Alright. Quick update before I shower (not cooled down enough yet).

Went running at about 2:40...I was sort of hoping to jump into a game of Ultimate Frisbee, but there wasn't an organized match on the Quad (highly unusual), just about twenty people throwing a few frisbees around. Stretched out, then went for about a 5 mile run, at a relaxed pace. On a day like today a "relaxed pace" is still hell to go through. Almost collapsed before the big hill. Stopped sweating a few minutes later (BAD BAD BAD sign). Felt like evacuating my stomach (aka throwing up) all over the place. When I finished, I felt like a pile of shit. Ended the day with 4 x 50 strides and 2 x 25 butt kicks (yes, I can literally kick my own ass...pretty impressive, no?). Then I headed off to the weight room for pull-ups and a quick but rough abdominal workout.

But right now I feel good. I fucking demolished that run. Had to work really frickin' hard, but I made it. Never give up! Never surrender! I'm also in the midst of an oxygen high. I have feeling in my fingers and toes again.

And now to feast--my parents are picking me up and bringing me out to supper in a little while.

I wish I could go to that FIRST meeting tonight. At least there I could show my 1337 skillz off at bowling (or rather, my complete lack of skill...I call it a good night when I get a gutter ball half the time). It'd also be nice to socialize tonight...which I'm not gonna do here. I'm not big into those drinking parties. That's not socializing. That's getting drunk and being retarded. Hanging out with good friends is socializing and having fun. Instead of socializing with people from FIRST, I shall socialize with my roommates. I wonder if there's any vodka in the fridge.

Later all. Need to shower. Take good care and fare ye well.
