| Nice run out towards the carterville loop. The dirt trail portion was pretty muddy and icy, so that kept things interesting. Highlight of the day: Delicious 7 course meal put on by Kelsey's stake! What a treat!

| Nice 6 mile loop with Joseph, always good to run with him. The weather was warm so I was wearing a tank top with a light running jacket over the top of it. After 6 miles with Joseph, I took off the jacket to do the last 4 in just the tank top. Of course, as soon as I did that, a cold rain started to come down. Fortunately it only lasted for about 10 minutes, and I didn't freeze to death. I also love how the sample pair of the Duo feels, so nice on a long run.

| Struggled through a tempo run today. Motivation was not high, but it picked up as I got running. The tempo run itself was ok, the time for 3 miles was about 18:20 or something like that. That wasn't my goal time, but I wasn't mad about it. I was glad I at least got out there and did it, and there were definitely some hills involved, as well as a headwind for the last half of it. Call it excuses, I'm just going to call it the conditions, and adjust my expectations accordingly haha

| Wow! It was so cold today! Ran the campus loop with Sam, and then tacked on an extra mile. Sam and I had a good converstation about the book King Leopold's Ghost, and also on the importance of history. Later that night we had a little presentation that we were going to give to a little club thing, but only 3 people came (cousin Jake and Boochy were too of them haha). So my dream of inspiring people to read a good book and learn from it didn't come true. Maybe I should start a book club, or join one or something. It was a good converstation though, and I just gotta say, I'm glad I like to read. I think it's important to do and critical to be as informed as we possibly can about the world we live in, and history is a big part of that.

| So not a lot of mileage today, but it was cool mileage!! I was part of a study testing the efficiency of 6 different shoes that had varying stiffness to them. I got to wear a mask that measured my oxygen consumption, and was running on a treadmill that had force plates in it and stuff. I kinda felt like the Drago from Rocky 4, so that was cool. This week I just ran at 9 minute pace, but I'll do it again next week and run at 6 minute pace.

| Part 2 of the study that I am participating in. This time was a tougher workout than the last, they had me run 6x5min repeats at 6min/mile pace. I had two minutes rest between repeats, to switch shoes and whipe the sweat off my forehead. It was a ton of fun, I felt like Drago from Rocky 4, except for a tiny bit less buff, just a tiny bit though.
Couple of things I found from the study: Shoes with a stiffer carbon fiber plate are metabolically more effecient for me. I also found that my VO2 was about 54 or something around there when running at 6 min pace. That doesn't tell me much about my VO2 max, but just cool to know I guess.

| It was hard to get out and run today. Even though I wasn't doing a tempo run or anything like that, I just wanted to go fast anyway. I think I will do that more, because I don't have a ton of time to run, so this is probably the best way to get somewhat decent workouts and mileage in.

| I did 4x800m repeats today. I really liked the spot where I did them (around the temple) because it was uphil for the first half of the repeat and downhill for the second. It was really good hill training.

| Let my cousin Jake try out the Instinct 4.5, he really liked them. Very busy day, fortunate to get a run in.

| Good tempo run today. Averaged 6:05 pace with the tempo run being net uphill, so that was good. I had the classic tempo run stomach sensation, and was working through that. I need to figure that out, because that usually seems to be the limiting factor for me. Maybe I'll get some insight in my Exercise Physiology class.

| Quick campus loop run. I played hard in pickleball this morning, I'm playing again this afternoon, and I've got a lot of studying to do for biochem.
