It'll catch up with me soon...

Today I woke up at 7:35 AM to meet friends for a run at 8:30. This is nothing unusual, however, I only got about four hours of sleep last night. I went to see the band Cowboy Mouth with some friends. They are an awesome band live. I danced the entire time! Needless to say, the first 25 minutes of the run this morning were a bit miserable. I started my training program for the half-marathon this week so I only had to run five miles. I wasn't even sure I was going to make it three miles. I made it and the last 30 minutes of the run was actually nice. I even increased speed for the last half mile and finished 5.7 miles in 60 minutes. Not the best time for me, but I was tired. In the afternoon I played flag football with some friends. Our team got spanked, but we had a great time.

I have diligently been following my strength training program for three weeks and it is going well. Each week, I either up the reps or up the weight if I have reached the max reps (12). I am noticing results such as my arm and upper body muscles are harder.

Now that I am finally sitting, my tiredness is catching up to me. I could go to sleep right now. Fortunately tomorrow is a rest day.
