The King of Controversy

AM - 3 miles. Normal AC run with a little rain.

PM - 4.5 miles. 6 min. vVO2 test again. I just told myself to go with Andrew (and beat him if I could). I got out right with Andrew but I soon took the lead and he never quite passed me again. I got 2 laps and 179 meters which is much better than the last time that we did this so at least I know I'm improving.

AM - 3 miles. Normal route. It stopped raining right as we started running so that was kind of bummer.

PM - 5.5 miles. Dog Pound Tempo today with striders after. We were going super fast today on the tempo. Even though it was down hill, we were still flying. For like the first time ever Coach had us to slow down instead of pick it up (that's how fast we were going). My foot is still hurting but it seems to be getting a little better. 

AM - 3 miles. Same old morning. Race - Had team pics at 5 pm and then ran a warm up of 1.5 miles. I put on my spikes and then did some strides before the race started. I didn't get out very fast at the beginning because I got trapped behind a bunch of guys. I weaved my way through some guys and I got right where I wanted to be with Andrew. I stuck with Andrew for most of the first lap before I started to push ahead just a little. I tried to push up with Reed on the second lap but I was just too tired to do it. I stayed right where I was for pretty much the rest of the race. I was too tired to push up to Reed on the last lap and I didn't have much of a kick but I still was able to keep my lead on Andrew for the rest of the race. Super happy with the results. I was pretty much in the same place I was at the last time trial and I was able to get a 14 second PR on this course. I really need to learn to carry these time trial results over to real races.

AM - 3 miles barefoot on baseball field. My foot is starting to feel a lot better but still not 100%.

AM - 4 miles. 3 miles and then 4x200. We did our 200s on the grass with hay bales to help the guys racing at AF get some practice. It was super fun.

PM -4.5 miles. Trevor had the ingenious idea of going on an ice cream run today. It proved to be  one of the best ideas ever since it was boiling hot today. There are perks to being a JV guy.

AM - 5 miles. I got my run in around 10ish but it was still pretty cool. Sadly it was humid and that made it terrible. My foot is still getting better which is good. My goal for this next week is to try and get it back to 100%.
