I have this many body parts?
I went swimming at 5 PM today for 34:39. I did the usual-half with a pull buoy and half regular crawl. Before that I took a 45 minute nap. I have no idea why I have been so tired lately but I can sleep at anytime. I have a 16 session pass to the pool. I am going to try and see if I can use it up before the end of 2006. I have 13 sessions left. That is extremely doable (or I will spend lots of time there in December). :) I also just finished my knee exercises and core workout.
Injury update:
*Left Knee: Bruised from falling, but does not hurt. The scrape is healing.
*Right Quad: Feeling much better post-massage.
*Right Knee: Hurts a tiny bit when I bike. What?? That is very weird for me. I am fairly certain it is from running funny to try and make my calf not pull funny when I was running on Tuesday. Yes, I was consciously experimenting with different strides, one of which was weird to my knee. Yes, I know better. (Might also be from not doing my knee/quad exercises while I let my quad heal).
*Right Calf: Doesn’t hurt at all. Not when I bike. Not when I walk. It actually doesn’t hurt that much. Just “pulls” a little when I run which is a warning sign from the spring (see two months of sad blogging to accompany that injury). Actually, don’t go looking at those entries. I was a sad mess.
*Left Hand: Hurts to touch on the top of my hand next to my thumb. It must be from the fall. No big deal.
*Right Hand: The cut from the fall is healing nicely.
The only real concern I have is my calf. It’s hard to tell if I am really hurt b/c it feels completely fine during day-to-day activities. I am NOT going to feel guilty about being hurt. (If only I hadn’t run so fast on that training run….If only I hadn’t run on Tuesday when I knew it didn’t feel quite right…). I didn’t do anything drastically wrong and I just don’t have the strength to blame myself for this one. Rightly or wrongly, I am chalking it up to “it just happened.” I am going to try running tomorrow and check out the status.
If we field enough players for a team I am signed up for soccer. Sunday nights. Starts mid-October.

I thought you fell while running... That is a lot of injuries, are you sure after falling you weren't run over by a herd of Buffalo...or perhaps you fell...off of a cliff?

Do use clipless pedals on the bike? could be why the knee hurts then...sometimes minor adjustments need to be made.

Sucks about your calf. In my opinion you should definitely rest up, so that you can run fast and injury-free at Tufts. I hope it feels better soon however!!
Sorry to hear that you too are experiencing some sleepless nights...
