Same routine as yesterday. I feel sore! I must be really out of running shape, considering I have barely ran and I feel sore. It is not too bad (not like the 1st 5k of the season sore), but I can feel it a bit. 3.5 resulting in soreness - sort of funny if you ask me!

I jogged to the rec center to aquajog, then jogged back. I stretched a bit too, seeing as I am definitely sore.

Ran to the rec center, aquajogged, then ran back. Tommorrow I get to run 25 mins!!! In a week or two, my mileage will begin to ramp up. Once I can run 30mins pain free, I will jump up a bit more than 5mins every three days. I am contemplating doubles when my mileage reaches the 65-70ish mile mark. Alhtough this mileage is not too high for most runners (on this blog, on my team etc...), I definitely feel it, especially with the density of our training come mid-season. From what I have found, my sweet spot lies between 70 and 75 miles a week (right now). If I run 3's and 7's or 6's & 4's daily (with a long & medium long run mixed in once a week, I think I will put less stress on my body while getting some great running in. Honestly, I need to put some miles under my belt. Everyone on my team has over double my total mileage (even some of the incoming freshman!). I just need to put some steady aerobic miles in the bank.

A little over 25 mins today, but definitely not too intense. I did the regular - ran to the rec aquajogged and ran back. No pain in my leg, but it is still mentally hard to "use" it. I am used to pampering it, so when it comes time to run on it and subject it to force, I feel mental uncertainty. I guess it just takes time.

Again, I ran to the rec center, aquajogged, then ran back. I went a bit over on time, but I felt good and free of pain! It was really hot outside (95ish), but I think I am slowly acclimating. Good run!

Easy run before work today with my dad. We ran a loop in the greenbelt (around Northridge Rec Center) around 6:30 am. Man, my dad has some serious running talent. He's nearly fifty, and undoubtedly can run 6:30's for a decent length run. I think that if he trained hard, he could definitely run 36ish (or below) in a 10k. At 50 I think that is real impressive. He never truly trained throughout HS or College, rather ran for fun (3-milers twice or three times a week) to just enjoy himself. I know that he is somewhat dissapointed he didn't ever try to run competitively (with his ability he would have been good), but to some extent I think he lives vicariously through my running. I plan on running hard to explore this world for us both...we'll see where it goes!

I will aquajog later tonight

Easy 5.5 miles today in the greenbelt. I aquajogged for 30mins at Northridge Rec Center too. Only a couple more days of 5.5 milers until I get to start ascending to bigger mileage. I need to keep composure though, increasing too fast will lead right back to where I was.
