First distance run in a while. We did the dock's beach run. Six miles, going one direction it's slightly downhill the whole wawy, until you reach a massive uphill at the end. We rested for a few minutes at the top, then headed back, with a huge downhill at the beginning followed by 2.5 miles of long, but gradual hill. We held about a 7 flat pace, so decent run. I'll probably feel it tomorrow.

I took today a bit hard for a recovery day, but oh well. Hard work is good. I did the three mile run at 7 flat, not too fast for three miles, but faster than usual, especially where I was sore from yesterday's run. I worked pretty hard on the machines after the run, so I'd better have noticeably larger biceps tomorrow.

Note: my biceps were not noticeably larger this morning. I woke up at 4:00 this morning. I left the house at my favorite time (20 minutes after I woke up), and didn't get home until 7:15. I went to the prison in draper. I sat on a bus all day, and ate way too much lunch, which was way too close to practice. Also I went mountain biking after practice yesterday, so possibly not the smartest move. I went straight from the bus to the track when we got back into town, and the workout commenced shortly. 1x1600-5:05. Disapointing. 4x800. We paced these, so it's not a bad thing that I ran 2:40 on all of them. That was the target. Then I went to work for half an hour. Then I went home to do homework. Today just sucked.

Recovery day. 2 miles with the girls because Clayton bailed on me today. Did some good core after.

I really wish I were better at speed. 6x400, then 4x200. The 400's were supposed to be at about mile pace, and I did decent, splits were 73, 72, 68, 69, 72, 73. Not super consistent, but all in the range of what my mile pace should be. The 200's were where I failed. We were supposed to accelerate slowly through the whole thing, hitting top speed right at the end, but there was a 180 degree turn a little more than halfway through the course we were using that drained all speed. My legs were pretty dead from the fours, so I never really reached top speed. Clayton seemed to enjoy himself tho.
