The King of Controversy

Workout Day. I was supposed to run 8 miles but I only did about half of the 1000's so I only did about 7 miles. Unfortunately, I was still sick but I also wasn't feeling the workout today. It is so hard to run when I'm sick, I hope to be better soon.

The Level 2 Boys ran the DI Loop for warm up. I felt like I raced really well considering my goal coming into it. I really wanted to beat Jake Taylor because I'm always just a little bit behind him so I tried to stay up with him the whole time. I was behind him for a lot of the first lap but in the second lap I was pretty much running with him. Sometimes I would get ahead and sometimes he would get ahead but we were right next to each other for the whole second lap. We were pretty close for most of the third lap until the end where I put on my wheels and left him in the dust. On the last 50 meters I felt so tired so my finish was not fast and I ended up laying down at the end of the race. After the race we did a cool down around the course picking up cones and then did a hill workout. We only did five hills so it wasn't that bad. 

We ran roller coasters today. I felt pretty good the whole way to the roller coasters considering how I've felt the past week but I died on the roller coasters. At first I was pretty much walking them but I slowly found my rhythm and started running most of the time. After the roller coasters, I felt horrible and could barely run. No it wasn't my legs, it was my stomach. I had to go the bathroom really bad. I ran and walked off and on till the park where I finally was able to relive myself and I felt way better the rest of the run. My legs hurt the rest of the way because I had rested too much and I still found myself taking frequent stops. I didn't run the striders or do the plyos but I did the weights. I was still sick today but I'm feeling way better and should be alright by next week.

Today's Run Was So AWESOME!!! We ran the 5 mile Sandberg's run and took a swim while we were there. I was still a little sick today but so much better than the past couple of days. I felt great and only stopped once at the top of that one hill. I ran the rest of the way and what made this run even better was the swim. It smelt bad towards the end but it felt so good. I ran the 200's afterwards and I felt like I was back to my old self again. There is only one word to describe my run today and that is: AWESOME!!!

Another workout day with Harts warm and cool, 8x200, and 2x5 minutes. I didn't feel as good as I did yesterday but at least the workout wasn't as hard. I ran pretty hard on the 200's and on my first 5 minute but on my last 5 minute, I didn't run very hard and almost got lapped by the other boys but it was still a pretty strong workout for me.
