blah

well, i couldn't fight off this cold any longer. woke up in the middle of the night a couple of times w/ a sore throat and just an ill feeling in general. i called amanda this morning and reluctantly told her i probably shouldn't ride. it really isn't all that cold out even though it's windy as hell. she said it was cool and decided to join robert's insane group ride.

the sun came out so i decided to venture out and get a quick run in. i made a few more tweaks to my "custom" orthotics i fabricated earlier this week. considering how much knee and hip pain i had after my wed. night run, i couldn't believe how good i felt after 3 miles! almost no knee pain and absolutely no hip pain! i'm very happy about that since i was feeling pretty frustrated on wed. night. it's so nice to run pain free. now i need to work on my speed and endurance. have i mentioned i'm a HORRIBLE runner? i have no idea how people can run so fast!

if i'm feeling better tomorrow, i would like to get out for a ride. there's a fun group leaving from stoney high school, but that's quite a drive. i'll see how i feel in the morning. in the meantime, i'm going to be taking more zinc, getting some rest and watching the bronze medal hockey game.
