I am invincible!

It still amazes me how much good 2 days of rest does for your body. During my run today I never once felt sore or fatigued. Bored, yes, but that comes with running around a track 12 times. My feeling of invincibility was reflected in my time, too: 3 miles in 24 min, 33 sec. Actually, when I first took a look at my time it was 22 min, 30 sec, but I felt like I might have missed a lap so I ran another and just averaged the time up to give me a full 3 miles. Still. That's an 8 min, 11 sec mile. Not bad for a novice. I think I need to clock it back still, especially since I still have two more days in a row of running. If only I had a watch to wear while running... (waiting to get it for Christmas instead of buying it).

Shins are a wee bit sore and the tendon in my left knee, too, but I'm going to ice those this afternoon. Still a lot better than last week.
