Just do it

Spring Break is in progress which means no organized practice.  That means that we have to do the workout on our own... That means it sucks.  Speed work by yourself is never fun.  He had me doing fartleks today.  Went to Liberty and did 6x3 mins hard with 2 mins recovery jog in between.  I was keeping an AP of low 5:40's during the 3 mins.  My legs aren't totally fresh after Saturday but it was a good workout.

During one of my recoveries, a skateboarder came by and said, "Dude... How fast can you run??  Just wondering... You were bookin it a second ago!"  If any of you know how to respond to that question then let me know.  I wasn't sure if he wanted a mile time, a race time, MPH, or AP so I just said, "I dunno" and continued on my merry way. 

  <--- Did everyone see my new picture??  Look at the hot babe who came with me to my meet! Woooey! 

Ran up toward the zoo and back.  Stopped at the school to do 6x15 seconds strides.

Today sucked.  I needed to do 400's so I figured I would just go to the track and knock it out.  Went to the base track... Covered in snow... Went to the Northridge track... Covered in snow.  Dang it!  So I went back to base and did my warm up on the indoor track.  400 would have been 2.25 laps so I took off to do that.  I made it one lap and stopped.  Those corners were going to break my legs.  No...  So I ended up running along the perimeter road doing fartleks instead.  I did 15x1 minute hard with 1 minute easy in between.  Kinda sucked but I got through it.  Glad I just finally got a workout in.

I ellipticalled today for 50 minutes.  We have a PFA tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.  I am thinking around 7:40's for the mile and a half.

ROTC Fitness Assessment today.  1 min of sit ups and push ups (67/58) and then a 1.5 mile run.  We ran the 1.5 on the new U track so that was pretty nice.  The weather was also really nice.  I I ran a 7:40.  I was on pace for a 7:30 but I got really tired at the mile.  I was happy with it though.  I then did 4.5 miles after that.

What a day!  I woke up at 6:40 and ran down to the Capitol and around back through the avenues and back to my house.  I was feeling a bit tired today due to my lovely 1.5 miler yesterday.  I ran for about 1:45.  I had a power bar gel pack but that didn't make a huge difference.  I was running late too.

When I got home I had to throw my clothes on and run out the door to meet Becca to go skiing/snowboarding all day!  Talk about throwing your legs into the meat grinder.  It was so much fun though!  I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with the super hot babe. My legs kinda hurt now though.
