Personal:

I'm a former rower, looking at getting into some other form of competition after "retirement" from my pastime of the previous four years. I'm dedicated, but a little held back by my formerly 215lb 6'7" frame.

Good stuff, can't complain. Legs feel much better than they did yesterday after the shorter run, feet are on the verge of soreness again, but I've got short runs for the next couple days. Felt pretty gross during the run, but I haven't really been sleeping. I blame property law... too many conveyances of Cyanacre, etc.

Five on the treadmill. Don't know if it was doing well on the property final, or it being the first workout of the day, or actually getting a good night's rest, or whatever, but I felt like I wasn't even trying. Heart rate told me confirmed I was, and I used my favorite treadmill at the same speed I always do, but this just felt good. Good omen. Feet were a little sore, but they're recovering fine, and I should be alright with another short run before I go longer again. Race on Saturday, Beat the Bridge 8k... going to aim for sub-31 as an A goal, will be satisfied with sub-32. Let's see how it goes!

Treadmill run, 63 minutes, felt great. I'm *&(*ing DONE with 1L year... had a beer to celebrate, but I'm going to sleep. Bad history of getting sick right after finals.
