Failures require the time to be studied

AM: Woke up this morning and dressed for the cold, then got out side and found out that it was actually pretty warm with the cloud cover.  But any ways, i had a weird pain in my lower calf, not quite to the achilies tendon but a little higher that felt exactly like shin splints, but on the back of the calf. Oh well i iced it while i ate and watched the news. I weighed my self and found that i was a little bit over weight for my stature and being a serious runner. So im going to track my weight and calories ill weigh my self after work outs.

PM: Got out to practice today and ran our warm up in my crocs! It was awesome! They felt pretty good for only paying 1dollar at the DI for them.  After me kimz and coach did the hostpital run with barefoots and lifting after.  Good solid day today! I weighed my self before my run at 141.1 then after at 138.7 and then after i took a long pee, 137.7. ha ha ha ha ha a whole pound of pee!

PM: Got the DI warm up in and then me and the boyz all hit 3 sets of 2X200 1X400. Times were all 33 and 68 except the last 400.  I broke out the Nike Zoom Victorys and got a feel for what they were going to be like. I ran a 59 easily, well not easily but i wasnt running it like a 400 race. Then DI cool, great day.  

AM: Easy AC with coach and kimz, cool temps. Legs are feeling not bad at all, really excited for 8X 1000's on friday!

PM: Got out to track and did the half mile warm up, then headed down to the trails.  Now when ever we hit the trails we know its going to be hard.  we did 4 sets of a 2min hard 1min recover 1min hard 30sec recover 30 hard 30 recover, . . then start over again. It got really hard on the last 2 min i was barley hanging onto kimz. But we made it through. then 1 mile of barefoot striders and lifting.

PM: Just an easy 5 today with bare foots at the end.  Stomach was kinda hurting, but other than that every thing is going great. Im excited for 1000's tomorrow.

AM: Easy AC with coach. No kimz today. Legs are feeling ready to work today. 

PM:  Warm up with the team, then did DI warm.  Me and kimz got down to the track and started our rough work out.  We did 8X1000 with 200 recovery jog.
