Metabo journal

Ran this morning before work starting at 6:37 am. I was rather surprised at how automatic the run felt because I only got 5.5 hours of sleep (hard to sleep without Arby around). I woke up with a lot of nervous energy and I wasn't going fall back to sleep easily. Right now, I think I would not have a problem falling back to sleep...hopefully I'll stay alert through my presentation. My right knee smarted at the end of the run, which felt like razor blades running under the knee cap. Hopefully the pain will subside before tomorrow.

Light run today followed by 50 crunches and 50 obliques. Several weeks ago, 2 miles did not feel like a light run! I have been feeling pretty tired lately so it's good to take a slight break, but still keep up the exercising. Knees did ok today but there was definitely more tension in the right knee. Looking forward to Saturday's 3 leg relay:

1st leg = run as long as possible; 2nd leg = take shower; 3rd leg = get a massage 

Hopefully the 1st and 3rd legs will both last one hour... 

Ran at the field house followed by a bike sprint, 50 crunches, and 50 obliques. Finished the 4 miles in 42 minutes. After running the 5 miles in Boise, my goal was to run 4 miles in SLC since I don't seem to run as well here. I guess a flat, indoor track qualifies, so I'll bump the goal up to 4.5 miles. My work load and class load are pretty heavy this semester and I'm surprised that I was able to get in as much running as I did last week.

BY FAR, the best part of this day was the massage, even though there were quite a few painful knots in my calves that the therapist continued to press on.
