I ran six miles with Neal and Pete this morning. We averaged a little under 7:00. I felt pretty good, and wasn't really sore. I wanted to do a few more, but I was sick to my stomach.

 I went and lifted weights later in the afternoon. I did 2 sets of 3 reps at 265. It felt pretty good. I was going to do four or five miles after, but it started snowing really hard. I wasn't prepared for it, so I only got in 2.5 miles.

Today the workout was mile, 1200m, 800m, 800m, 400m. I warmed up 3.25 miles to start. My goal on the mile was 4:48. Neal led it, and we started out WAY too fast. We came through the first lap at 53, which is 4:25 pace. The first four hundred was 67. After that, Pete took the lead and pushed the pace! I decided to back off there. Pete and Neal went through the 800 in 2:15, and I was at 2:17-2:18. I knew that was still way too fast, so I coasted in from there and hit 4:48. Neal was around 4:40, and Pete was around 4:43. 

After that I was pretty tired. I came through the 1200 at 3:32, just behind Neal. The first 800 was 2:18 right behind Neal. The second 800 was 2:19 right behind Neal. I was really tired after that, and I just wanted to finish the 400. Neal started out in front, but after 150 I was feeling good and I pushed it all out. Pete passed me, and Neal passed me down the last straightaway. Neal and Pete finished in 62, and I was in 63. 

 I cooled down 3.5 miles easy.

I tried running on the treadmill, but I was still sick and coughing. I decided to stop at two miles.

I ran with Ben and Isaac today. We didn't go far because it was really cold and snowing like crazy. It was really slushy and we went really slow. We went three miles.
