Yesterday Rest, Today a Recovery Run

I realized yesterday that my body was a bit sore, especially in my hamstrings and knees, so I just iced them and took a rest day. Better safe than sorry. (Plus its finals week for me and I have a lot to get done, so it was not as agonizing a decision for me to make)

Then today I was scheduled to do a 3 mile recovery run and strength training, and I AM FINALLY BACK ON HAL'S SCHEDULE!!!! I feels very good to type that. I ran without much of an incident. I stopped a couple times briefly to massage my shins, but as long as I was running slow I was great. Then today I took another ice bath, and now my legs feel great!

Tomorrow is supposed to be a 16x200 at the track. I'll try to do that.

And on a personal note, I have gotten rejected from all but one grad schools I applied to, but I got great news today that the University of Minnesota (which rejected me) will allow me into their physics program if I agree to pay for my schooling! So I am going to be attending grad school! Yay!

Congrats on the University of Minnesota and on getting back on your training schedule! That always feels great.

I don't know how you can do Ice Baths. I can't do them, but maybe I just a baby about that stuff.
