8 miles at an easy 6:50. Yay.

Oh hey, new shoes. New spikes too. I didn't wear either of them for this run though. Still breaking in the shoes. I wasn't sure if my new spikes could top my old one's in badass-ness, but I was WRONG. My old ones were pure white with neon green lacings but my new ones are bright yellow and have some crazy dragon artwork on the sole and heel. I can't wait to pass kids up on the track with these things.

Today track workouts started. They wasted our time for an hour and a half and it was 4:00 by the time we got around to a run. I've been feeling a little sick lately so I decided to take it easy. But when your running with the rest of the guys on the team, 6:40 pace feels like your taking a day off if you bother to look at how far ahead everyone is. Since I didn't know if we were planning on doing some interval type work tomorrow, and being sick, I didn't go berserk and average 6:20 with the rest of the guys, but it turns out Rexus doesn't have any intervals planned until Wednesday so I suppose this was an alright day to go a little crazy on.

An "Easy" 7 with the team. My watch had me averaging 6:30 pace for the entire run, and I was still a minute behind the lead guys on the way back and out. We've been running way too fast in our workouts. It wasn't exactly a hard workout, but I've never been able to keep my easy runs below 6:40 before. Intervals tomorrow. And the day after that I refuse to run faster then 7 minute pace.

Did 12x400 with the team today. It was actually easier then what I've been doing by myself in the off season because although I was running my intervals a few seconds faster, I wasn't going interval-recovery jog-interval-recovery jog. I actually had 10-20 seconds of rest between each recovery jog, which made it much easier. 

It was still a good workout though and I am definitely looking forward to getting some good sleep tonight and an easy run tomorrow.

An easy 6 (duh) with the team. I feel wiped out after such a hard week. Hopefully I can will myself to take it easier then what the rest of the front group guys consider an "easy" run. They all want to run 6:30's and faster day after day. I know none of us are actually in that kind of shape, but I'm not going to tell any of them otherwise. They wouldn't believe me that it's actually better to keep it easier except on the hard workout days anyways. 

Okay, back to studying for my math quiz.

An easy-ish run to the library and back. All this running on pavement is giving me mild shin splints in my right shin so I'll probably be icing tonight. 

 

I forgot to add that I ran 2 in weights today. Easy running just so I could stretch out the muscles.

Met with the team for a 10 mile run today. I was actually planning on going pretty fast for the whole thing and Justin and Anthony were there to help me push myself. It felt really good, although it was a tough workout, and the last 5 miles were 6:14 or faster, three of them under 6:05. Monday were having a 1000 meter time trial, although I think it would be better if we did speedwork.
