I did an easy run around city, first  I went a mile to the southeast, then I went back through my neighborhood and did 3 miles west and back. It was pretty easy, I felt really good, tendinitis is mostly gone. No aches or pains, I am now healthy. I picked up the pace for a mile during the run just because I was feeling good, I am in a good mood! I went to Panda Express after the run, orange chicken is incredible... Panda Express is the best! I also did 100 of those 6 inch leg pull sit up things Coach showed us last year, it was the first time I have done 100 of those in a row, great workout!!! I was partially doing those because I felt like I may have had too much orange chicken and fried rice haha. I am also going to do push ups later today, I need try doing push ups faster so I can build more power. I usually do reps slower because it builds up more strength but I am pretty sure doing them faster gives you more explosion and pop which I could use. 8 miles doesn't seem long at all anymore, it is amazing how much endurance I have built up this year, thanks Coach!

Later- I ran home with my brother from the rec center after playing wallyball, we picked it up for a while during in the middle of the run. It was 1.2 miles, it was a nice addition to my overall mileage for the day.
