New dedication...

...to blogging.

Darren's 6'5" friend from home (who, strangely, is in my friend Sean's class at BC Law) was visiting. Joy of Sets won an embarrassing 3-0 match against a totally overpowered team. Yikes.

Then went to Pottruck for 3mi: started at 7:30 pace then up the ladder .1mph every .25mi (1.0 incline, as always; total time = 21:20). 3xvb circuits, then 15min bike.

I'm weary and I don't know why. It's not the sleep (10+ hours both weekend nights). It's not overexercise (max distance run was the 7 out to Manayunk two weeks ago and I've had more off days in the last few weeks than I usually have in several months). It could be the lifting I've been doing--that's the one aspect of distance running training I tend to sluff off on... Or maybe it's diet? I've been back and forth being a vegetarian a few times, and except for one time at POPL when chicken breast was the only reasonable protein option, I haven't touched meat since Christmas. Last time I went totally veggie, during the ramp up to Chicago, I got weird shin splints that didn't go away until I ate some chicken on Dr. C's recommendation. Made a huge pot of seitan / tofu / eggplant tonight and ate until I was totally stuffed. Maybe that will do the trick.
