spinning this morning was miserable. i feel like my lung capacity has halved. at one point, i thought i was gonna faint...(not enough 02, heart felt pretty crappy). i'm gonna say its cuz i've got smoke in my lungs from last night...which means, maybe the smoking thing has got to go. i woke up coughing at one point...but seriously, i might smoke the equivalent of 1 cig a day. is it worse if you roll it yourself? and i've never gotten this from the other times i've smoked. maybe its a combo of that and the long flight and the not enough sleep and the week vacation..but i did go running 4 times during the 9 days...that's not awful, right?

btw, the 2m from house to front of neighborhood has improved to 18:30 (1 min faster than last break). not sure if that's cuz i take the downhills faster, but i also feel like the uphills are much better and i don't feel like dying (the weather probably helped a lot too). and you know, faster downhills mean less rest between ups, so i'm ok with that.

bought a ton of gear from adidas outlet, so now i hafta be worthy of it. can't wait to try out new cleats tomorrow. not gonna smoke tonight...see how i do at league...a tad nervous. haha, but not enough to not cover sheena. she's going down!
