Failures require the time to be studied

Went to go run with the club at 5 but it didnt look like any one was coming so i just keept going out towards dog town.  From there i looped it down into washingtong then back up dog pound then home.

PM: Danny boy and me set out towards middleton and found this road that had do not enter sighns on it. . . . so we ran on that road till my watch read 3.5.  One of these days im going to get to the end of that road.

PM: Around 12 me and Danny headed out towards little valley. Danny turned around at 4 and i kept going. I went out to Ashleys house to help them move their large furniture.  Then headed back.  Awesome run! I was quick and didnt really get tired. about a 6:45 pace

PM: I finally get to get out and run with my boys all together.  But wait, its just coach kory and me. hmm people need to get out and run!  But we had a decent run today. started to flury right in the middle of the run so it made it that much colder.

PM: 5 down by the arcric circle trail run.  Super easy run, not sure why but i was ready to run 10.  I like those days. Then some bare foots and lifting after.

Ya coach i just did that.  My watch read 7.01 when i got done going back and forth to the car!  BUT any way, today we did ( for lack of a better name)  the Z loop and an 800 add on.

PM: Had the opporitunity to head out into middleton with the buddies and do some trail running out there. Just a perfect day to be out running.  50 degreese and good friends to run with. Im actually pretty excited for our mile tempos comming up next week. Ya they are going to be hard but really. . . i quite enjoy hard work outs.  I think of how much better it makes me.

PM: We headed out to look for a nice hill that was a gradual climb to do some hill speed.  We found one over kinda by the middle school and decided to go with it.  This was a great work out. yes it was really tough, but i have a coach and team mates that are in all this with me so i actually enjoyed my self pretty well.  All 10 of them ranged from 1:10 to 1:20. Nice solid 10X400's. And then cool down back to the school.

AM: Woke up early to head out to the dixie center and run with the club guys. We all headed out to do the half course. Pretty chilly for the first mile.  I really enjoyed running with some other people, its kinda nice.  My legs were ready to die about at mile 8, i could still keep going but if i had the chance to stop  i would have. But im not as sore as i thought i would be after yesterdays work out.

PM: Today we headed out and did the middleton trail into green springs then back.  Foot is feeling better than i thought it would today so thats good.  Stomach fine. But my quads are still drained from saturday and friday.

Foot is feeling excelent today i was excited to run but i had an emergency call in towork. :(

PM: Easy 6 out on the trail with decker holt and kimz.  Foot felt good while running but as soon as i took the shoe off it started hurting. So more ice and drugs.  Stomach was killing the whole run.  Ill have to look into that one. 

PM: Went out to the club to run 7!!! lo and behold we go farther.  ha ha oh well. Hopefully my race will go well on saturday.  Run fast enough to blow crap out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM: just an easy 5 out to the semitary and back.  On the way back did some fartlecks at under race pace to get the legs ready for tomorrow.  Plan is to go all balls and have some fun.

AM: Easy warm up with coach.  Then the race started. I headed out to the front to start my race all by my self.  Basically that was the whole race. Nothing really exciting. However i thought it was pretty funny that one of the turns wasnt marked and i totoally stoped for 10 seconds. So if it wasnt for that i might have been able to push out a 16:20 or something. But still i had loads of fun in this race. Would have been more fun with corey in it but noooooooooo corey "Forgot" to sighn up. >:( oh well. He is definatly doing spectrum with me.

AM: Woke up this morning feeling good mentally but im pretty sore from the race.  I got out and headed down to the dam road and then flipped it back to my house.  Solid under 7 pace the whole way which means that i do have energy, but its the beggining of the speed stuff such as mile tempos and my body enduring harsh milage weeks.  Im way excited to get into our winter program.

PM: First day of our mile tempos.  Me and kimz did 2 with a 100 rest jog in between.  Our first one was way fast.  We didnt really know how fast we were going.  I guess thats what the huge thing on my wrist is for. But our first one was 5:25 then we came around for out second one at 5:32.  Then jog back to the school.

PM: Easy foremaster 6 with coach and kimz. Then barefoots and lifing after.  foot felt perfect all run till barefoots then it killed. then after it felt fine.  so obviously its support related.

PM: Went out to roller coaster trail.( shnob ki ) i dont know how to spell it.  Just me kimz and decker.  The dedicated ones to the team.  jk  but seriously.  Felt okay.  My quads, and boobies are way sore from work out yesterday. But some rest and endurox will do me some good.

PM: Nice rainy day today, perfect for repeats.  We warmed up out to the hill and imediatly got started.

Good solid times. Nothing bad about the work out, felt great as far as the stomach goes.  Then cool down back to the school. great run.

AM: Woke up this morning, got tyler then we went to the running center to run with the old guys. ( not really old, but old to us ) Tyler did a nice 3 and the rest of us did the washington feilds loop then back to the running center.  Great run. Quads were totally out the whole run.  my calves had to push through most of the run. But loads of fun still.

PM: Hill intervals today with kimz and surprisingly a lot of other people that should have been out earlier.  But these sucked so bad! I was wasted from old man hills and our 12 on saturday.  But today will be better now that i am warmed up for the week!

PM: Green springs 6 with the team. Way tired from lack of sleep but not to tired from running. 800 s tommorrow.

PM: Easy 3 warm up with coach, then i hit up some 800's by my self.  Times kinda stunk. . . . so ya. I dont think im made for running by my self. then 2 cool.

PM: Club run tonigh with the older peps.  Nothin special today. Felt like a freaking piece of crap the whole last half. My quads are dead. Screw lifting.  But after i went and took an ice bath in the pool and bout lost the boys on that one. But now i feel better. some endurox and many minutes of the stick and i should be ready to go tomorrow.

PM: Actually all day i was really excited to get this work out started.  Me coach kimz and tyson did DI warm up then got right into it.

1- 3:19- Felt nice, got out and got used to the distance

2- 3:18- Little fast, was working to catch coach

3- 3:22- Slowed down as instructed, pain is starting to get there

4- 3:24- Little too slow, but not bad

5- 3:23- Working hard to get even splits

6- 3:18- Pushing the pace to stick to coach.

All in all great work out, no complaints.  Allthough i dont think im going to cram in a whole bannana and two shot blocks.
