USU

hello everyone! sorry ive been slacking on my updating lately! i'll give a quick summary after todays run details (for my future kin looking at my runs;)                                                                                                                                                    anyways today we did our am run with 3 miles and afternoon we headed down to the river trail to do our 10 mile run with 30 min tempo. did really well untill about minute 23 when my explosive stomach problems kicked in. i tried to make it to the maverick closest to us but i coulent do it. i ducked behind a rock and let it flow. i then picked the dead grass and wiped. sorry for the details. but i started again and kept an okay pace the rest of the way. i ran with able who also had stomach problems. i know that i could have kept my 5:40 pace the whole way if i didnt have problems though and that helps my confidence! i iced my foot good tonight.

 so these last few weeks have been some of the toughest running weeks i have ever had. our mile repeat mondays have been chalanging but me and casey have been able to blast them! im no longer woried about the future of the repeats because i know that i'll be able to do them. trail tuesdays have been super fun, and im trying to keep my foot and ankle in one peice;) wednesday river trail tempos have been the toughest part of the runing lately but i know im getting better at them and i still have my confidence. the stomach problems have been stupid though but i think i can deal with that too by going durring my 4th period class instead of right before practice so we'll see (again, sorry about my detailed bowl movement problems;) i like old man hill thursdays so im looking forward to those. easy fridays are heaven and saturday tempos arent too bad. im really looking forward to seeing all my hard work pay off! lately my extensor tendons in my right foot have been very swoled and inflamed and i took a couple days off durring its worst. ive been taking care of it reallywell and its progressing. thankfully it dosent affect my running very much. so the winter training continues in its tough glory but im confident in my ability to kick its ace! just keep running i guess! and thats the end of my ranting everybody! goodnight....baby!

am: matt and dave made me 5ish minutes late. i bet i was pushing sub 6 min. pace for 1.5 of the 3 miles to catch up but it felt good! we did plyos after.               

   pm: 7 miles with old mans hills. we did 1x800 2:43 2x400 both 1:16 and 4x200 :36 :36 :35 :34.

felt good but pretty tired in the legs and i was having trouble brething 100% but still kept up well and kept it solid. we did our lifting after

nice easy run today. passed out flyers and had a few laughs!

good race today. pushed it really hard and was confused about my slow time but the race ended up being long! finished about 10 secs behind mike and 5 behind tommy. abel was right behind me. pv dominated!
