P.M - I was really worried about todays run. Though out school my legs were really tired and not feeling rested from the weekend like they should. The rain only added to my worries. I kept thinking how am I going to keep up for 80 min. Luckily when practice came around coach swapped the long run for tomorrow’s run. I had 45 min which I felt way better about. The run was hard at first but coach told us that if we were tired even with the weekend we should just run though it. I didn’t get any relief until at about 30 min when all of the sudden I wasn’t tired anymore and I felt like I could go way longer. This is one of the first times that I had wished I didn’t have to turn back to the school so soon. One this I can work on is my hill running. Hills kill me and that’s where I always fall behind. I am glad we started doing hill circuits on a few days because I think that will really help.

P.M. - 40 min I felt pretty good today I ran a little bit with Logan at the 5k which was pretty fun. My shoes kept coming untied so I should probably tie them better so I don’t have to keep stopping.

P.M. - 50 min with 3 hill circuits. I feel kind of crappy on the way to formaster and on my way back but when I got back to the high school I started feeling good. I think I was tired from the workout yesterday. My hill circuits were way good and I ran my last 2 with the guys.

A.M. - Weights and 15 min run. My legs felt pretty tired but they got better for the last 5 minuets of the run.

P.M. - 50 Min 10 warm and then 4x1min @ CV, 6x1min 3 @ Tempo 3 @ Treshhold, 4x1min @ CV. 10 min cool. During the warm up I was tired for weights and I didn’t know how well the work out was going to go but as soon as I started it was great! We made sure to work on some form stuff like knee drive and hammering your arms down. I got a little tired on the last two CV but I stuck in and finished. Over all it was a great workout!

A.M. - 25 Easy Run. I felt really good my arms have been really tired lately but it felt fine this morning.

P.M. - 50 Min run with 6 Striders. Dang I felt great!! It’s so good to run with the guys and I really think that morning practice helped with that. I have been keeping up on my one leg squats and I have actually noticed my legs not being as tired and my knee has stoped hurting so that’s good!
