The King of Controversy

PM - 6 miles. Same old repeat Monday. 4x1000 (89% but I was supposed to do 87% again). I was feeling really tired today. I was supposed to be hitting 3:39. My times were 3:34, 3:37, 3:43, and 3:39. A lot better than last week getting around my times even though I ran a little fast at first.

PM - 5 miles (trail). The trail today was so hard. I still felt tired and that big hill and then the small little up hill after that didn't help. Need to get more sleep.

PM - 8 miles with 30 min. tempo AT pace (6:00). I ran really terrible again. I did exactly what I did last week. I was on pace for the first mile and fell off again. I was still feeling tired and my foot pain is starting to come back. Still need more sleep and need to stretch, roll, and ice better.

PM - 7 miles. Old Man Hills (1x800, 2x400, 4x200). I was still feeling tired so I decided to back off a little and try to run more consistently. I did really well and didn't fall off like I always do. I was even able to make the last 200 a little quicker. My foot felt better today but still tired. Weights after.

PM- 3 miles and striders. Little bit of a hectic run. We were handing out flyers for the 5k tommorow (a little late). I felt pretty good. I actually didn't feel as tired today which is good. My foot was fine but my right achilles/ankle hurt after the run.

Another fundraiser 5k to help with our LT tempo pace with 2 mile warm and 1 mile cool. It was a hard course and a bit long. I ran with some Desert Hills guys who are a lot faster than me but were taking it easy. My average pace was 6:20 which was a lot slower than what my tempo pace (5:40) was supposed to be but I probably would have run slower by myself.
