My convienient semi-injury freed up some time this weekend for me to actually finish my qualifying paper. Two years in the making! I feel like a new man– and as I just told a colleague– like maybe I’m doing what I should be doing for the first time in a while. Just waiting for some feedback to make it official, then down to Austin for my exams.

Running-wise, though, my cookie has crumbled a bit. The fatigue hast totally left my legs, but my knee is sore in places it hasn’t been sore before (partially because of a bruise from yoga), but once I stretch it out it usually feels mostly better. Sitting is what kills it.

I’m heading back to the gym tomorrow to try some sorta cardio and to do some strengthening on my calves and shins. Two weeks off of real running has been a bummer, but at least I’m still getting things done.
