GOING THE DISTANCE

3pm-  Today was the time trial.  The weather was great nice and sunny and not very cold.  This race was fun.  It was interesting, I havent run a 800 in like 4 years.  I had no time to base a goal off since i missed both the mile time trials and the cosmin test.  But I had guessed I could probly break 2:20.  So i guess i got my goal.  It was fun to get some track racing action and im ready for more.  Warmed up 1.5 to harts and back, and cooled down 1 mile of pizza hut.  After we did striders which were ok but on the last one my plantar hurt a bit.  My mom found a new taping that is on my foot and helps my shins and it worked great.

3pm-  Today the tempo was changed from wednesday so I wasnt mentally prepared for any thing like that.  My body was feeling battered so I just went 6 miles down to the river and back to the high school.

3pm- Had a really good run today into washington fields.  My mom told me to change my steps per minute, to make it faster.  It helped a ton.  I had none pain in my knee and none in my tibias.  Hopefully this is a big step towards staying injury free.  The whole team ended up with our shirts off so we must be doin things right.  I stretched with a few guys really good after for bout 30 minutes.

3pm-  Todays workout was 8*200m at our 800 race pace.  My pace was 34.5 and I hit it pretty good.  A couple I got in the 33's and a couple in the 35's but overall I was on pace.  My body felt good in my bones and muscles.  They werent too hard besides the last one was a bit of a push.  Weights were real good cuz I was abel to do squats and deadlift.  All I did was put on my knee band and it didnt hurt so that was good to find out. 

3pm-  Tough trail run today.  We did prospector trail.  Nice and fun but some tough hills and quick pace.  My body felt pretty good like my shins and knees.
