The King of Controversy

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Good run. Hamstring feels a little tired but it is all the way better now. 

PM - 6 miles. 4x1000 at 87% (goal - 3:24) with 3 min recovery and 2x300 all out with full recovery. My Kosmin slowed down my repeats but it actually made them harder in a way since I'm leading a group instead of sitting with Skylar like I was before. I ran pretty good though hitting 3:23, 3:20, 3:19, and 3:18. I was feeling a little antsy to get back with Skylar, Paul, and Nick but I know that I have to be patient with it and soon I'll get back where I want to be. 300s were some of my best yet as I hit :43 for both and actually beat Nick on one for the first time ever even if he wasn't feeling too great. Legs felt like jello after.

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. This run was so freaking cold because it was raining. My face almost fell off. 

PM - 8 miles. 55 min and striders. I was so freakin cold today so I cut the last five minutes to get a long sleeve on. Okay run. Felt a bit tired but just mostly cold. 

AM - 4 miles. Felt a bit tired this morning. Not my legs so much but just overall it feels like I'm not getting enough sleep. 

PM - 4 miles. 4x300 at 400 race pace (goal - 43) with 120 beat recovery. Times - :44, :44, :49, :49. Tough workout today. I ran pretty good on my first two but that made me pretty tired for the last two. I also tightened up a bunch on the last two. I need to work on staying relaxed not just towards the ends of workouts but also the end of races. I know I always sucked at the 800 because my last 400 was garbage. 

AM - 4 miles. Felt pretty good this morning. 

PM - 7 miles. 45 min easy with 4x200. We did a reverse Foremaster run which absolutely sucks. It's just a really hard run but I at least had fun running with the team. Can't believe our first track meet is tomorrow. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - I hate all the bees in the world. Bees suck and they sting you sometimes. We should kill all the bees in the world. 

PM - 8 miles. 60 min with 15 min progression tempo AT to LT (5:45 to 5:25). Got out just after dark and it was such a nice temperature sadly my tempo wasn't nearly as nice. I was feeling pretty good, a couple aches here and there but still pretty dang good. I couldn't seem to hit the pace I was supposed to go though. I didn't worry too much about it and instead tried to focus on my form. My form used to be almost perfect but over the last year or so it's just deteriorated. I got to keep working on it. Anyways the tempo ended up being more like 6:00 pace down to 5:40 so still a nice speed up but not what I was looking for. Even though I didn't hit my pace, I felt like it was a good workout. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - After yesterday's meet, Pine View now has the top 3 - 800 runners, top 4 - 3200 runners, and top 2 - 4x400 teams in Region 9. Pine View is looking like the favorite to win Region this year.
