Usual work with weightes at home. Still feeling strong after quite an intence week, Will rest tomorow because I got to cook for my father's birthday after all.

Decided to run on paved road today as a preparation for the Half-Marathon to see how painfull will it get out there. Run past the Verizano Bridge to the Bay Ridge and back. Had to fiight a srong front wind but managed to beat it. It hurt a bit, certainly, unlike running on terrain, but I think I will survive.

Fair amount of stretching helped to releive some stress that accumulated in my legs as well as made my muscles more lean. Wew....

Worked with weightes at home. Although wanted to run today, but stayed at home because of my right knee still bothering me a lot after the injury at Troll Cup. Got to preserve it till Staten Island Half-Marathon in a week or so.

Work with weightes on upper body in local gym. Found myself 5 pound lighter and thinner because of last two A-meets :)))) Gotta gain it all back.

Running in PP first loop. Felt very easy and agile. I didn't beleive at first to the split on my watch that said that I was running with at least 4 intensity level, so I figured out that because of past two weeks efforts I just must be in good physical shape.

Felt surprisingly easy on the second loop but had even faster time because of the sprint to the finish. I just think that efforts on last two A-meet helped me a lot in terms of bringing my endurance level higher. Great!!!

Had to stretch a lot because of the injured muscle right above my right knee-cup from the last A-meet. Though it doesn hurt when I run, but as a precation I used an elastic bandage that helped a lot.

Usual work with weightes at home. Felt a bit weak but not bad overall considering weekend's efforts.
