"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. Favorite Blogs: |

| I was going to run at my house, but my left knee was in pain. Tried again at my boyfriend's house, but it was still painful. Called it and decided to set up the trainer for a bike workout (looked like a thunderstorm outside...and I hate traffic/rush hour).
12 min easy spin warm-up
7 x (5 min big wheel/hard effort + 2 min small wheel/easy effort)
10 min easy spin cool-down
Quick lift session:
4 rounds:
25 squats (bw, 20 lbs, bw, 35 lbs sandbag)
12 lunges (each leg, bw)
25 push-ups
15 bent over row (35 lb sandbag)
12 seated overhead press (10lb DBs)
Core session: 2 sets:
25 Swiss ball crunches
25 Swiss ball side crunch with leg lift (each side)
25 Swiss ball leg levers
25 toe touchers
Stretch! Really looking forward to a run tomorrow...fingers crossed!

| Tried to run. Sharp pain in anterior left knee. Did a jog/stop/jog for about a mile before resorting to foam rolling, icing, and doing planks (9 minutes) for the day.

| Warmed up with a walk (1/2 mile) and a light jog (1/2 mile) and foam rolling before going out for a very easy 6 mile run. No sharp pain, but knee felt "ticklish" or "loose." Finished with core work.
Bought myself some goodies from the running store today (shoes, socks, arm warmers, race bib belt)!
