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.

Been sick all week long. Finally went to the doctor yesterday for some medication (since I was less dizzy and able to drive to the doctor). Felt a little better yesterday, but I spent 2am-6am awake coughing my lungs up.

Went for a short run with Jack. It felt difficult since I was having trouble breathing, coughing a lot, and felt nauseous. So upset with this being sick thing... :-(

Did abs afterwards on the Swiss ball.
