Brighton High/Rec center loop with 2.5 on the tread mill at the rec center. I ran 5:24 mile on the treadmill, although I forgot the incline... still it was kind of tough, I think I will do a sub 5 later this week. This year my return to track won't be embarrasing. I had stomach cramps again. I took on my 6 foot 5 coworker in basketball, he shot 5-7 from beyone the 3 point arc, and he stuffed me on 8 layup attempts. It was really really hard to put up points because he's so tall and right now I am doin really bad a jump shots and 3s. I completely kept him out of the key though, all his points were 3s and jump shots, I can't block those because I would have to jump. So the final score was 7-21, although he is better than a lot of the guys of the olympus basketball team so I guess I shouldn't feel to bad. Good day!

I did the Brigthon/rec center loop the oppisate way that I usually go, the rec center was closed when I ran so I didn't use the tread mill, after the loop I ran around in my neighborhood for another 1.2 miles.  I ran the entire run stiking with the right part of my foot, I wasn't heel striking at all. It felt weird but down hill is a lot more effective when running like that.

I ran up to the rec center and I did .5 before I tried to do a 5 minute mile, the tread mill wouldn't go faster than 5 minute pace. I did the first half mile but I really wasn't feeling up to it today, my ankle hurts, my shin hurts, my stomach was cramping up, lots of aches and pains. And I had very little sleep last night and have been snowmobilling all day. I took a small break and then did another 2:30 half mile. Now that I am thinking about it, a 5 minute mile on that is more like 4:50 for a 1600m... but I will try again on saturday when I will hopefully be feeling a lot better. Next two days are long runs.
