Fast Running Soldier

Good run from the BYU Fieldhouse down Univeristy to the Riverwoods then up to Paslisades Dr. and down onto Carterville Rd. and back. Averaged 7:25. Felt pretty flat through first 3.5 miles. I think it comes from adding additional miles 6 days a week. 

Started a nice run with Sasha, Jeff, and Ted. Ted and I ran 6 miles and finished with about a 7:27 average. We came back the last three miles at about a 7:06. After that run I went out with an Army buddy getting ready for Airborne school and did 4 miles with him at a 9 min average. All and all it was nice to hit 10 miles today. Hopefully I will be able to keep up this higher mileage.

 Hit this at a 7:35 pace. I was feeling pretty tired and flat...probably from the higher miles the two days before. But I tried to stick to it and finished pretty good. Don't you hate having the urge to go to the bathroom during a run?! I hate it, especially towards the end when you don't want to stop. Haha, another fun event during a run!

Today was really flat the first half mile, but picked up. Ran with Sasha, Jeff, and Ted. Ted and I ran 6 miles and averaged a 7:16 pace. The last three miles we averaged just under 7 min. pace which was nice. I wasn't sure I would have it in me after a week with this many miles. I think that this is the highest mileage I have done in a week so I am feeling pretty pumped about it!

I do have a question if there is anyone reading my blog. Behind my right knee I have a sore spot. It kind of feels swollen or like a lump of some kind. It isn't in the knee itself, but behind the knee. I think that it might be tendonitis, because I can't really stretch my right ham string without it flaring up. Does that like tendonitis?
