AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Started up morning runs again today. Byron was late today (which means so was Matt, Dave, Bryan and me). Me and Byron ran UB pace to try to catch up to the team and finally did around the 1.5 mile mark. It was like a faster pace tempo. Bryan chilled at a swag pace and fell behind dramatically... That's what you get for going swag pace. Matt went regular pace and stayed a good way behind the main group. Dave did not run. Paul was there as well as Andrew, Krenny, Coach, Jake, and others. Cam did not run. Speaking of Cam, he got a haircut last week. Nick was righteous and read scriptures before he came. Jake Taylor drove to the run. Andrew is still a redhead. Abel forgot to bring Skylar today and he borrowed spandex from Mia and wore it this morning. :) Jason, Josh or Josh, Jared, Skylar, Chandler, Kyler, Reed, ALL THE FRESHMEN, Trent, and a lot of girls did NOT show up this morning.

PM- .5 prewarm, 1.5 warm, 4x1200 repeats w/recovery, 1.5 cool. Sucked it up in this workout today running a 3:57 on the first 1200 and then got in at around 4:20-4:25 on all the rest. First one killed me, but I did stick with Byron and Abel which was cool (they were running 1600). Felt nauseous from the 2nd one till the end and there were strong winds on the last 2.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Felt good this morning. Byron and I only had to go UB pace for about 200m to catch up cause we were late.

PM- .5 warm, 7 miles easy Green Springs. Felt super great and easy on this run. This is the farthest I have ever gone into Green Springs. The only drawback today was that my legs were killing me by the end. Hopefully they don't hurt this much tomorrow on the Michigan.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Felt good and it was a good easy pace. Legs still hurt from yesterday. Hopefully I can fix it by this afternoon for the michigan.

PM- .5 prewarm, 1.5 warm, 4.25 Michigan, 1.5 cool. Felt awful going into this run, but did surprisingly well with a PR of 26:30. I started out a little slow I think and stayed with Krenny the whole first half of the workout but then I started to speed up and ran on my own for the rest. Pretty uneventful Michigan for me personally. I have decided that I am no longer wimpy, slow, lame Preston and am now the fast, strong, cool Preston. "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done. It's always your choice." -Wayne Dyer

AM- 3 miles easy AC.

PM- .5 prewarm, 1.5 warm, 6x1000 w/recovery, 1.5 cool. Felt good on these and ran my fastest 1000s of the season with a 3:24, :26, :28, :25, :25, and 28. On the fifth one, Byron and Abel said that we should all try to stick with them on it and I promised myself that if I was not within 5 seconds of them, I would do another one. I was not even close to them on it and did another one with the Freshmen who were late.

Dixie Rock route. 11.3 miles total. 2 miles tempo. Tempo time: 12:54. Total time: 1:26:59. Average total pace: 7:42. Total calories burned: 1091. This was my longest run ever. I felt really good and accomplished my lifelong goal of running to Dixie Rock from my home. Mental note for next time: do it when it's light outside. It was super scary running in the dark. I felt like I was going pretty slow, but it was a pretty average pace for my regular runs. I really didn't want to run this far today, but I had jokingly told my mom that I was going to run to Dixie Rock and she said that I couldn't do it so I pretty much had to. This has also been my record mileage week! I am on the first page of the mileage board! :0
