Today's weather was quite pleasant, and probably would've been a nice run had I not been doing pushups, situps, GHD situps, leg presses, and squats beforehand. As a result, my legs were pretty dead, which is by design. I'm trying to make my legs work through being tired, and the running is an attempt to work off some of the lactate that I've managed to build up. I'll see how I feel in about two weeks, by which time I think my pushups and situps will have gotten to the point where they need to be. I hope.

It's probably the only reason why I'd tolerate such horrific times and splits.
