Mondays suck... Well because they are our endurance days.  Today we did 6x1000 meters on the track.  Coach had me hitting about a 5:15 pace.  The first few were doable.  The last 3 were getting freakishly hard.  When he said we were done at 6 intervals, I praised the heavens.  Just goes to show though that I can definitely do the 5k faster.

Ran 13th to South Temple to 7th East to 17th South to Westminster.  I stayed at a 7:03 pace and felt like poop.  My stomach was not happy with my afternoon run.  Did some core, push ups and pull ups afterward.  Feels good to have finished that.

And look!  I updated my page!  I am cooler now.

12x400 at Highland HS track today.  I am feeling a bit under the weather so I was a little concerned.  I was able to run just fine though.  There was some beastly wind that made it more difficult but not bad other than that.

We did a step-down type work out.  First 4 were 77-78, next 4 were 74-75, last four were 71-72.  I actually was running the first four in under 77's.  We had about 2 mins rest in between I think. At the meet this last week I was shooting for 78's which would put me in the low 16 minute range for the 5k.  I hit 80's unfortunately.  I figured if I can hit under 78 for all 12 of these with trainers on and in wind without competition, then I can definitely race at a 78 pace or better.  Quit being a pansy on race day David! >:O

Got some motivation from someone special :)  Did the stairmaster for 50 minutes today and perspired like a beast monster.  Good cross training!

I feel like poop.  I am sick so my runs aren't quite as enjoyable.  I still managed to squeeze out a 7:30 pace though.

Today was very strange.  When I got to 1.5 miles I started feeling really weird.  It was like an outer body experience.  Kinda numb and fuzzy.  I was afraid I might pass out so I stopped for a minute.  Every time I started running after a light it would feel the same.  I made it down to Temple Square where I downed a power gel.  I started running up South Temple and was feeling much better (didn't feel like I was going to pass out).  It was probably the caffeine in the power gel to be honest.

I hit about 9 miles when I got to Westminster.  I saw our assistant track coach running toward Sugar House park so I chased after her.  It was windy and she had her iPod in so she couldn't hear me.  I came up from behind and grabbed her arms and she freaked!!!  It was quite entertaining.  Happy I got 12 in at least.  I didn't think I was going to make 4!
