AM - 3 easy miles. Both knees were swollen this morning. Maybe it's time to get new shoes. Yesterday I counted more than 600 miles on them, but it seems like I just bought them. President Hinkcley said a house and a car were worthy objects to indebt yourself for, I wonder what he'd say about running shoes.... PM - After my last final, I had a little time to head to the indoor track for some speed work. I averaged 4 hours of sleep per night the last three nights and finals have beat me up pretty good, plus I hadn't eaten anything except some sausage burritos in the morning, but the workout went alright. I planned 3x1000m at 8:40 3k pace w/ 2:00 rests. After a 12 minute warmup, I launched into the first one, finishing in 2:55.5. The second one started to hurt, but I finished in 2:54.6. The last one was very painful, but I manged a 2:55.0. So 8:45.1 total time. This workout hurt more than I expected, I'm not sure if that's because I'm not in as good of shape as I thought or because I was tired. It's hard to tell. Either way, I was reasonably pleased with the effort.
