GOING THE DISTANCE

6am- Pretty much the normal morning 3 miler to arctic circle and back.  After we did yoga and stuff in the locker room.

3pm- Today was hot.  Pretty much really really hot.  It was not too hard of a run but the heat from the sun made it a intense run.  For the run we ran 7 miles plus striders in the middle.  and a half mile warmup before.  We were gonna go to the east but i guess there was a bad guy on the loose so we went to the park by the sunbowl.  Then back.  On the way back we stopped by jasons house and drank from the hose and cool off a bit. That was the best part of my day.  Afterwards we all lifted weights.  

6am- 3 miles. artic circle

3pm- today was 5x1000 and harts warmup/cooldown.  Total mileage was 6.75 miles.  It was pretty hot again today but not as hot as yesterday.  so my splits were 3:12, 3:12, 3:13, 3:17, 3:03.  After the 4th one everyone kinda faded a bit.  Then coach called the whole team together and had a talk with us.  He said there is no such thing as fear.  Its just something we make up in our head.  He said we've gotta push through the fear and not be afraid of pain.  I was really inspired and the next one (which was my last) i pushed hard and got 3:03.  It was a good workout.

6am- artic circle three miles.

3pm- 4x 2 mins and 5x400's with harts warm/cool.  I felt pretty good this workout.  I tried to remember about what coach said about fear and stuff.  So I just kinda blanked my mind and looked foward to the pain, knowing it was only gonna last a couple minutes.  On the 400's i was staying right up in the front so hopefully i was just pushing and everybody else felt fine also.  Paul is gonna be up with us next race and SUNSHINE IS GOIN DOWN!  

6am- Same old thing.

3pm- 3 miles plus striders and .5 mile warmup.  This run felt pretty fast.  We were going a pretty fast pace i think but i was pretty chill and relaxed.  Us level twos just ran to the greens spring clubhouse and back.  After we did striders and after that did weights but no plyos yet. 

6am- run to arctic cirlcle and back for 3 miles.

5:30pm- 7 miles with 30 minute tempo at 7 minute mile pace.  It was a hot run but it felt good and i felt strong on the tempo.  We ran down to the soccer park then out to the log lane church.  We got back and got showered and all and watched the game and waited for the run-a-thon.

12am- Ran my first shift of the night and started out trying to break 5.  But I was super tired, had been eating mostly swedish fish, and it was late (fair excuses) and got 5:13.  Then went two more times till 1:50 and we were done for a while.

 5am- I was pretty tired by this time around and basically tried to get the miles done without walking.  During this one we had breakfast which was hard to eat cuz i was so tired.  At 7 we did the dash for cash.  My group was big and i only had to go twice.
