Failures require the time to be studied

AM: Woke up feeling like crap, but went to acceleration any ways. did the work out and felt amazing after. 

PM: Went to school and was feeling fine, then i started to feel sick again. . . . thought i could over power it this morning at acceleration. will get to sleep early tonight and ice my foot and legs. they are way sore.  

AM: Got over to the dome and watched a few races, then got checked into the mile. I warmed up with steve, robby, and some other kid just around the track for 15 min. then we got into the mile. I dont remember much, but i do remember falling a little back then catching up with the lead group and ended up some where middle pack. 4:35 official time though, so i was really excited from that! Then later in the day i did the 800, and got 2:04, legs were pretty hammered. im almost certain i can go sub 2 in the 8 on fresh legs and later in the year. Then we did a 4x800 and i ran a 2:10, whew! i was hammered by the end!!!

AM: Today we did 10 min warm and cool, then we did 3X 1 min at 5:50 pace, on 8% hill. and some other shorter stuff at 5 min pace.

PM: Parkway desert 8- Today was just a great day to go out for a run. The ground was moist and everything was good. My foot was hurting during the run, but not that bad. Then we barefooted it and called it a day.

PM: Michigan 9- Threshold work today. We did the quicker miles at 5:50 pace, and the slower sections 6:20 pace. Great work out! Lifting

PM: College grass loops10- Today we headed out to the college to run on the grass bare foot.  Wow. . . . i knew i was tired from lifting and everything yesterday, but wow! im hammered. Rough run, but i was easy pace and i had team mates with me to intertain me.

PM: trial to no where w/add on 6- Today we hit up the trail to no where. Im still pretty sore from lifting on tuesday. But thats okay, you just got to deal with it! :)

PM: Ryans run 7.5- Today we headed out on ryans trail. Nothing to special about the run. feeling a lot better than i did yesterday. :) Bare foots after

AM: Prospecter 15- Headed out from coaches house at 8 and ran out by church rock, and hooked onto prospecter trail. Just a great run, not to hard. Just enjoyed talking with my friends. :)

AM: Acceleration

PM: 3 Around the hood! 

AM: Pretty hard day at acceleration. Plyos are marked up to 210 percent of body weight! Its rough, and some long runs on the tred mill of death! Its so boaring. :)

PM:  First official day of track. Decent number of boys, very sad amount of girls. But thats why we start early so we can get more out! :) But any ways, we talked about some basics and then we headed out to do old man hills. :) we did 5X (2X200 1X400) I didnt get the garmin today so i didnt get my times. I just had a great work out, ran really strong at the first and was thinking i might burn out, but i just kept digging, hitting times all close to each other. Then of course the last ones were a bit faster. I think about a 1:11 on the last 400. Just a great work out, I brought my A game. ;)

Man week was looking fine! i was going to hit like 65 this week, but im glad i didnt. After the work out yesterday my stomach was hurting way bad. So i went to the doctors and did a blood test then sent me home. The called at like 12 and said i needed to come in the next day to do more tests. So i went in at 10 am and did the CT scan. I had to drink the nasty barium stuff, but it wasnt as bad as its hyped up to be. Then they said that i was too skinny to read how much swelling there was. So i did and ultrasound, which found fluid comming out of the appendix. So the preped me for surgery and i went in at about 10pm and got done and out of the hostpital at 11:30. :) Dosnt it just sound like a super fun day!!!! ;)
