AM: Diana and Mellisa wanted to snipe this 4 mile race where the past 5 years 1rst place has been 5:30 pace and 2nd place has been 6:30+ pace. And there was money. Unluckily 3 brown track members showed up as well as 2 other hot shot locals. So I tempoed hard and barely beat diana lol. We did 2 miles up, 2 down, then ran 4.5 after the awards to get our mileage in.
AM: Feeling pretty good. Went to track team party last night which was wild in a very bad way. Got home around 3am. Thank god for this BS community health rotation. No way could I have done anything this morning. Woke up at 7 still drunk, ate breakfast, went back to bed, woke up at 11am and went for the run.
The weight situation is going well though this weekend was questionably compliant with my diet. So I need to remotivate. Have seen 165 twice now while somewhat dehydrated. Its a process I just need to keep at it.
AM: Finally got hit by a car. Ive been waiting for this to happen for years. Im not hurt. It was pretty funny really. The idiot was making a right turn onto the street i was running on so he was just looking left. I thought he saw me but there he went and down I went on the hood of his car. I half bounced, half rolled off the hood and just kept running without even looking back. Other than that Im feeling decent but calorie deprived. Perfect...
PM: was able to do the real haynes classic route for once because the graveyard was open after 5 for some reason. Feeling thinnish, but not fast. There is time for that.
Ugh diets suck. Feel like shit, not eating hardly anything. Can barely get through my runs. Then the same weight pops up day after day after day. I guess a few days ago I was super excited about 165 and now im frustrated by it. And I have been eating a lot of soup which is high in sodium which will make me hold on to more water, so maybe its better than it seems. Just gotta stick with it.
PM: red rooster ramble 31:44 so slow. biked there and back. but on the upside when i got back, tired and more than a little dehydrated i weighed in at 163. sure, mostly it was dehydration, but its good to see the number.
AM: 3.65 - gonna even out my doubles a bit soon as the undergrads are gone and I dont have ppl to run with in the afternoons who want to do 8. Will look at different possible courses but want something like 5 and 7 or just under on one of those.
PM: Jesus christ its hot. Prerun weight 165, Postrun weight 160. Im gonna have to start reporting both in order to give an accurate picture because im losing too much water during the run for only a postrun weight.
AM: thinking about using this roger williams park loop as my only distance route. Its 5.9 miles so twice a day would make 11.8 not bad. And that saves me a lot of the pain of running long in the evening heat. Would prefer a 5 mile morning and 7 mile evening loop but there arent many good courses leaving from my house that would work.
PM: 5.9 same course. So good splitting it up more evenly. Makes it so much more manageable. Might make the afternoon one longer and the morning one shorter eventually but for a while this seems good. Also prerun weight 164 postrun weight 162. It seems like the weight is coming off quite nicely. And im no longer feeling horrible during runs.
