I literally took one step out of bed this morning, attempting to get up and walk, and nearly fell down. My calf muscles are en fuego right now. So a fair warning: if you're going to do those crazy incline drills I mentioned, be prepared for some soreness. Especially if you pair it with calf raises, which I did on Monday.

Looks like the five-mile run will happen after work, once my muscles loosen up a bit. I'll be doing lots o' stretching today.

Another note about the Open-Faced veggie sandwiches: I don't know why I thought I should even bother with the fat-free cheese, as if somehow in the several years it's been since I'd tasted that garbage they'd find a way to improve the taste and texture. It was ass on a plate, everyone, and don't even bother. Since I still don't have a cheese substitute, today I'm going to swap out the fat-free cheese for some grated Parmesan. I don't imagine it'll change the POINTS value at all if you want to try it at home.

Other than the rubbery nonsense I'd subjected myself to, the lunch wasn't half bad. I probably won't make this dish again, but I wanted to use those veggies and this was a quick way to do it. I'm tossing out the cheese, by the way, because it's not as if I'm going to find a better use for it.

Today and tomorrow promise to be beautiful so I'm commuting to work via bike. I hooked up a rack to the bag, which means I won't have to wear my messenger bag, which will hopefully make the journey a bit more manageable. It's a great way to get to work, though. Despite traffic, it's actually pretty relaxing and it's nice to get a little extra exercise.
