The King of Controversy

PM - 7 miles. We did 5x1000 today with Harts warm and cool. I was feeling good but ran poorly. Not the greatest workout for me. 

AM - 3 miles. Same old.

PM - 5 mile run and then striders. I felt great and led the pack for a lot of the run. Striders, my favorite cool down, were a blast. My foot is feeling way better but still hurt towards the end of the run. 

AM - 3 miles. Arctic Circle. Super Cold. Not much fun.

PM - 5 miles easy and then 4x200. Coach was really happy with how I almost always lead out the pack and I did just that for the first half of the run but started feeling like crap on the second half. I fell off extremely at the end and was kind of embarrassed after getting congratulated for sticking with the big pack.

PM - 6 mile killer Sunrise Hill workout. I led the pack again with Jason (again) over to the hill. We had a pretty small group even with the Varsity being gone. I guess some people thought they could ditch without Coach knowing but they thought wrong (Josh, Jake T, other Jason). Okay, I'm sure they had a good excuse. Anyways, the workout was actually really good today. Yes it was hard but I had a lot of fun with it (sounds weird, I know). I did 5 hills and on the first one my lungs were on fire and my legs were burning and I thought "Oh great, another crappy workout". But it only got better from there, I didn't get much faster but felt better as it went on and I felt like I was running pretty consistently. On the run back, I led the pack again and surprisingly didn't feel very tired. Way better than last time we did this workout.

PM - 5 miles. Nice easy run to Target and back. We left really early but overall still had lame attendance (that's including those we left behind). I'm sure they have a good reason but still. Anyways I got left behind too but once I caught up, I led the group again. It was actually a really fun run even with our really small numbers.

5 miles. I ran to Target again (yes the same way 3 days in a row). I went about 5 pm and even though the weather was really nice, I wore a jacket. Nice slow pace. Nice short run.
