Sail away

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

So, recovering from being sick has gone well. Sucking it up and running in this freezing cold weather-- not so much. I have to constantly remind myself why I'm doing this. When it gets TOO cold (like it has been) I normally swim or bike (inside) instead of run. Today I biked on a high level for 45 minutes, then did p90x and refereed a soccer game. Sunday was awesome. I ran five miles, then played soccer for two and a half ish hours, then had a Frisbee game that night. I slept through my 8am class. But it was so worth it. Soccer has been giving me great extra workouts- some awesome sprints- but unfortunately, I haven't been doing enough long distance. I actually got a little hurt in my game tonight... my right ankle is swollen and my left knee has a huge knot under it. I don't think that's good. But tomorrow, I will keep pushing on. Or at least, I'll try. I'll let ya know. Until then, I think I'll pull my shin guards out of storage...
