You get out what you put in

Fri - disc? w/ B, why does the past roll into nothingness? workout with B, calisthenics, then running while discing? hurt right foot on a squat, nerve ring around ankle and top of foot; 1m
Sat - went to Roots watching how far I still need to go to improve my distance, one guy told me 40% core, 60% timing; ran two loops around the g/c, intermittent, 2m
Sun - stomach hurt after bad something, Subway meatball/everything sandwich didn't help; didn't want to run but pushed Jo to 'stead on a straight shot but tacked on newer hoods for a loop, pushed the pace at the last, felt good. 3m
Mon - felt sick, burps like egg, P too. Worked, no running.

Tue - disced and ran home, feeling good, looking forward to Springville race, 2m;
   Ball was good on my end, we won first game, then had a spate of quick losses (7 points is just too quick). I missed two mid-range that could hv won one game, zone defense doesn't always give chance to shine, need to show I can play the point, younger kid was good, but I felt like when I let others keep pushing the offense without taking my own chances we're less effective, 1.5; on the good side the quick short games made it easier on my legs the next day, even with little sleep, tho a combo of tapering and rest
 

Wed - After Tracy Aviary, ran 2 laps around Liberty with Jo. Felt hard (2-4 hrs sleep) especially on the 2nd lap, is that really only 3 miles? too tired to ball and all's well
Thu - running w Nate 30 minutes canal, cemetary, canal, streets, canal road, Nate was taking it easy, I was somewhat tempo; some running at Roots after couch delivery; ball that evening was short, warmed up for a game, then played one where we lost closely, I missed the first two on the hard rim, then played well, guarded by smart, fast guard, he's only going to get better but he's a little inexperienced, last game to 21 I fell back once but used my wiles to score some points, we closely won, 1.5m
Fri - shakeout discing, met helicoptor pilot

A little trouble figuring where the packets were and what the course was but beautiful course. Loop back thru forest trail to far side disc golf course (there's a pond in there) thru parking lot, field, onto track under stands thru forest trail and around again then home. Don't really remember all the details, which means I was zoned in but passed a few in the first mile til I caught my 10 year old female nemesis running with her dad. After that things seemed to stay the same, we passed a few, who would then speed up to pass again, but then when consistent pace would bypass them again they'd concede. Girl's dad was encouraging her to break 20. One guy had the courage to stay with us. On the 2nd loop we put distance on all behind, I was preparing for a sprint to outkick a pre-teen girl. I loved the forest trail, and probably was faster on the hard but the grass is my friend. Probably because it feels easier to run on and being less consistent doesn't feel like one is pushing so much.

There's a point in every race where you give up, give out or give on. I started to get that dead leg feeling in the last mile. As Nate says, "Hitting the line and not knowing how long you can keep it." I fazed out a little by the bleachers getting Phin to watch us, and was 20 yards behind future female state champ, I felt like I picked it up thru the forest and around on the grass, and did have a sprint in that left me gasping and grasping my knees, but 10 year old Shalane Flanagan still won. (Shout out to NY marathon winner.)

All in all good race on a cross country course. This lets me know I'm in decent shape. There's two more levels to my best shape but I'm not sure I'll run a PR in a 5K, but there are still so many levels where I can push myself more.

May the God of all comfort give grace to you as you trust in Him.
