The King of Controversy

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Morning runs are really warm now which is nice. 

PM - 6.25 miles. 45 min easy with striders. I didn't feel too great today. Something was up with my stomach and I felt pretty tired too. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Should Grant Fisher have been disqualified for his steps off the track at New Balance Indoor Nationals? I think it's ridiculous that Fisher didn't get a DQ for his steps off the track during the mile. I mean he took like five steps off the track. In any other race, even small local meets like the Hurricane Invite this weekend, he would have been DQ. It's ridiculous that he didn't. This wasn't some joke meet! It was Nationals! How stupid are those officials?

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Felt decent.

PM - 6 miles. 6x400 at goal 800 pace (goal - 1:00) with 120 beat recovery. Not a good day. Times were really slow. 1:04, 1:02, 1:10, 1:11, 1:06, 1:12. I just felt so exhausted today and could not get moving. The most disappointing thing about this workout is that I had some really solid workouts the last couple weeks or so until this one.

Controversial Topic of The Day - Is Kentucky really going to win the NCAA tournament? I really don't think Kentucky is going to win. I think they are overrated and will choke when it matters most. Arizona, Wisconsin, and Virgina should be the teams to look out for. They are really good teams that I think everyone has underrated. If anyone is going to win it will be those three not Kentucky or as a good friend once called them Kencucky. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Ran by myself earlier this morning because I made Preference Royalty and had to practice for the assembly this morning. 

PM - 6.25 miles. 45 min easy and 4x200. Pre race run to Sandbergs. First time jumping in since winter. It was probably the coldest it has ever been when I have jumped in and it felt really good on my legs. I'm only running the 800 and the 4x400 at Hurricane so I'm not racing to Saturday which I think is good. My legs feel kind of tired right now.

Controversial Topic of The Day - Did King Chezerk let Peasant Jenkins win the Men's 3k at NCAA Indoor Nationals? I think Edward Chezerk let his teammate Eric Jenkins win so that he could get his first NCAA title.

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Another run by myself because of Preference Assembly practice. I ended up winning Best Legs which is pretty cool.

PM - 6 miles. 45 min easy. Just got miles in at the track meet since I wasn't racing today. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Do you wear socks with your spikes? I've always wore socks with my spikes but I've seen quite a few people go sockless in their spikes when they race. I'm not exactly sure why they do it because I would probabaly get some nasty blisters if I did that. Comment below which you do and why.

AM - 5.75 miles. Nice chill shakeout run this morning with Nick, Paul, and Bryan once we got to the meet. The weather was super nice and I felt good. 

PM - 3.5 miles. Hurricane Invite 800 meter and 4x400. The plan today was to stick right behind Nick and Paul. I was a little nervous to get out fast like I did in the 1600 at Hurricane All-Comers a couple weeks ago and so I lost them from the beginning. First lap was 61. Second lap was a lot better than most of the other 800s I have run before but that's not saying much. Not what I was looking to do today but a good starting point for the season. 2:08 is a much better starting point than the 2:19 I ran at this same meet last year. The 4x400 was just a little bit after the 800 and it went okay. I ran a 56 and our team ran a 3:44. We took barely took 3rd but Hurricane messed up the results (only one of the many times they messed up at this meet) and it says we took 4th. They messed up so much crap at this meet.

Controversial Topic of The Day - Nothing today. Sorry.
