First 3.

Yesterday was a brutal run. I always joke about my “retirement” from running at the end of each Half, although clearly I still get a lot of cardio work in through tennis. However, for the most part, I do drop any semblance of long-distance running for short bursts of speed, so the first run of the training regimen is particularly hellish. Today my muscles are actually pretty sore. Pathetic!

On a side-note, I’d like to reiterate my recommendation for the new Muse album. I thought I’d grow weary of the endless rotation after a couple weeks, but it hasn’t happened yet. Go pick it up!
