We are who we choose to be.

AM- Easy 3. Felt pretty good. Monday morning soreness as always, but it felt better by the afternoon. Plyos afterwards and they went okay. All today during school my arch was killing me and it was so uncomfortable to walk. It still feels like that now.

PM- 5x1000 repeats 91%. I was supposed to hit a 4:10, but went a little fast on the first one and just got faster after that. I went 4:06, :405, 3:58, 3:56, and 3:54. Felt really super tired during this workout and it felt like I was pushing it pretty hard. 1.5 miles warm/cool. Weights afterwards.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Me and Byron were a little late and I decided to go a little faster and try to catch up to the guys. I was by "myself" for about a mile during the run then I caught Colton and eventually the rest of the guys. I honestly don't know what makes the huge difference when I run by myself as opposed to with everyone, but I go faster, stronger, and seem to hurt less when I'm by myself. I need to learn how to reverse that!

PM- .5 warmup, 1 mile warmup. Our top JV guys (and me :P) had a time trial today to see who would get the final varsity spot. I wasn't planning on racing it, but decided to last minute. So we did 6 1/1s and then we lined up for the 1.5 mile trial. I felt like I did pretty good even though I wasn't up with the front guys. I finished 7th out of the 10 of us. Which ranks me 6th (non-scoring) on JV! I've got to change that! Cooled down to 5.5

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. We went a little quick (around sub 7 pace) this morning which usually happens when coach isn't there. Did plyos afterwards and on the side sides I hurt my arch pretty bad! During school it didn't bother me as much though.

PM- .5 warm, 1 warm, Michigan, 1 cool, striders, weights. I felt pretty pumped for Michigans today because of the race yesterday! I was determined to get B standard (28:10) and I completely demolished my goal with a 26:47!! There was nobody within 20 seconds of me in front or behind me when I finished and for most of the race. My arch started bugging me at about mile 3 and never went away, but that was just a minor setback. I felt like I did really good today and I just hope to improve each time. Striders afterwards felt easier than ever.

AM- 3 miles easy barefoot. Super nice weather for running! If every run was this temperature, that would be heaven! Felt good this morning, no pain or injury to report.

PM- .5 mile warm, 5 miles easy Sandberg route then 4x200s. Felt pretty good today, but we were going, as always in these "easy" runs, too fast for my liking. Kept up just fine and did pretty good on the 200s. Just another day in the hood.

AM- Nice and easy 3 miles AC route. I was really surprised at how many people showed up! The most in a while! Felt good during the run.

PM- 4 miles easy Green Springs route. We went a pretty nice pace the whole time and I had no trouble keeping up with the group. Hardly anybody showed up to practice today! Finished practice before 4 today!

Night Run- 6 miles easy. Met up with some of the guys and did our distance runs from the double churches, up on telegraph and past that. Me Krenshaw and Andrew were the only guys there going 6 so we had it a little easier than the other guys. I felt like I had to throw up the whole time because I had a breakfast burrito half an hour before, but that didn't stop me. Night run=heaven.
