Recovery Run: 8 miles

I thought for sure I'd be more recovered than I am from yesterday's leg work in the gym, but obviously I'm not. This morning was hard with a capital HARD. I struggled most of the way because of my sore legs, but I managed. I ran before I left for work, meaning I was out there around 4:15am.

Then to top it all off, not one, but two people cut me off only a half mile from my house. Both were at the same stop sign, too! Running on Arboga Rd., I had the right of way and they had a stop, but they tried to beat me there. The first person even waved at me as if there was nothing wrong.

It's not like they couldn't see me. As one person put it, when I wear my nighttime running gear, I'm "lit up like a Christmas tree". I think it's just another case of people caring more about themselves than the people around them.

Weight Training

The problem with not blogging when a thought or idea hits is that by the end of the day, it's completely gone. The workout was good today, it was supposed to be Friday's, but I didn't want to ruin my legs for my "big" weekend. 20 miles on Saturday, and a 10k race on Sunday.

Warmup, w/45lb barbell, 3 sets of 5
Overhead Barbell Squats
Barbell Squats
Good Mornings
Alternating Lunges
Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift

Workout
Leg Press, 3x25x180lbs
Lunges, 3x25x(2x20)
Barbell Military Press, 3x25x45lbs
Front Raises, 2x25x8lbs

33:12, 203 calories burned

Tomorrow morning is 8 tempo miles. In the evening, I'm going to try to make it over to Fleet Feet in Roseville by 5pm, when they're going to have a group run with none other than Dick Beardsley. Dick is famous for having a shootout at the end of the Boston Marathon in 1982 with Alberto Salazar, fighting for first place. While he didn't win (Salazar did, with a course and world record time of 2:08), he's certainly one of the people in running that I'd love to meet. The run's supposed to be 3 to 5 miles in length, which won't be too bad. I just hope I can get there in time! Maybe I'll be able to duck out of work a few minutes early.

• 08:23:25: I hate when my boss is clueless to how people work. Yes, when you downgrade someone's monitor from 1600x900 to 1280x900, they need to adjust
  
• 08:23:58: Also, I know it doesn't seem this way, but when you DOWNGRADE someone as oppose to UPGRADE...
  
• 08:24:18: It makes them feel inferior to the person you're giving their better monitors to. Seriously.
