Kilometer Killer

AM over 1:20:00; 7:43 pace; 8x100 hills

PM over 25:00; 7:48 pace

I freaking love 80 minute runs. It's definitely the perfect amount of time. I had another good hill workout on a road by Dixie rock and I just felt good overall this morning. Afternoon was way chill; we went over to 2450 park for 10 minutes of barefoot grass. Great day for running

PM over 54:34; 7:49 pace

Ran before weights today because of trilogy. I pushed the pace a bit (I tend to do that when I'm alone.) Afternoon felt really hot, and I was just a tad worn out, but I persisted to the full time. I'm ready to race tomorrow. 

Weights- Squat 3x5 of 275; Bench 3x5 of 115; Deadlift 3x5 of 205

PM Hurricane Invitational 

Well I went into the race really excited and pretty confident. But it wasn't a good race. I can't really say I felt bad or anything. As hard as it is to say, I just did not step up. What am I gonna start doing when it starts to hurt? I've gotta make a plan. I'm glad my teammates had really good races. I'm gonna learn from this race, but it isn't gonna ruin my next race or the rest of my season. 

AM just weights

PM over 48:27; 7:22 pace; 8x striders 

Crazy storm this morning so none of us got to run after weights. In the afternoon, we had to wait a bit for the storm to blow over, so coach had us do some ab work as a team. It was a tough little workout to be totally honest, but I'm sure I would get better at it with a few more tries. We just did a chill run down River Rd. followed with some striders. Pretty good day to run. 

Weights- Squat 3x5 of 275; Bench 3x5 of 115; Thrust 3x5 of 115

AM over 25:00; 7:35 pace

PM over  57:13; 7:10ish pace; 15 min. tempo

Morning run felt really good. I told the guys about my weird dream last night. Did plyos for the first time this season and followed it up with the usual yoga session with Fiji. We did the same workout today that we did, I think, two weeks ago. I'd say I did a little better than the last time. I really really pushed the middle. That's where bad races have gotten me, so I decided to focus on that. However, my finish wasn't what it should have been. Always things to work on. That's the beautiful thing about running: no matter who you are or what you've done, you can work on certain things to "make weak things become strong" (Ether 12:27).

The run this morning was just splendid. We went down into Hell hole and turned up towards the dump. We went along the top of a ridge in order to get to a turning point. It was just a really fun run with my bros. The car wash was pretty good. I was at the drying station, but I was also the tip man. We got A TON of tips; I bet there was more than $300 in that bucket. I got a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders. No worries though. Good day
