Really wanted to get in a good run today, since I won't get a very quality run in tomorrow since I'm donating blood, and I got a great one! Ran Hopsital run with Jeff, I started out thinking of going kinda easy, but he was feeling good and I just kept up with him for the most part, especially down River Road my knee was bugging me, so I kinda wanted to slow down, but wanted to stick with Jeff, so I kept up. After all the downhill I was finally started to feel good, managed to keep the mile with the Foremaster hill at 7:37 total, and that was awesome. Felt great the rest of the run, pushed the industrial uphill at the end really well, with 7:32 then 6:58 for those miles (had to run .25 extra once I got to the HS to get the run up to 7 miles). Avg. 7:19/mi. (DST 282.9)

Weights after, all same as on Thursday - 3x11 of all: LE (7), LC (10), LatP (3), Bench (55), Squats (80) and abs/back (5). Felt good 'cause I'm not sore anymore!!!

Realized at 1:00 last night/this morning (because my parents are out of town and my idiot brother was having a party with his college friends 'til way past then and I couldn't get to sleep) that I could get a run in this morning, before I donated blood, so I could feel better about only running a little this evening. Went on the AP 5-miler, legs were tired from yesterday, knee sore a bit in miles 1-2 and 4, didn't take it really easy, but avg. pace was 8:02/mi, so I definitely wasn't going fast either. (Alchemy 260)

Ran from church to stake center for broom hockey, then after, ran home. Felt mostly good, probably since I ran it pretty easy and it was short. A bit of lightheaded-ness going up steep uphills. (DST 286.9)

Wow. What a crappy run. Although I hate to make excuses, I think yesterday's loss of blood was the main culprit, combined with dehydration. Since I felt fine physically all day, I just assumed (bad plan) that I would be up to a hard run today. I definitely wasn't. 

Ran Dogpound AT (or at least attempted to), warmed up grass loop, then .5 on the run, then got into the AT part. From the get-go my legs just felt leaden and burning like they do in hard sprints, like there was only fermentation and no respiration going on in my muscles. Ouch. Pushed through it for the two downhill miles (6:37, 6:33), legs got less and less responsive and more and more hurty as I went. Then as I started going up the hills by Dogpound, my vision started getting black around the edges and I was panting and pushing and going about 7:30 pace, so I decided passing out was a bad plan and stopped for a second, then took it way easy for the last 1.5 of the run. Even going slow, it was really hard. Argh! Still, I am already hating myself for not finishing the workout. What an idiot whiner I am. (DST 287.4)

Right after school I ran .5 to warmup a bit before lifting. Did 3x11: LE (7), LC (10), LatP (4*), Bench (55), Squat (80), Abs/back (5). *upped by one on LatP today.

Went with the club tonight, wanted to get at least 6 in and if I was feeling good I wanted to go further. Didn't feel the greatest. We went out on a pretty fun trail, I'd like to go on it sometime when I'm normal, anyway, I went out about 2.75 then I was feeling pretty crappy again, so after we paused, I split from the guys and took the Chuckwalla trail back and around through the neighborhoods to the store. Total of 6.5 miles, avg. 8:45/mi. (Alchemy 267)

I think I'm starting to feel closer to normal! Yay! Pretty sore legs and arms, though. Ran the standby industrial rd. out-and-back run from my house at 7:30pm. Got some major negative split action, and avg. 7:52/mi. (DST 294.4)

Good luck to our Olympic Trials Marathoners tomorrow!

Went out this afternoon on my Washington Fields 8-miler. I remember now why I don't do that run very often - it's basically a big square and it's SO boring! Felt pretty tired out from yesterday, but wanted to still get in an ok run, so I pushed it, then esp. hard on the last two miles - overall 7:51/mi avg. I can tell these shoes are starting to wear down - my foot hurts. (Alchemy 275)
