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.

Biked 41 miles followed immediately by a 7 mile run and abs + stretching. Felt good. Perfect weather. Biology class is going well.

Easy 4-5 miles along the Canal followed by ab routine and push-ups/squats (4x25 each).

Went for a bike ride during lunch break, but I took a nasty spill. I hit my head (thank God for my helmet) and got some pretty bad road rash. Took the rest of the day off after the short (12-13 mile) bike ride and lifting session. :-(

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...
