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.

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- 3 miles. Book discussion about amazing things! Burning of the candle!

Afternoon- 5 miles on some trail. But it was way fun! And I felt amazing!

Morning- 3 miles.

Afternoon- 3 miles with 8x100 meter strides.

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.
