GOING THE DISTANCE

6am -  My first morning run in forever!  I'm gonna start with 2 this week then build up.

3pm -  In the afternoon we did 4 mile repeats.  They were very hard and I struggled.  I was feeling so exhauseted from getting up and running in the morning.  I got about 5:50 on each one and Trevor really helped me a lot on some of them.  The weather was insane towards the end, it was raining and it was winding way way way way way way way hard.

3pm -  Today was an easy day but still moderate mileage.  I guess the goal was 7 miles but my watch had it as 6.66, which after people told me that was the devil number or something but i dunno.  We ran up into green springs pretty much all the way up.  Then we looped around and came down past my house.  My tendonitis bugged me a bit but I'm alive so all is well.

3pm -  Today was another michigan.  I did good I felt.  I got 24:47.  I feel like last week my mind has kind of gone on vacation.  The whole time during the workout I was battleing so hard to not give up.  I think I kind of won the mental battle today because I didn't quit.  I real want to lay it all out there on the next few workouts so I can race at pre footlocker.  My patellar tendonitis and tendonitis in my ankle/foot was hurting pretty good on the cool down.

6am -  Nice morning run.  Bit painful but I know my tendonitis is gonna be fine it just flared up last week cuz i didn't wear my superfeet insoles.  

3pm -  We did our costume ice cream run.  There was some great costumes. I really liked coaches version of Timo.

12pm - Today we had an early out so we had practice right after at 12.  It was nice and cool and sunny, perfect weather.  There were bands that were practicing on our field so they gave us some nice background music.  We did a harts warmup then got going on the workout.  It was hard 1000's.  I stay right up front a bit back from byron and abel.  My times were 3:14, 3:17, 3:15, 3:13, and 3:05.  Andrew was legit and he is really stepping it up.  He was only about 4 seconds behind me on each one.  My tendonitis was hurting but not quite bad enough to stop.  

4pm -  I took my dog and ran into the desert.  I ran on trails at first but then just run through the bushes up to this hill.  It was a good view from the top.  After I got to run down the hill which was a mile long.  I was going really fast and was dodging bushes and stuff.  It was fun, but it hurt a lot.  Thats why I wasn't able to get in a tempo.  I really amped up my mileage this week and my body has responded with pain but I think its feeling good now.
