Chelsi's 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:19:43 | |
AM-Today we ran 5x1000 (3 minute recovery) with 1 mile warm and cool. I hit around 4:55 on all of them. They're super slow, but I still hit a little faster than my time. I felt really tired today and I think I'll take a nap before I lift this afternoon. I want to be at my best at the 5k tonight. The only guys who I run with that are going to Chelsi's is Cam and Jake B. I wish our whole group would go and help push each other, but I'm just gonna have to try to keep up and help push Cam. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm hoping I get a big PR from last year.
Chelsi's- This was a pretty tough race. I tried my hardest, but I don't think I went hard enough. I'm pretty sure I could do much better if I keep at it and keep trying. The first lap, I hit around a 9:10 and then I slowed way down the second lap to a 10:33 (1.5 miles). I photofinished with Jason. I seriously have no clue who won it was that close. Overall, it was fun, but I didn't meet up with my expectations from me. |

AM- I woke up so tired from last night's race and was tempted to just go back to sleep, but I came to practice. We did 4 miles on the grass loops and then 8 striders. It was really tough today and I fell way behind everyone else. I swear I almost died on the striders. I think I'll be back to normal and ready tomorrow hopefully. I added a half a mile for kids club. (half a mile barefoot warmup) |

AM-Today we did the 30-30 workout. I did not do good at all. I made it to 14 and then couldn't go anymore. I'm still super tired and sore from the 5k. I think I am dehydrated also so I'm going to try to fix that today. We did a mile warmup and then me and Jason went on about a 2 mile cool down to get our mileage.
PM-Ran 3 miles on my own. Went up to the dirt mile from my house and did 2 laps and that didn't quite make three so I ran a little more on my street. And about halfway through my run I ran into coach! Haha. He was running up at the dirt mile for a little bit too. I decided to do this run a little bit easy. I ran an average of 7:24 per mile. And I ended up with a time of 22:14 (which by the way was faster than my first race last year). I'm starting to feel a little better from my soreness and I've been rehydrating a lot today. So I have decided to do a little experiment with the heart rates. I was wondering what my normal heart rate is in contrast with my resting heart rate when I wake up in the morning. So every day for the next little while, I will take my heart rate right when I wake up (6:30am) and at 3:00pm (before my afternoon runs). Today kind of surprised me. In the morning my RHR was 60bpm and at 3:00pm my HR was 60bpm. Isn't our RHR supposed to be lower? |

AM- Today I felt really good. I did 6 miles with a 2 mile tempo on the 4-5 miles. I ran the whole run with Andrew. It was pretty nice and probably the best I've felt in a "tempo" before. Our tempo pace was around 6:50-7:00 pace. I wanted to run in a bigger group but the other guys were going a little slower than I wanted to go on a tempo. Surprisingly, Me, Andrew, and Logan were the first level 2 guys back from the run. I felt good overall and I really enjoyed this run.
PM- It is so hot outside! I couldn't make it to team practice because I went to see Turbo (actually wasn't too bad. It inspired me and I almost cried once). So, I went on my own run when I got home. I did a loop that was roughly about 3.5, but I put 3 just in case. In my run, I ran into the cemetary and it gave me a wonderful idea for a race or marathon or something... The Death Race. It's not called that because of how hard it is, but because you run to all the cemetaries in the area... Starting at the Washington Cemetary. It would be so legit. And everytime you run to a grave of your close friend or family member, it will make you want to run faster for them. Before I die, I want to see The Death Race happen. RHR: 65 HR:72 |

| | AM- It was so tough this morning. First, we ran the region course for this year out in Bloomington which added up to 3 miles. It kind of gets me excited for region this year, but it gives me a reality of how tough running on the grass is compared to the asphalt. That wasn't too bad. The hard part was doing meat grinders (x2). If there are hills in hell, they would all be the Meat Grinder Hill (I don't know what it's called). It was so crappy. On the way down the first one, I was thinking,"Coach! Here's the part where you say 'Just kidding. We're only doing 1'". and then we all start cheering, but that didn't happen. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. I feel so accomplished to be able to do that though. So those added up to about 5 miles. (half a mile barefoot warmup). I have decided that Turbo is exactly the same as Ratatoullie. If you ever go see it, try to find the comparisons. There are tons. It might as well just be the same movie. RHR: 73 HR:56 |

Today I went on a late night run with some others. I showed up way early and decided to do a mile for the heck of it. I hit that one at about 7 minutes. Then when others showed up, we went on a 4 miler. We went pretty slow except for the very end we were all sprinting pretty much. It was fun. RHR:54 HR:55 |
