Today was the "long" run for my week. When I began running it was 92 degrees, and when I finished, it was 102!!! If nothing more, fall's cool weather will make me feel like superman! Besides that, todays run was fine. | | Add Comment |

| Today was a fartlek workout. I ran out to Daniels Park, did the workout, then ran back. The workout consisted of 3 x (two mins on & one minute off, one minute on then 30 secs off, 30secs on then 30secs off). It was very hilly and windy for the workout, but since XC is coming I figure I might as well start facing some dirt hills and adverse conditions. | | Add Comment |

| Today was an easy seven miles to rest from yesterday and prepare for tommorrow (an AT). I feel sort of un-motivated for running right now. I had some realizations when I was injured. It put the whole sport into perspective, and I can honestly say I am glad that it happened. It made me realize how engrossed I was in the sport, and how I had become a "slave" to its extensive day to day routine. I feel like I am very young and still have tons of opportunities. I want to explore. There is no way I should let only one (such as running) dominate the rest. Not that I don't enjoy the sport, but I think that it can be easily blown waaaay out of proportion. For example: I see teammates with newborn babies just hammering out the miles day after day (1 1/2 hours a day minimum), going on extensive trips (weeks, months etc...)and treating their life no different than before he/she came along. Personally, I think that their priorities are a bit off. The sport has a very invasive tendency, and it is easy to see how many runners let it become "all consuming", but the "if I just run a few more miles..." mentality causes many runners to miss out on other aspects of life, simply because they are a slave to the running routine. By no means am I saying that it is not ok to enjoy running, because I definitely do. I am saying however, that for me personally, I am unwilling to let it take over my life. I enjoy running, but it is not who I am. I am not going to just quit or anything, but I am no longer going to miss out on other aspects of life since "I gotta run tommorrow..." | | Add Comment |

| Today was a four mile threshold workout. I warmed up three miles, then ran the four miles at pace. My total time was 21:16 - not too hard. I can feel noticeable fitness differences on a weekly basis regarding AT runs (right now). I feel like I am actually building a base again! | | Add Comment |

| Nine easy miles today in Winter Park at 10,000 ft! I believe this is an all time highest altitude record for me! It was cool and misty, so the altitude didn't seem too ridiculous. | | Add Comment |
