I was really sore after my run yesterday (and for the entire rest of the day) and I really wondered how I'd make it through another 3-mile run today, as prescribed by my training program. I did a lot of stretching and IcyHotting before bed, and somehow I'm feeling okay this morning, so I think I'll be fine when I hit the treadmill on my lunch break today. I've worked out a plan to reward myself: every Thursday night, get Indian food for dinner. Then have leftovers for lunch on Friday after my 3rd consecutive running day. Something to live for. I love Indian food so much...
I also really love the Blazers. My team has been winning a lot lately, and beating some great teams, but a lot of these games have been clumsy limps to victory against teams that we should have destroyed, so I wasn't getting my hopes up for last night's game against the defending NBA champion Miami Heat. I was at best cautiously optimistic. Throughout the game, the Heat looked stronger and more composed than the Blazers, but they were never able to build a huge lead, and sure enough, Portland put together a nice charge in the 4th quarter, taking the lead with 26 seconds left and holding on to win in dramatic fashion. I was beyond ecstatic. It's still early and who knows if we're a true playoff team (no one thought so a month ago, that's for sure), but I really enjoy watching them. It's a fun time to be a fan.
Tomorrow morning I fly to SLC for a sectional with Max. Hopefully the fog here and the snow there won't delay me, because I'll be cutting it kind of close for the first session. Since I have to wake up at stupid o'clock to catch my flight, I'll probably just go home and get in bed right after work tonight. Definitely looking forward to that, but the day has been slow so far and I'm out of plane crashes to read about. Anything good on the internet? That's sfw?
