While applying sunscreen before this morning's run, I noticed my left elbow in the mirror. I had seen the progression of the scab, and felt the tenderness right at the bone, but I hadn't paid attention to the size or color of the bruises. Large and yellow/purple. Even 1 week on. Quite a shock.

Long run with the gang on the Cranbrook loop. I walked a couple of times, and generally felt sluggish, although my HR was only hitting 160-165 on the steepest hills. It felt as if I had just donated blood, like my ability to transport oxygen was diminished.

Ran to the grocery store to pay a bill. L foot felt so-so, but overall endurance was poor. Noticed my weight was too high.

Exhausted from lots of work, not enough sleep. Pulse was measured at 68bpm at a physical Monday.

Injury inventory, Billygoat +2 days, excluding muscular fatigue and mild overuse injuries like tender ankles and wasted quads.

L knee bruised deeply.
L elbow bruised and bloodied.
L shoulder scraped and bruised.
Bruises on back above belt line from tumble down shale slope near #6.
Sole of L foot unusually tender.
