GOING THE DISTANCE

6am -  3 miles.  pretty quick and hard.  I wish we could do these as recovery runs.

3pm -  1600m repeats.  Goal today was 5:23.  I felt decent today my left knee just felt wierd, not really very painful it just felt wierd to run on.  But i still had a good workout with times: 5:28, 5:26, 5:24, and 5:15.  On the last one Andrew was a beast and pushed it up towards me and Paul which got me going so us three had like a sprint off the last 200m.  Haven't felt that feeling since BYU track meet last year, its fun. Total mileage was 7 with a 1.5 warm and 1.5 cool.  Also we lifted weights.

6am -  3 miles a little painful but we did yoga after which sorta loosened me up.

3pm -  5.15 miles on chuckwalla trail.  Still felt a bit of pain in my lower leg.  I've got some tendonitis apearing there.  On the way back was fun.  Coach and some guys started hauling butt back, i dunno.  

no morning run.  really needed the rest.

3pm -  Really good tempo today.  We warmed up a few miles before we got going fast.  I was having really negetive thoughts before we started and I just didn't really want to run.  But as soon as we started the tempo I felt really good.  My goal pace for 24 minutes was 5:37 which I hit pretty much right on, maybe give or take a second.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, or maybe I'm just tougher than I think I am cuz I though there was no way I could get that pace.  My body ended up really sore after.

6am -  Pretty good morning run of 3 miles.  My body felt decent.

3pm -  Nice hard hill workout.  It consisted of 1x800m, 2x400m, 4x200m with some miles before and after.  Not sure all my times but they were good and I was able to push it good and be mentally tough.  My legs were really tired after the 200's; haven't done much speed stuff like that in a while.  After, lifted weights with the team.  I did some calf stuff to get rid of the tendonitis.  I thinks its like anterior tibialis tendonits.  I feel cool cuz now I know what anterior and posterior mean from Intro to Health class.

6am -  3 miles.  Felt a bit hard but running is always hard at 6:30 in the morning.

3pm -  5 miles and a mile of striders.  We ran 2 mile DI loop then the pvhs 5k course.  Then ran striders.  

4pm -  Really didn't want to run today.  but forced myself too and tried to do LT tempo.  got 5:44 pace but at least I ran.  My legs hurt everywhere after my run.  I'm really burned out.
