was going to run early but definitely no motivation when my miles are so low. couldn't wake up and snoozed for over an hour. had a midterm and then did a tempo run half of it was dark.

33:44 on the 5 mile loop starting up limekiln. last mile was exactly 7 min pace. Don't know any other splits. Could have been stronger at the end but went out too fast i think. no warm up and no cool down. At least i can go under 35 mins still :)

it's pretty cool that the loop starting from my house and running up the dirt road first is EXACTLY 5 miles. i ran this in the morning before work so could only muster a 34:46. I don't think i got a minute slower in 2 days! and i don't think the run is harder in this direction, i'd say it was easier.

ran another mile after works and hiked some trying to get my friend into running.

ran at terre haute after work and re-explored the trails. going at an easy pace brings you to about 12+ mins/mile. it's pretty ridiculous. felt pretty good though and for the first time didn't feel any stiffness in my tendon. i could hit 30 this week!!!!!!! :)

during the run i decided i'm NOT going to do a difficult 50 mile race i signed up for in May. It's just too devastating to have to take a month off and rebuild again. it seems like a lot of fellow ultra runners can recover quickly but in my experience from running ultras for in my 5th year now, i don't seem to be able to recover any faster. i should really only do 1 or 2 a year and not in the middle of racing season. my next race will be the knee knackering north shore trail run in vancouver in july! it's only 30m. need to get back in shape for that and hope i don't get sick again for race day.

1hr 26 mins for 6.7 miles :)

I keep exploring the trails behind the office park and there keep seeming to be more and more trails made by invisible motorbikes. I think i'm close to having a good trail racing course but there is one bad section that i need to find my way around. I somehow managed to get on a trail that disappeared suddenly after gaining 150ft in 0.1 miles. definitely a good workout. it's creepy when its getting dark and there's no one around and the trees creak.
