Become to Be

Afternoon- Ran some killer Sun-rise hills! 5 times all about 0.25 up and 0.25 down. So 0.5 total for 1 set. And on the first 3 I felt junky, sluggish, and just felt outta shape.... But on the 4th one I just pushed and told myself one more after this! So I did pretty good on this one! On the 5th one! I was like alright! Suck it up and just do it! So I have to say,"I ran this one on all guts!" Just going, and digging! Remember I am feeling like crap!!! Just wanna puke! But great run! Almost died at the top of each one... But great running experience! Hopefully I feel better tomorrow...

Morning- Felt great! 3 miles! Starting up mornings again! Just can't wait till I get back in the habit!!!! I am already kinda getting back in it!

Afternoon- 7 miles with long hill. Stepped up the pace a little bit for about 3ish miles. And felt a lot better today than yesterday!!! Just feels good to just go fast! Just to go, and not think about it! Just keep the legs rolling! Not to think about it! Just run, and have fun as you are in pain! Enjoy it!!!! Great run! 

Morning- Nice and easy 3. Felt great to run in the mornings again!

Afternoon- 5 miles with striders! Felt great! I just realized that I can 3 miles without even breathing hard... Like on mile 3ish I was talking like a real conversation!!! It's super funny, because last year I could not do that! And now I can?!? Yeah! Now I can! Which means my breathing is better, or I have gotten better! Probally both!!! So it's a winwin! Just keep running great! Felt great!

Morning- Nice and easy 3. For one morning I was loud! Felt weird, but I regretted it in 1st period...

Afternoon- Had 7.25 mileage. And had a work out. With 2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down. Felt great! These were in minutes (1,2,3,4,3,2,1). So like a pyramid! Felt great! 1,2,3 were all strong, but a little slow. And I started to get where I should be on 3's rest! And after that like on 4,3,2,1. I was right where I should be! And people were getting tired! So I started passing a few. And I could tell I could give more! But I realized something in this work out, because we had a little surge for 10-30 seconds of each one. And just like in a race. You settle to a pace. And you just give it a little surge, and hold that pace!!!! And I realized that if I start out fast, but controlled. I can later give more, and kick more! But it goes both ways! Just not kill the first mile.... But make it fast! Then kill the next 2!!!

Afternoon- 7 miles with roll coasters. Felt great. Leg is bugging me a little, but not too much. I remember these being a lot worse, but they were not that bad. And I am getting a lot faster! Casey gave me some really great advice, which I plan to bring through! Great run, and great day!

Afternoon- Today I was really tired, and just didn't really want to run... But I finally just got up, and started to run! And I am really glad that I started going, because like after 1 mile I started feeling the energy again like usual! And I started just going a little faster, because I felt great! And ran up dirt mile, then down to David's and looped it back to Turner Turf farm, and did that again without David, but went to Heck Hole. And did some nice old fartleks! They were great! Timed these in periods of 2 minutes. And the first one was solid, but controlled. Next one was really pushing just going fast. Like a work out. And the last one was all out up hill! Felt great! Last one, reminded me about racing! Just starting to hurt, having that pain there! I like to see how much pain I can take! So every time I started to feel pain, I just sped up to hurt more! Love doing it! I don't know why!!! But I love it! And I always have too much energy.... But I got thinking and it's like when I put the energy to focus. Into mental power I just can do anything!!! At region I did that! And just thinking back on it. It always gives me the chills!!! Like right now.... Brrr cold! But great run!
