USU

mile repeats today on the dirt mile. goal times were 6:50. this was the first repeat session (3 repeats) that i actually had a hard time going slow enough! the first one was like 6:15, 2nd was 6:30 then 6:40. I mean come on! i do this pace on shorter runs for the whole 4 or 5 miles sometimes! oh well, the are going to get alot harder

grass run

30/30s today. last week we did 40 of them (coach made us max at 40) but this week coach told us to make our recovery much more active, so abel and i kept together and recovered much more actively, in fact, we didnt stop to walk, or even catch our breath once! last week we did about 50 meters recovery and stoped to wait to go for 5 to 10 seconds but this week abel and i woud recover 75meters, and sometimes even almost 100 meters and we would just go when coach yelled for the 30 seconds to start. let me tell ya, that made a HUGE difference! i was struggling at #13, and it felt like the 30 sec. hards were way faster than last time! its crazy what 5 seconds of rest will do for ya, but in this workout you shouldent be doing that. abel and i dropped at 20, but we could have done a little bit more. next weeks goal is 25! 

i bought some asics gell lyte 33 2's today, much better than the first gells. i like em!  

ran in my new asics, very comferable and pretty light! didnt hurt my plantar even for a hilly run so thats a good sign!

we went 6 miles down to hells hole, and turned left ant the fork for the ups and downs of the half marathon course mile 3 to 4.5 or something like that. the way up was strong! like 7:30 pace. the way back was something like 6:15 averagge pace but with all the downhill its hard not too! impressed with kyler, krenny and daves performance 

ran out in green valley/bloomington today. 8 miles with an average pace of like 7:45 to 7:30 or something (i finally ordered a new garmin strap to replace my broken one and it got here wednesday so i finally know my paces!)

we went out on the river trail then me, krenny and matt decided to make it a loop through bloomington. the loop turned out to be 6 miles so we went out and back another 2 miles.

I've really been suprised seeing how  much i can do compared to even a year ago! i remember this time last year i had a hard time keeping up on a 7 milerun, and even had to stop a few times and now i look at myself and my breathing wasent forced whatsoever even for a good pace durring a 8 miler early in the training season! the only time i breathed hard was when matt decided to pull a 6:10 last mile! i'm pretty confident that i'll be in really good shappe for the race season! 

woke up this morning to run but I remembered i'm doing a late night run today, so i finished the yardwork i was told to do like 2 months ago. 

now, i'm going to spend the next 3 hours updating approximate mileage from track season, and do a quick recap on all my races! make it worth my whyle and read my races at least;) DONT PROCRASTINATE THE DAY OF YOUR BLOG UPDATE!!!! 

all done updating! it only took 2 hours! go to the last day of may for the whole sh-bang.  you dont need to read the races though, i can hardly remember anything about them! 

so we had a night run, abel krenny hunter and I. ran by the shone estate/castle/whatever and went to her vacant neighbors house and pool hopped. to our suprise we hopped the wall the same time a group of foul mouthed adolecant delinquants were hopping the other side! so we had pool buddies for a second. we chilled in the pool for a minute or two, did some flips off the diving board then continued on our night run.  afterwards we went to sonic for half off shakes, i got coconut creme pie, soooooo delish yall have to try it. i think i got jipped on the price though, hunter also got a medium and his was like 50 cents less than mine! maybe they had to import the coconut from tahiti or somethin. thats seriously how good it was. 

placed an order for some neon green and yellow connect 2's to replace my warn down red ones, more infamously named the "infernos"

name ideas for the new ones coming in?
