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.

I kinda started getting my appetite back...still feeling nauseous, but I think the medicine is starting to help. I have to go to work today. For once, slept through the night without waking up for 2-4 hours to cough/breathe.

Went for a Teddy Roosevelt Island motivating run. Not much coughing on the run, just a little. Will probably do some core and/or swimming this evening...maybe.

Ran just over 7 miles today. Morning motivated run to the Iwo Jima Memorial. I tried to find the 1000m hill loop that Capital Area Runners run. I saw a bunch of runners out there! I miss having a group of ladies to run with...some of these looked fast! Still feeling sick.
