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.

Warmed up 2 miles to start the tempo, but Coach nixed it because of my shin still nagging me. Just feels like a VERY MILD ache on the front of my shin, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Coach said to take the next 4-5 days off running. I said I would do what he said, so I'll take the days off...

Used the ElliptiGO for the first time today. Only did about a 10k, did core work later. I loved the ElliptiGO. It's now on my list of things to buy once I save the money.
