AM- 3 to AC easy. Then 4xhill sprints w/ 4x100F.  I felt super good on these except the last one I didn't really push the last 50m.

PM- 8 easy.  Felt pretty good.  I am feeling pretty positive about my running lately!

AM- 3 easy to AC.

PM- mile repeats w/ 2 min; 4x200 w/ pizza cool/warm.  I ate some peanut butterr (a food under suspect up until today in terms of it affecting my stomach) and so...let's just say I really felt like crap today (if you know what I mean).  The first mile I felt good just sticking with Byron 5:26.  Next mile I felt good too 5:28.  The third one is when I felt my stomach and then the sprinkler made my shoes heavy (I have figured out my shoes are very absorbent).  I got a 5:33 on this one.  I just freaked out a little because I was feeling off.  The last mile I just stuck it until the last lap and I just wasn't believing in myself as much as late today so I got a 5:32.  I basically did the 200m on my own, because I started behind the guys and I had to fix both my shoes, but felt fine other than my bowels.  On a positive note, last time I ran this I never ran faster than 5:35 and this time I never ran that or slower!  The one and only thing I need to work on is believing in myself!!!  I really don't think I have anything wrong with me mentally (that wouldn't explain how I do well sometimes), it's just when the going gets tough I don't believe in me...sad but true.  But I am going to work on it and improve!  Still positive about my running!

AM- 3 to AC easy.  Calf bugging a little this morning...got to take care of that before it worsens.

PM- 4 w/ 2x400m I.  I felt good this run.  I may be getting a little hurting in the calf, but not real big pain.  Will take care of it to make sure.  400's felt really good.  The first one I didn't really know what we were doing so I didn't end well, but then the next one I went with mike (but the second one we went .3 instead...fools!).

AM- 3 easy wore my compresion sleeves all night to help calves.  Felt half-decent.

PM- 5 w/ 4x200m  It was a super slow regular run.  Felt super good.  The 200's felt awesome, except the last one...which for some reason I just didn't try on, but I'm not fretting.  I ran around 28, 28, 29,and well above 30 for the last one...so haha we'll forget that one!  I felt super strong and realized I'm a little flat when I try to run fast sometimes (meaning I don't bounce off the ground enough), so I tried to bounce more these 200's and I felt super good.  Ran right with mike on all but one.  The last one I just didn't move my legs because I started a little hesitant and was behind the others.

AM-2 miles T + 1x1000 I + 2x400 R + 4x200 R w/ Pizza warm/cool.  The 1st mile- 5:26. 2nd mile- 5:25.  So that was very consistent and it was pretty comfortable...I felt well within myself.  1000m- I don't know what my time was but I felt I ran it well.  1st 400m- 1:06.  2nd- 1:05.  The 400's were good, I felt fast, but something in my foot was hurting like none other and it really hurt to run on the balls of my feet.  4x200m- I don't know my times.  My foot was hurting even more on these, but I felt I ran them fast.  I ran with Jason behind the group, because my foot hurt and I wanted to help Jason push.  Turns out I had this decent cut on the ball of my foot right where your foot would move a lot...so hopefully it heals!  I felt really good though!  I felt like I could've gone even faster, but I think that I needed to just hit the times that I needed to.

PM- 3 easy.

6 miles w/ 4xfartleks.  My left leg was way tight because I had been walking funny on it, because of the little gash in my foot so I took the pace easy other than the 30 sec. farleks I did.  Most of the run I was just thinking about the mission age being moved...so I eligible to go right after I graduate basically.  So you can see why it was on my mind the whole run!  Anyways, it was a very peaceful run out onto misquito trail and I never really noticed how beautiful the scenery is so that was cool!  Overall, a great run just need to fix the tightness in my left leg and learn to run on my cut cause it isn't that bad I just have been running funny on it so I have to fix that!
