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.

10 miles along the Tobacco Trail. First two miles were about 7:30-8:00/mile pace, then the rest were about 6:58-7:10/mile pace. Ran the finish with the Wendy's. Felt good. Climbed later with Rob and his niece.

Today was an awesome birthday party for Rob's mom--eating, drinking, brewing beer, and playing games.

Spent most of the day in the car, then ran and did some core work. Feeling fat but my body doesn't hurt.
