The King of Controversy

AM - 4.5 miles. Same warm up and then a vV02 test with 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down. The test was 6 min. hard around a 400 meter grass loop. I went 1610 meters which I was pretty happy about. I pushed as hard as I could and I am satisfied with my first workout of XC. My legs felt good today and all the soreness was gone.

AM - 5 miles. Same warm up, 3.75 miles on run, and then some more running at kids club. We went up to the dirt mile and did two laps around it. We got going pretty fast up there and it got a little hard to stay up with the group becuase we were going sub 7 min. pace and started sneaking down towards 6 min. pace. It was still a good run and a fun kids club.

AM - 4.5 miles. Same warm up and 3 barefoot miles at park with 8xbarefoot striders. This was a great run and my legs felt great. 

AM - 7.25 miles. Same warm up and then 2xParkway Loops. I didn't do that great. I've never done great with hill workouts or even just running hills in general and today wasn't much different. I tried to stay with the group but I just couldn't find any push today. My legs felt pretty good but I just wasn't tough mentally today. 

AM - 4.5 miles. Same warm up at Coral Canyon Park and then 4 miles easy on rolling hills. This was a really hard run because of the hills and I fell behind at the end of the run. It was good to run more hills because that is pretty much my #1 weakness. I was feeling a bit tired because I haven't been getting a whole lot of sleep.

AM - 3 miles easy in the poop-smelling fields with my brother and Nate Jones. It was a nice cool run but the stench was deathly. My legs felt amazing and it was nice to get my run in early.
