Nice work out, when i was running i thought my times were going to suffer because of the lungs, but not bad at all.

PM: 3 at work, nothing really to do so i ran up and down the rows, which are about .25 down and back.

AM: I got the late shift for work today so i got to sleep in an extra hour. I still wanted to get up early to beat the sun. Did a half mile on the bike then headed out side. After my two warm up, i started.

Mile 1- 5:34- I felt like i was going so slow, but im pretty proud of this one. Basically flat till the last 200 up hill.

Mile 2- 5:52 This one was a rough one, it starts kinda flat then shoots up hill at a 5% grade hill.

Mile 3- 5:26- Awesome time! I wasnt sure how well i was doing, i didnt dare look at my watch.

Mile 4- 5:32- Perfect!! I was really impressed with this one, it starts out with a little down hill shoot, then mostly up hill to the end!

Then a 2 cool. When i got home it was about time where my team mates at home were just getting started with the work out. Good luck Guys!!! STATE CHAMPS!!!

PM: Just three down the dead deer trail. Got its name when i wasnt really paying attention and i almost ran into a dead deer!!! Gross!!! smelt like some serious crap!

AM: easy 7 over to the town park, did some bare foot running, then headed back.

PM: Ran a few at work when it got slow

AM: Got a good nights rest and woke up around 6:45 this morning.  Got out did a half on the bike and 2 into town. Got started on my 4X2min. Did all of them feeling, okay. Got into the 6X1mins and i was flying till the last one. My lungs like stoped working. So i walked aound for a second still breathing way heavy, caughed. So i decided not to push the lungs any further. I want to actually finish the week.  On the last mile home i tempoed it, just for the heck of it. 5:35 pace.

PM: Its going to be hard to get 8 in today, but ill try my best. i know ill get at least 3.
