"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: |

| 9 easy miles before a day of tubing (cold!).
Notes for tubing:
- bring extra tubes (they pop)
- wait until the water is at least 2 ft high (lots of rocks/low areas)
- do it on a warm, sunny day
- bring more water/snacks/beer if you're going on a slow route

Felt okay. Started rough. Ended well. Drank Nuun instead of just water during the workout because it happened to be in my water bottle.

| Ran my first 8k tempo today. Felt tough, fell off the pack around mile 3, but I held onto my pace. Mental day. This is also a new 8k PR! Haha. Awesome. 2 mi warm-up. 3 mi cool-down. Finished with planks.

| 11 weeks until my marathon!
2 weeks until my half marathon. 6 weeks until my other half marathon.
21 mile progression run! I ran each third with a different group of ladies, but the paces were right what I wanted. I like to stick to the "add 45 seconds" and "add 90 seconds" rule. The final third started getting a little fast too soon for me, so I jumped groups when we were all at a stoplight. Finally ran a smart long run. I really need to get a feel for the 6:40-6:50 marathon pace.
9:19, 8:28, 8:33, 8:07, 8:25, 8:07, 8:07 (with Lauren, Juan, and Nora)
7:46, 7:50, 7:28, 7:25, 7:14, 7:03, 7:21 (with Kate, Erin, and Sam)
7:06, 6:43, 7:00, 6:46, 6:42, 6:54, 6:49 (with Nora, Ann, Kelly, Sarah, and Ryan)
(we lose reception at 5 miles out, so that 7:00 is probably a little faster)
