I didnt write this down yesterday but I did not run and did 4000 yards in the pool instead.

I woke up feeling like death this morning and almost bagged it. Running always feels better after it is done - it is true! I drank 10 ounces of super super strong tea with a bit of sugar - very much like the ones you get on the roadside in Delhi, except this was spiked by a thousand when it comes to caffine. It worked! I had a super fast 10.5 miles this morning. I felt so brave that I attempted to do something I've only ever read about but never done - knee and butt kicks. Apparently they strengthen and lengthen your running stride. I could only manage them for 800m before dying. I am not kidding - they are HARD!

I will do them everyday religiously and increase it to atleast a mile. This may take time - I have no background in soccer or sprinting, so they are totally out of my comfort zone. They do help make you a better runner though.
