Week 3: Day 3

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 6:50am) = 3.63 miles, time = 37:53, pace @ 10:26
• karate = 2 hours
  ~ first (beginners) class = 7pm to 8pm
  ~ second (intermediate) class = 8pm to 9pm

10:00am: It felt so nice to run again without feeling totally tired (lack of sleep), bored, unmotivated and/or crappy. I think after a much needed break to sleep better, I'm starting to feel normal again and that's totally helping with the running. After many weeks and months of running before, this morning was the first time I didn't walk or stop multiple times during a run other than at stop lights/signs. I think the last time I was able to run continuously/non-stop was at the last half marathon in Oct. 2009 in Long Beach. Wow, that sounds like a long time ago!

9:23pm: In the second class of Karate, we did punch-outs, grab-arts and katas (all of which are some sort of different techniques). That was all we did which was not usually what we did in an intermediate class...at least, not for a long time, so I felt weird, but it was nice for a change that we didn't always do grappling or something like that. Some people are getting promoted soon and they needed to practice those things, so I think that might be why we were did something totally different.
