The King of Controversy

AM - 10 miles. 88 min easy. Average Pace: 8:48. Trail Run - Suicidal Tendencies. Really beast trail run today. It's a really fun and beautiful trail but it's so tough and it what made it worse was that I was still extremely sore from Friday and Saturday. I survived though and I didn't commit suicide so I say that it was a success. 

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. FIRST MORNING RUN OF TRACK!!! Super glad to be back to morning runs, they are so fun. I was still really sore this morning but definitely felt better.

PM - 6 miles. 3x1000 at 85% (goal: 3:23) with 3 min recovery. Times: 3:20, 3:18, 3:15. Good and pretty easy workout today. Still felt sore but that really didn't bother me during the workout. I just stuck right on Skylar the whole time. I like doing 1000s better than 1600s but it feels weird to only be running with Skylar and Paul.

PM - 8.5 miles. 60 min easy. Ran out on the Boardwalk trail. It was a fun run but my legs were absolutely exhausted. My legs just haven't had time to recover from last week.

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Still felt pretty tired this morning. I think part of it was I didn't get to bed on time because I went to Cedar for the game.

PM - 6.5 miles. 45 min with 15 min AT tempo (goal pace: 5:42). Not really a good workout. We decided to try doing the tempo on the track for the first time and I liked it but I just didn't run very well. I stuck with the group for the first mile and then just fell off from there. Tempos have never been my strongest thing so I got to work on that.

PM - 5.5 miles. 55 min easy. Trail Run - Ice House. Felt absolutely terrible today so this trail just made it worse. My legs were fried and the whole way up the hill my legs would tighten up and I had to stop a lot. I turned around early with Alex, Josie, and Macen because I knew I couldn't go any farther. 

PM - 5 miles. 40 min with 10 min LT tempo (goal pace - 5:22). Still didn't feel extremely great today so I cut my workout and run short today. I did my tempo down the nowhere trail. I hit about a 5:40 average for the tempo so way off where I was hoping to be even with the help of the downhill. This has been a rough week for me. Legs have felt like crap the whole week. Goal for next week is to get back to 100%.
