This week was another scheduled "rest" week, and I assure you it has been much appreciated. I think between the long run on Monday and the temporarily altered diet this week my body has just been struggling to recover fully. I mean, don't get me wrong...matzah can be delicious (well...rather, you can put enough delicious toppings on it to make it acceptable), but I've decided that there's just no humanly possible way to consume enough of it to get the quantity of carbs running seems to demand. I kind of long for a grapefruit (um...where of course by grapefruit I mean bread. And pasta. And also bread.)
Otherwise, this past week was pretty uneventful...mostly just catching up on research and trying to stay on top of class. And, actually, between a meeting with my advisor tomorrow, homework and minor term paper items due for class this week, and a 20 minute talk I'm supposed to be preparing, today is still pretty busy for me. So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to keep this week's post short.

Tuesday: 20 minutes on the stationary bike and 15 on the elliptical.
Wednesday: 5 miles, over which my legs were unusually whiny.
Thursday: 5 miles. This was the day that, between the wear and the lack of carbs, I was really feeling it. A much more difficult run than I was expecting.
Friday: The usual day off...
Saturday: My foot was bothering me a lot (which was strange... it felt fine on Thursday, and Friday obviously I didn't do anything to aggravate anything), so I substituted some time on the stationary bike for my usual running.
Sunday: 12 miles in 65 degree sunny weather. Truly, a great day to be out running, and a shame that I have to spend the rest of it inside!

Just finished: "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" Not really my favorite of DFW's works, but I really liked at least a few of the short stories. Also, I'm starting to realize that in the last year I've read most of his stuff. Just a few books left, now.

Reading too quickly, I thought you reported that your legs were unusually shiny on Wednesday.
