Was short on time cause going to dinner. had planned on first running on treadmill during lunch, but REALLY was so unappealing that i just couldn't do it. Then i was going to run after work on treadmill but it still remained unappealing. Ended up running up to the bench lookout at terre haute. Decided to time trial. Took a slight short cut to make the full distance 1.83 miles instead of the standard 1.86. Got to the top in 16min 32 sec (9:04 pace). Found out that almost exactly 1yr ago i did the 1.86 miles in 16min 27 sec. Have been stretching my right tendon behind my knee and it felt much less tight today. it has been very bothersome for a couple weeks now. hopefully this hard run will get me back into running fast again. it's so hard after a devastating race like escarpment to have the energy and drive like before.

| warmed up 0.5 miles then did a time trial to the bench overlook at terre haute. was a bit sticky but apparently warming up before going as hard as you can makes you go faster. i got through the first mile, the top of climb one ~350 vertical feet in 8:01. i admittedly was dead at that point. touched bench in 15:58, breaking my previous record of 16:27 set last year. and faster than the 16:32 i ran on a shortcut trail a couple days ago. ran back down on a different trail for 2.3 miles. |

| just went for a trail walk yesterday, wasn't in the mood to run. am ran to topstone park and did loop 5.5 miles after work ran with brother at huntington park 6.5 miles. challenged each other on the last hill, want to blame it on my tight right tendon under the knee but i got crushed. i even gave up. it was my most embarrasing showing ever and was scary. i have zero speed. |

| 4.75 miles am, ran to stormfield did raccoon lane then down captain's trail. explored another
trail but it was overgrown and gave up trying to follow it through the swamp. had planned on running during lunch, even doing a tempo run on treadmill. brought my lunch only to remember there was a company barbecue. thus no run at lunch! pm ran 1.28 miles with kristin at huntington , then hiked 2.

am, been snoozing my alarm twice. supposed to wake up at 615 but haven't been getting out of bed till 640! did usual topstone park loop, 1.8 miles on trails. 4.75 miles total. pm ran after work time trial to terre haute bench. it was cool out in the upper 60's and i figured it was as good a day as any to go for my pr up the mtn. warmed up 0.7 miles, had to poop in woods. did. had tp which was good. even had hand sanitizer in the car. anyway so i decided i would be more conservative and not stupidly go out too fast then die in the last 1/2 mile uphill. I held back a little and got to the 1 mile mark (the top of the first hill) in 8:02. i remember last week i got here in 8:01. didn't feel gone yet like last time. got to the bottom of the second hill in ~9:52. felt pretty good on second climb and touched bench in 15:40! 18 sec faster than last week. i did have my trail racers so that certainly helped as did the cool weather and low mileage. there were a couple of annoying downed trees that made me end up going 1.88 miles instead of the normal 1.86. (8:20 pace today)
ran back down for 4.45 miles. got back home ran 1.0 miles with kristin on road. Then had dancing lesson

5.22 miles am, explored a trail i hadn't been on in the rock lot. it sucked and came out on a road. it really really sucked. pm warmed up 0.5 miles at terre haute then time trialed to the bench. didn't bring my gps watch so had to use my phone as a stopwatch. got to the top in 15:41, 1 sec slower than earlier in the week but not bad. ran back to car ~2.08 miles |
