Hello to all of you out there in internet land. As you may recall from my last blog entry, things hadn't been going exceptionally well: I had (okay, chose/decided) to take two consecutive days off because I was feeling tired and run down. I also had a few other things to complain about (mostly because I just wanted to complain). Although things aren't completely back to awesome, things are looking up. First off, after a near scare, my phone is once again alive and operational. Thanks to all of you who suggested the rice method for drying the phone. Since I didn't have any rice immediately available, I used wheat flour instead. It was a tad messier than the rice would have been, but it apparently worked. I was a little worried because a giant water droplet was visible under the main screen. The screens on the phone are still slightly marred, but the phone has been operational for a day, so I'm optimistic for the future.
Secondly, I did a workout yesterday with Playmakers Racing team. It was 4 x 1600 meters with an 800 meter jog in between. The workout wasn't a great success in the sense that I did not kill it (my splits were 4:46, 4:52, 4:51 and 4:45). It was a success in the sense that I actually finished a workout for the first time in two weeks.
My legs are not feeling great going into this weekend (my calves are really sore), where I will be racing the Martian Meteor 10k. I'm not sure what to expect coming into this race. It will be the first time that I will be racing a 10k (or anything serious over an 8k for that matter). I can see myself running anything from 31 minutes flat to 33 minutes. I'm hoping to hold five minute mile pace, so wish me luck.
One last thing: those of you who have seen me the past month may have noticed a growth under my chin (and if you looked really closely, something under my nose... that's a joke. I can't grow a mustache... it's funnier because I had to explain it. :) ). Well, the growth is no longer there. In relation to this, I would like to take a moment to scold those of you who let this go on for over a month! After seeing a picture of myself with the goatee, it was clear that what was a bad decision only became a worse decision when I decided to give myself a haircut, resulting in a look that was clearly not right for me. So to this end: Shame! Shame on you, for letting me mar my awesomeness with a look that was clearly the antithesis of awesome! Shame!
Blaze on, friends!
