12.55 miles on the week. This together with last week's almost complete lack of running and now I'm in danger of not reaching my goal of 1000 miles on the year. I have a deadline today, so I've been using that as an excuse this week but really, I think it's been the cold weather. The deadline has allowed me to weasel out of it. Or maybe I just needed a break. I felt generally exhausted the first half of this week.
Run commuted Tuesday and Wednesday, did minimal weights on Wednesday (bench, pulldowns, squats) and Friday (landmines and bentover rows with latblaster and dumbbells), got a little frostnip at the beginning of Thursday's measly 2.4-mile fartlek run, will do some more ST at the end of the day today, mos' proly deadlifts and shoulder presses.
Injury report: My toes have already recovered from Thursday's extremely mild frostnip. My left shoulder has also been bothering me again, but I've been running the electric massager over it and the upper and outer chest area these last several days and this seems to help a lot, along with some stretching, so maybe it's been knots/trigger points in need of a little myofascial release all along . . . I thought it was old joints.
Two weeks and almost no barefoot running. My feet are sullen. Temps are supposed to climb up to close to freezing next week, maybe I can get in a few bare miles then.
Started running again last week. Time that I got back into it.
. . .
Oh yes, Nick was right all along. According to ISO8601 Standard, the week begins on Monday.

Great to have you back Sid!
Now quick go and recall all the 2014 calendars being sold at this very moment. It's scandalous this errant information is being passed off as the truth!
People think they're beginning the week when really they're ending it
.
Maybe it would be helpful to the ISO folks if us hegemonic irrationalists just called Saturday "the weekend" and Sunday became "the weekstart."
. They're taking the whole weekend thing too literally.
I like ISO's representation of the date though. That's the protocol I use on all my documents. It orders them chronologically that way: today is 13.12.14 for example.
