Today was an "easy" day around Coot lake, but it did not feel all that easy to me. We have a small workout tommorrow before we leave to Mt. SAC, too, so I need to rest up.

I don't quite know what's wrong with me, but I feel really fatigued. I can run easy for a moderate amount of time, but when I begin doing repeats, I just die. I could only hold 3x4-2-2-4 today when I could hold ten last week. I am going to take tommorrow off and rest.

Well, a shakeout today at Mt. SAC. This is the coolest track I have ever seen. It is decorated, has huge bleachers on each side and, most importantly, is at sea level. Ahh, I can breath!!!

Alright, today was probably the worst race of my life. My legs were absolutely beat, and I felt tired. I warmed up about three miles, then did a few strides and headed to the start. My heat was pretty big, so the start was a mad dash for place. I jumped in mid-pack and planned to just sit for a while. We came through the first lap in 72 (not too fast) and it felt much harder than a 72 should. We hit the next few in under 70, and hit the overall mile in 4:37. This is about the pace I wanted to run for the whole race, but my legs were done. I wanted to stay with the main pack terribly, but I just did not feel "it". At six laps, it felt as if I hit a brick wall, and I could tell my pace went down substancially. After that, all I wanted to do was finish. This was the worst seven or eight minutes of my life, and it dragged on one lap at a time. I honestly can't even believe I finished. I drank some water, then did my cooldown and jumped into the team van. I was in a bad mood to say the least. This whole trip to sealevel and I major sucked it up. I seriously think I could have ran this time a year ago at sea level (when I was not in half the shape I am in now). I will take it with a grain of salt, learn, and prepare better next time. Although I don't ahve another chance for a 5k this season, I do get to run conference (10k), at altitude. That should be good. Everybody has bad days, but it's those who recover the quickest that do the best.

Today was an easy run down by the beach. This was definitely theraputic, and it felt good to forget about everything that happened yesterday. My legs did feel very heavy, though.

Another easy ten miles today on a gravel path in Ontario, Ca. I don't really know whats wrong, but I felt very tired. I seemed ok right at the beginning, but about a mile in it felt like I was working way too hard.
