The King of Controversy

AM - 3 miles. Normal 3 miles. My foot pain was on fire today. Plyos after.

PM -  7.75 miles. 6x1000 (goal- 4:15). My times were 4:00, 4:12, 4:10, 4:10, 4:17, and 4:08. Pretty hard workout today. It was super hot and my legs weren't feeling great. I felt tired and my foot hurt pretty bad. I just haven't been taking care of my body like I should. Weights after. 

AM - 3 miles. Normal 3. My foot was feeling better today but it still hurt so I iced it.

PM - 7.5 miles. Super hot today. I was able to stay with the boys for most of it but just fell off at the end. I just haven't been as hydrated as I need to be. My foot is kind of weird. It barely hurts when I run but hurts quite a bit when I'm not. So I don't know if should be happy because I can run with no problems or sad because it still hurts.

AM - 3 miles. Normal AC run. Foot is feeling pretty good. It still mostly hurts when I'm not running.

PM - 7 miles. 1/1 workout today. I was able to max out to 15. It wasn't too hot today and we had the sprinkler out so that made it feel better but I was also pretty hydrated today. I felt really strong today but I didn't much sleep last nights so I need to work on that. Foot felt okay. 

AM - 7 miles. Old Man Hills - 3x800. I did my workout this morning (with my brother) because I have a Dentist Appointment this afternoon. I had a pretty good workout today. It was kind of hard because I had no one to push with but I still felt like I did good. My times respectively were 3:07, 3:05, and 2:52. My foot is still about the same (it doesn't really bother me when I run). 

PM - 2.5 miles. I ran with the boys for 1.5 miles then flipped it but I was already running late for my Dentist Appointment so my mom came and picked me up before I could finish. So I didn't get the full 3 miles in. My foot was about the same as this morning but my shin hurt a little at the beginning. I just haven't been taking care of my body like I should. 

AM - 3 miles. We did barefoot this morning around the baseball field. It was a pretty good run. 

PM - 6.5 miles. 5 miles with 4x200 after. It was a nice run to Sandbergs today. My foot still hurts but didn't really bother me today.

Race - Warmed up 1.5 miles and then waited forever for them to shoot the gun. I got out a little slower than I did at Hurricane and I ended up being like middle pack because everybody thought that we were actually running the 200 meter not the 3 mile. I worked my way up eventually (with a few little shoves, pushes, and elbows). I ran okay for the first half but I just did not stay mentally tough and I fell back. I know I can run faster than this, I've done it so many times before. I know I can run with Andrew, Jake, Preston, Jason, and Josh. I also know that I can beat all of them (I've beat all of them). I know that physically I can run fast times and run great races but what really holds me back is my mental toughness. I'll just have to get refocused next week and go kill the time trial.
