Less than ideal conditions
The only difference between the weather last night and the weather this morning was that it wasn't snowing. The sun did help a bit, but it was super windy and freezing, even by my definition. Not to mention the predicted ~4 inches of snow topped by a nice slick layer of ice. The snow slowed me down by a good 5-7 minutes/hour, by my calculation.
Not surprisingly, my achilles took quite awhile to warm up. Eventually it did, but it bothered me a lot biking tonight, weird because I heard biking was supposed to be okay for it. So I cut the bike short and just lifted. I'm icing now for the second time today and continuing to take anti-inflammatories, etc. I am supposed to meet my friend from my education class again tomorrow for a run, but I am going to swim on Friday. Or at least try to convince myself that's what I should do.
I've been so wrapped up in school and finals that I almost forgot this weekend is the NCAA indoor championships! Cornell has one representative on the women's side, in the 800 meters. I saw her run at Heps and she looked awesome--hope she does well. I think that one of their 5K runners qualified earlier in the season, but she must be injured since she hasn't competed recently. I'm also looking forward to seeing what happens at the high school "national" meets. When I lived in Washington, I used to love to go to watch the Nike Indoor Championships. But following it online will have to do!
