We are who we choose to be.

AM- 4 easy on the usual route. Pretty calm this morning. Talked about some of the success I had with Megan on Saturday ;)

PM- 8.5 total, 4x1600s @87% (goal: 5:27), 2x300s (goal: 0:44). Great day out on the track today! My side was feeling melancholy, and I was feeling kinda cruddy going into this, but I decided to take my feelings out on the track and hit my 4th good 1600 workout in a row. Jason, my buddy who ran the same Kosmin, went in and out on this workout because of hip issues. I went 5:28 (with Jason), 5:28 (1st half with Jason), 5:26 (no Jason), and 5:16 (2nd half with Jason). Last one was fast with even 2:38 800 splits. Last 2 were the ones where I had killer sideaches and I still managed to throw down on the times.

300s were the real goal and I hit :44s on both again today! That means next week I gotta go :43 or I'll become like one of those guys who never breaks 5 in the mile, but always gets so close!

AM- 4 miles on my own. 3x Dirt mile (long way there from my house). Still feeling eh so I decided to just go on my own this morning. Didn't really wanna run with anybody. Debated whether going to school or not but I did cause Sage writing test. Honestly don't know what is up with me. since like Saturday I just haven't felt my best! 

PM- 7 miles easy Chuckawalla. Beast and feast afterwards. Pretty good easy run.

AM- 4 miles easy. Starbucks. Nice and refreshing run.

PM- 2 miles warm, 25 min AT tempo (5:47 ave) on the track, cooled to 55 minutes. Felt good on this until the start of one lap in particular: going into about 18 or 20 minutes, I was starting to side cramp up and suddenly Mitch or somebody takes the lead out hardcore on a big surge that I wasn't ready for. Stuck in there though just about 10 meters behind the whole rest of the tempo. I LOATHE track tempos. I like river trail tempos :P I'd like to apologize about being a pace vulture though. I just hate surges unless I'm the one throwing them in ;)

Started the morning off dumb when I got to my car to get to practice, sat in the seat, and fell asleep. Woke up about 30 minutes later and just abandoned the idea of running this morning. I don't know what's up with me. I get 8-9 hours of sleep every night!

PM- 15 warm, 25 cool, 10x200s (goal: 35). Chill workout. Just pretty much have us an idea of race pace while being on the track. Pretty easy. Forgot to mention I saw Tanner Sharp from DH at the temple yesterday so that was kewl.

after practice, my subwoofer suddenly started working so I cried of happiness and blasted Limit to Your Love like Byron used to! It blew my brains out!

AM- 4 miles easy

PM- 8.25 for the run then striders after. Just nice and easy. Went Albino route today and that was different and fun!

AM- got to the school at about 7:40 to get minutes in before the race cause we had 80 minutes today. I ran 45 down the normal morning run route to the TownPlace Suites Marriott. Then I warmed up with some of the guys for a little bit and got 60 in before the race total.

Race- got out pretty quick but Nick was too fast! He had gotten rid of us all by the end of the first mile. Me, Jason, and Andrew stayed together for the first half or so then me and Jason gapped Andrew a little bit. Jason's hip started to hurt so he dropped early as not to injure himself. Stayed pretty much by myself the rest of the time and ended at approximately 17:05. Nothing too killer, didn't feel all out. Good way to get the LT in today.
