AM- 3 easy. Felt really good this morning because I took care of my legs yesterday. Rolled and stretched afterwards.
PM- 7 w/striders (8mi. total). It was really hot today or at least it felt like it. I really decided this week end that I have been underperforming, not performing bad just not to my best ability, because the whole race I think that I shouldn't go out too fast or I'll die out and it's not until the last 1/2 mile or so until I realize I've been racing slower than my fastest. So, my new moto for running is fearless...not stupidness to run out like a crazy man, but not holding back. I heard a rock song sing "balls to the wall!" and it reminded of Byron and how at region he really went balls to the wall and nailed it. I also thought about it...what do I have to lose? It's my senior year and I want to find my limits...which I have yet to find...so I'm going to find it! This whole run I just kept telling myself I was a champion and stuff like that and shortened my stride a bit and it was awesome! Weights and plyos after then my own upper body workout with core exercises! |
