Running 15:00 [1] 2.28 km (6:34 / km) +4m 6:31 / km
shoes: 201104 NB 759

After over a week of illness and inactivity, I went out on a late night run - an actual run, outside. I decided to run gingerly for about fifteen minutes thinking about my form and trying to stay loose. Remarkably, I felt no discomfort in either leg. An incidental benefit of my illness is that my legs had a week of essentially no activity to rest. The temperature was 24 C and skies were clear. Since my run was trivially short, I didn't bother bringing an audiobook.

Strength training 8:00 [5]

Two cycles of:
- 25 tuckups
- 10 squats, bodyweight
- 25 elbow-to-knee crunches, each side
- 10 calf raises, bodyweight
- 10 pushups
- 10 split squats (baby lunges)

I will put more emphasis on leg strength once my body has had time to adjust to the stress of regular running.

Note

Still dying. I have been staying home and sleeping intermittently and often for the past four days. I have a persistent burning sensation in the back of my throat that seems unaffected by various medicines and only abates temporarily when I drink fluids. I have been feverish and disoriented.

On the plus side, my right tibia feels great; I did some one-legged hopping around my apartment without discomfort.
