lift (each side)
25 Swiss ball leg levers
25 toe touchers
Stretch! Really looking forward to a run tomorrow...fingers crossed!

| Tried to run. Sharp pain in anterior left knee. Did a jog/stop/jog for about a mile before resorting to foam rolling, icing, and doing planks (9 minutes) for the day.

| Warmed up with a walk (1/2 mile) and a light jog (1/2 mile) and foam rolling before going out for a very easy 6 mile run. No sharp pain, but knee felt "ticklish" or "loose." Finished with core work.
Bought myself some goodies from the running store today (shoes, socks, arm warmers, race bib belt)!
