Morning- 3 miles.

Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up. 4x1 mile repeats @ 5:26 pace (87%). With 3 minute recovery in between each one. Times were 5:27, :26, :25, and :23. I was really tired after, and I felt really light headed after also. I felt awful during school. My running nose was killing me, and I was sneezing like no other. But I thought it was just allergies. 1.5 mile cool down. And weights.

Morning- 3 miles, it felt really hard, and my breathing was way off. Yoga after. I felt eh this morning.

Afternoon- 5.5 miles? On some trail. I had no idea what was going on during practice today. I just felt tired, sluggish, and sick to my stomach. I was in the back the first mile of the run, which never happens. And once I hit the top of the trail, I was just breathing way hard. So I knew something was up. And on the way back, I struggled big time. I thought I was just being a wimp for a long time. Till about 0.5 mile left, I just had nothing in me. By the end of the run, I had a huge headache, and couldn't breath, my throat just burnt. Not a good day of feeling well.

I decided finally just to give it one more day (today), and just play it safe. I feel much better from Tuesday, but not completly.

Morning- Was there for the team book discussion, and got me thinking a little about running in different ways. And now I think some of the ideas are outragous, but for sure accomplishable, if you put yourself to the committment, and dedication.

Afternoon- I talked to some people, and I decided to attend DSU, and run there. I worked out the little details to run. And I am planning on running there in college, so that's pretty sweet.

Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up, and 15 minutes of LT tempo. Goal pace was 5:17. I only went 5 because my IT band was acting up at the end of the run. But I got 2.64 on the tempo with a pretty big hill. So I was happy about going that far for the week's sickness, and the hill. 1ish mile cool down.

Morning- 3 miles easy. Had tons of energy.

Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up. 4x1,600 meters at 5:16 pace. With 3 minute recovery between each one. I felt really good today. I hit 5:25, 5:23, 5:19, and 5:21. I really focused on pushing the first curves, and the back stretch. And it worked for the most part. And 1.5 mile cool down. After stretched and rolled really good. And then I went to Wendy's with David, Preston, Bryan, and Logan. Yum. :)

Morning- Nice and easy 3 miles. Yoga was good too.

Afternoon- 2 mile warm up. Got my spikes on and just focused on pushing the 200 part (first curve, and back stretch). First lap was 1:09, and then 1:13 pace died a lot. So I came by the 800 meter mark at 2:22, and then the 3rd was 1:13 again coming by at a 3:35. I felt ok about that. But that needs a lot of work. And then in my mind I just kept thinking 60 seconds for the last lap. And my 1,200-1,400 meters was really fast or felt like a was flying. I really pushed here. I passed Colton and Nick here. And then on the last 200 I pushed as hard as I could. And then the last 100 meters Nick comes flying by me, and I tried matching his pace, but he got me by a WHOLE second. I tried my best the last lap. And I only finished at a 4:44. But it's a start! And my 2nd half was a 2:22. So even splits was good. 2 mile cool down after. 8x100 meters striders after. And then had weights. And then went to Dixie to talk to the Coachs about joining the team. And so far I think I am on the roster! So that's sweet!

Morning- 3 miles easy. Felt tired.

Afternoon- 10 miles with 24 minutes of AT tempo goal pace was 5:37. Did 3.35ish mile warm up. And then did the tempo splits were up and down. But I didn't have a total time running, so I just went for distance. And I thought I would end at 4.15 miles, so I did. And I went a little over 24 minutes of tempo. But my average pace was 5:52. Better than 2 weeks ago for the 24 minute tempo. I was sick last week's tempo, so I improved. 2.5 mile cool down. My body and legs hurt really bad after. So I stretched and rolled with all my heart after.

Morning- Warmed up, waited for a while. And we did this for our LT tempo, basically race. And my average pace was 5:29. Fastest, and closest i have been. I really slowed down alot on the second mile, but I had a solid last mile, and finish. So that's good. Cooled down to get mileage.

Morning- 1.5 mile warm up. 4x1600 meter repeats with 3 minute recovery. Splits were 5:30, 5:39, 5:40, and 5:46. Today I checked out mentally, and had no desire to push myself. I have a lot to say about this work out, and about myself. But it isall negative, so why say it? 1.5 mile cool down. Weights after.

Afternoon-3 miles super slow.

Morning- Nice and easy three miles. Felt good.

Afternoon- I figured out today was 200's instead of trail run, so I wore my virrata's again. 1.5 mile warm up, 16x200's equal recovery goal pace was :34 seconds. I was wearing my garmin to get splits, but it went all whack on me (I set it up wrong). So I just timed off other boys. I assume all my splits were from 32-34's for most of them. Probally a lot of 33's, and towards the end 32's, 31's, and maybe 30's. 1.5 mile cool down. Stretched and rolled out some, but not as much as I should be doing. And I felt pretty bad after the cool down. Like throwing up, but then I did core exercises, and I felt a little better. And I watched some Rocky Balboa, so I feel almost inspired, "It's not about how hard you can hit! It's about how hard you can and keep movin' forward, it's how much you can take, and keep movin' foward! that's how winnin' is done!"

