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!

AM- 3 miles easy.  I was kinda hurting this morning.  I had a slight pain just below the ball of my calf, but nothing to worry about.  Stretch, lifting after at home.

PM- DI warm/cool 6x1000m.  I am banned from analyzing anymore so I only will say what happened.  1st 1000m I ran a 3:01 with Mike the whole time quick stride.  2nd time 2:58.  3rd time 3:02. 4th time 3:09. 5th time 2:58.  6th time 3:04.  Stretch and core work at home

Still banned from analyzing anything running right now....until the end of the season really, so no more long entries.

AM-3 easy miles.  Turned off my brain and just ran, no analysis of how I felt, ect. Stretch and roll after.

PM-4x2min w/1min rec + 5x400 I w/30sec rec w/ DI warm/cool.  1st min. ran with Mike at a good pace, maybe less than 200m from 800m.  2nd with Mike again, gas trouble, good pace.  3rd right behind mike.  4th a little behind mike.  1st 400m on grass with mike 1:21(ish).  2nd 400m behind 10m (roughly) behind mike 1:27.  3rd 400m mid-pack, bowel trouble, 1:30. (bathroom break).  4th at 1:21 by myself.  5th 1:24.

Okay, banned from analyzing because I over-analyze all my runs and focus and dwell on the bad.  Ok, now that that's cleared up, here's my runs.

AM- 3 easy.  Matt wouldn't be quiet...but focused on not analyzing while running and just shuting up my brain and running.

PM- 5w/striders.  Went out to the Fields and did striders at the Sullivan Soccer Park.  Was a little tired.  Again, at the end when I was slowing at the end I just shut my brain up and ran (don't think that's analyzing...is it?) anyway, easy run.

AM- nice easy three. Concentrated (or I guess lack of concentration...?) on just running and not thinking. 4x200m stayed with mike every single one.

PM- Well, its our run-a-thon so, I ran 4 times (ish) because no one freaking showed up in my group except three of us!  Anyway, a mile each time so 4 miles total, but it was a nice, slow, easy pace!

2nd PM- Ran 10 miles with 40 min. tempo (around 6 miles) I was suppose to run 6:20 pace with Jason, but we stuck it in with Mike the whole way!  I know I'm on analyzing probation but can't I say me and PJ rocked this run!!!  It was super hot.  Anyways, we stuck with Mike the whole way and ran around 6:05 pace!  By the end my legs were spent.  Rolling, icing, stretching and more to keep them from dying at this run-a-thon tonight!  ALL NIGHTER!!!!
