GOING THE DISTANCE

7am-  Met at PV for practice.  I was not feeling good cuz yesterday I ate a whole family size bag of takis.  So my warmup was really slow but as I started my first 1k repeat I didn't feel too bad.  I was gonna do three.  My foot wasn't killing me but it was pretty tight and a little iffy. My goal pace was 3:56 and we were supposed to start out slower than our pace and on the last repeat, finish faster than your pace.  But that didn't really happen, I got 3:53, :57, :55.   Then cool down 1.5 and went over to get ready for our team car wash. 

3:30pm -  Got out of school and went over to Bloomington hills north park (region course).  Got a ride with Abel.  The workout for people who weren't racing was 2 mile repeats.  I did 2 of them to keep my mileage down.  The first one, me and Paul's goal for the first mile was 6:30, then 6:20 on the second one.  Got 12:49 kinda easily except it was pretty dang hot.  The next one we were going for 6:20, 6:10.  My watch was jacked though and so I never really knew my pace.  It said about 6:40 - 6:50 pace the whole time but I went about the same speed as Byron and Abel.  I maybe got a 12:20 - 12:30 on that one.  It felt hard but good.  Only one problem which was my knee was pretty sore after.  I don't know why it's acting up this week.

3pm - easy 4 miler today.  The route was to Starbucks and back.  I ran with Paul and Krenny.  My knee was very sore today.  It's really random that's is hurting.  I've been icing it tried to keep the pain away but not much results.  I was able to handle the run okay though, hopefully I'll be really for the Jared Pugmire World Championships of race walking this Friday.  I'm ready to dominate the 25 meter.

5pm -  Today I went on a 10 mile bike ride.  I rode through the neighborhoods around my house.   So I rode lots of hills and got my legs a good workout.  My knee has been sore so this is a good rest.  I planned on going to the pool today, but it was closed.

6pm -  Our team run-a-thon fundraiser was tonight.  I got to the high school at 6 and ran my first mile.  About 45 minutes later I ran my second mile.  Then my next shift was in like 4 hours.

12am -  Ran two more miles in my next shift.  The around 3 I had my two finals in the 25m and the 50m race walk.  I got sliver in both, milliseconds after Trevor in each one.  Then Iraq got gold in the 4x50m.  Later around 5:30 in the dash for cash I ran a 400m, probably 1:05 or less.  Pretty good for being so tired.
