Still sick... Coughing a bit. Congested. Headache, and physically tired.

Spine ok, still low energy and congested.

Less energy than a... Idk, but I was exhausted. Good chance i've got the swine, though. I was gettting progressively worse throughoutthe day. When I got home, my spine, or coccyx as I've been told, was hurting a lot. Took some asprin and a short while later, a bath. Not sure which helped, or if it was a combination, but my coccyx was fine after the bath.

Just didn't get around to doing anything today. Had a half day of school so I came home and hung out with some friends for half an hour before returning home and getting my picture taken multiple times for my senior portrait. After seemingly endless pictures I finally returned indoors at which i point I deemed it necessary to begin homework. I was later engaged with some friends rewiring a stereo to accommodate two large speakers as well as two smaller large speakers. not surprisingly, it worked. he just needed to be told that when you wrap two +s and two -s together and put them in the speaker wire ports, they will both work! That was good times, though. I then tried to set up his stereo to take an audio output from the computer, but I had to go home for dinner. At this point, I was quite tired and still needed to finish some homework. Once I did that, though. I didn't feel like doing much else besides watching the TV show Flashforward which is quite good. A lot like LOST, only different... but anyway, never got around to doing strength or running.

C • Excuses 3

A really easy run. It would have been longer but I started to feel badish around the 40 min mark. Originally I was going to do an hour and about 12k. Turns out the loop I was doing was 3k short, but I did run slow. I would have liked to do 15k, but based on how I was feeling after 9, it's good that I didn't go on. I wasn't physically tired at all really... a bit after the kilometer long hill, but other than that, wasn't tired at all...

Did my daily EKs. I only did one set at half reps because I just didn't feel like doing another. I had considered doing it after the run, but I wasn't feeling too much like doing more push ups so I decided to hold off...

I was quite tired during the beginning of the workout. This may be due to working the muscles hard the last two days, but I can't say for sure.

did 2 EKs with 10-15 min in between. The break was too long but I was given a few tasks to complete by mother.

(this is one EK (with half reps) for all who want to know (full EK would be double all the reps and time))
40 push-ups
1:00 wall sit
30 sec leg lift
30 sec jumping squats
30 sec/30 push ups (would be pull ups, but I don't have a bar)
30 sec front plank
10 burpees
30 sec calf raises
30 sec ab thingymadooer
30 sec modified crunches (feet in air)
30 sec Other ab thingymadooer
30 tricep pushups
30 sec sideplank
30 sec other sideplank

C • thingymadooer? 2

Stomach not feeling so good after EKs so I may not run... if I do, it won't be far.

A note for the weekend.

I went to the winsplits page with the results on it for red. When i checked the "times without mistakes" box, I was impressed with myself! It's right where I thought I should be on both days. The problem is, I can't check the "no mistakes" box before my races... But it's nice to know where I should have placed if everyone had clean races. Granted, it isn't always right because on number 6 on day 2, I had the second best time, but a terrible route and should have been 30 seconds faster. But still, it's close enough for me!

C • The Struggle for Consistency 2

Did an 8k "time trial" just to see where I was at. My goal was 32, and I more or less got it. Had I been able to see the time on the watch, I would have sped up. I felt good, though. My goal is to have that time under 30 min.

did my EKs! Half reps anyways. Was going to do two workouts back to back, but I had to hurry out and run so I would be back in time to have my senior picture taken. That picture never happened so I could have done it. The workout seemed pretty easy, which I'm glad of. I think two of them would do me in, though.
