Wasn't able to find time to run, but I played in two soccer games (Total play time of 1 hour and 15 min) so I'm gonna say that's about of 4 miles. Really tried to keep moving the entire time, even if I was jogging in place, but was able continuously run up and down the field.

Overall Anaylsis:

Had a pretty good run. Wanted something hard, but kinda hard so I set the incline to 5% and didn't touch it until the end of the run. Was able slowly increase the pace from 6 mph to 7.5 mph on the last mile. Felt pretty good, but during my last half mile I thought my dinner was gonna come back up. After the run my left shin had some small pain, so I'm going to have to watch that. 100 calf rasies, core, and stretching before bed.

Running Thoughts:

Not many thoughts today. Head was empty and was just enjoying the treadmill. Got a camping trip coming up and so I've been trying to figure out if I can still run while camp out there. Gonna have to pull up some maps.

Overall Analysis:

Had a great workout today. Decided to take it to the track and try to work in a little speed, so I ran the Prefontaine. 1 mile warm up, 3 miles (200 m sprint, 200 m jog), and 1 mile cool down. After the first couple of sprints my lungs were hurting, but I was determined to finished so I put my head down and ran it out. Legs felt great the entire time and had no problems with any shin today. Calf raises, core, and stretching tonight before bed.

Running Thoughts:

Relied a lot on positive affirmation today. Really wanted to walk on my recovery jogs or even cut my sprints short, but I kept telling myself that I was strong enough to do it. I really believe that, that's what got me through the workout. Really shows the importance of training your body AND your mind.

Overall Anaylsis:

Started off with an easy 1 mile warm up at 9:14 pace and then let my legs go. I felt super good today and had no pain in the shins. My lungs couldn't have felt better. Ended up averaging 6:32 per mile on the next 5 miles which I haven't done for a while. Gonna have to bring it back in the future to stay healthy.

Overall Anaylsis:

Feels good to be outside. Was going faster than I wanted to, but the legs were feeling great. Was able to also get in a bit of hill work. Really enjoyed this run and will probably be doing it again.

Had a soccer game. We won 3-2. Did a lot of running with a lot of sprinting, but the legs still felt slow.

Overall anaylsis:

Going real slow but feeling good. Want the legs and shins to get strong so won't be doing anything too crazy for a while so I can build back up to it. Legs were a little achy but nothing to serious or concerning.
