Eating: some pistachios and some dried raspberries courtesey of staying here until 4 the other night
Drinking: water
Listening: nothing, because I am too apathetic to stand up, walk over to the other side of my office, and get my iPod out of the Redweld that I keep my shoes in
Today was a Crossfit rest day. Crossfit Endurance asked for a 60 minute time trial. When I read that, I thought: I'll do half. By the time I had spent the greater part of the day spacing out in my office, that no longer seemed like such a good idea. So, I did 20 minutes. Note this is still the longest distance I've run in at least a month. I managed 2.31 miles. The Running Times time / distance calculator tells me that is an 8:39 pace, which would get me through a marathon in 4:25. That is pretty slow, which would be fine if I had felt it to be easy, but I didn't, I thought it was awful, and my face was purple by the time I finished. Another issue is that my ankles again felt pretty tight. It seems pretty clear that I should be running again, and at a slower pace. I need to be careful about technique.
I have not felt that great lately. Part of the problem obviously has to do with working too late and lack of sleep, but I feel lethargic in general.