Morning- 3 miles easy.

Afternoon- 6 miles total with 15 minutes of LT pace tempo. Goal pace once again was 5:17. 1.2ish mile warm up. And then started the tempo. I once on pace for about 1.45ish miles, and then I just backed off mentally. And I dropped down to 5:35's, instead of 5:15's-5:20's. My average pace was 5:30ish. There were some hills, and a crazy wind today... Cooled down till mileage. Weights were good.

Morning- Warmed up 2 miles. Ran the 9k, which was supposed to be 5.8 miles. But instead the leader person pacing on the bike thing turned the wrong way. And it ended up being almost 5 miles. We cut off a while mile basically. I expected atleast 1 more mile, and then we just finished all of a sudden. Once we took the wrong turn I could tell we were going the wrong way. I just naturally slowed down, because I was considering turning around. But my average pace was like 5:50-:54ish. I really don't know my average. But it just felt like a work out. Nothing more. I was mad about the course being cut short. So, I ran with some of the other guys doing the half for 4 miles. Jogged in between, and then would run with them for 0.25-0.5 for like 5:30 pace. So like a fartlek. So basically 6 or 7  miles of tempoish today.

Morning- 3 miles easy. Felt pretty peppy (like happy). Had plyos and those took a lot out of me in the morning.

Afternoon- WOW! 3 miles with 8x100 meter strides. Legs felt pretty good, considering I only ran the 9k last week. I felt pretty good. But it's getting a little too warm now... But I will learn to get used to it. And then had weights after the run. I also did the 110 Meter hurdles (hurdles were at lowest setting I think). But I only ran a 21.43! Ha! That's why I don't do hurdles, but I am ready to tear up the 200 tomorrow! >:D

Morning- 3 miles that were fastish. Yoga was pretty good. But I struggled with tiredness for some reason...

Afternoon- 6 miles with 4 farklets, to be honest they were all hard! I really struggle with "going fast". Like ALL OUT, speed, sprinting, whatever you call it. We were going fast on the farklets. And I went hard, and it was hard! Did a 200 for the decathon and got 26.64? And then I was like that's soo slow or me! So I tried again, and got 27! Haha! I was slower! But I was breathing hard core after the 2nd one. I am not in speed shape like 800 sprinting or killer mile! But once I am, I know, I am going to kill it! I believe! :)

Morning- 3 miles nice and easy.

Afternoon- 2 mile warm up. Kosmin text (60 seconds hard, 3 minute recvoery, 60 seconds hard, 2 minute recovery 60 seconds hard, 1 minute recovery, and then one and final hard 60 seconds!). My total distance was 1502 meters. I felt good and solid on the first one, and the second I felt ok. Started to get super tight, and tired. I really tried pushing on the third one, and didn't make much ground on the leaders. Last one hurt bad, but I tried pushing through and made a move at the back stretch, but shortly died out, and just kinda pushed it in as much as I could. My goal was to get 1,500. And I hit 1,502 so I was happy about that. Did the 100 twice today, because I was mad at my time, but I was slower again the 2nd time! :) HA! So after that I went on a 2.1ish mile cool down with Trevor, and I was really ticked about my work out, because I always talk about how I don't reach my full potential in anything. And Trevor talked to me about some ideas he uses, and did in high school. Had weights after. I was really mad during these, and I pumped as hard as I could with all I had!! I had a huge aderline! And then I stretched and rolled for 15 minutes, and it felt like it didn't do much... Time to start figuring out why I still run, and why I do.

Morning- 3 miles that wasn't that easy, but felt ok. We just went faster, espically for a morning practice.

Afternoon- 3 miles with striders. Well, lets just say I didn't want to run at all this afternoon, because of many reasons! I have been having a rough week, and "accidents" happening.... First personal problems, and then I go to the Boys Basketball game in Cedar, and some idiot hits my car putting a HUGE bump into my front bumper! And I am still ticked! What kind of idiot backs up into a car parked 10 feet away from them, and actually does damage and then!!! Doesn't put any info about them to fix the vehicle! So someday I will avenge people that do that! They will ALL PAY!!!!

Morning- 3 miles easy.

Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up. 10x400's with 2 minute recovery. Times were 1:17, :13, :12, :12, :11, :11, :12, :11, :10, :06. Goal pace was 1:09, but there was bit of a wind today, and just hard to breath a little (due to rain). But I felt tired after this work out. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. Cooled down 2.25 miles. And I think I had a good work out for the weather conditions. Tough day.
