Excellent, excellent morning run. It was probably my best long run ever. We took it hard on the way back. There were a few times when I thought stopping would be nice and a good idea, but I knew I’d feel better with myself if I persisted, so that’s what I did. Afternoon was a good grass run where we focused on better form. We learned a lot of good things. 

Funny Thing I Heard Today- “You’re probably thinking, ‘I could live without this information.’”

Very productive session on weights this morning after I started out not being able to find clamps. The afternoon run was a Green Springs loop in which I was very satisfied with how I felt. That’s really all in the running department. 

Weights- Squat 3x5 of 245; Thrust 3x5 of 115; Deadlift 3x5 of 185

Funny Thing I Heard Today- “It could’ve been worse. I could’ve actually gotten asked.”

Super cold this morning, but still a good run. Workout in the afternoon and this was an excellent workout for me. I kept the pace very well and even pushed it at times, my form was pretty good, I think, for the most part, and I kept going when I was exhausted. Felt great to have a solid workout from beginning to end. 

Funny Thing I Heard Today- “I had a really bad day. I injured people and I drank soap.”

Ran before a killer weights session. Squats felt especially good. Afternoon was alright since we did one of my favorite routes. Good day to run. 

We’ve got the XC banquet tonight and I’m just realizing that I’m a senior. I’m not gonna cry or anything like that, but I’ll just say I made the right decision to become a runner. It’s been amazing so far thanks to my best friends and great coaches. I’ve loved every minute and I’m only going to get better as a runner and as a person. 

Weights- Squat 3x5 of 245; Bench 3x5 of 120; Thrust 3x5 of 115; Deadlift 3x5 of 185

Solid morning featuring a run, plyos and yoga. However, the afternoon was a tough one for me. Had some bowel troubles for the second day in a row. It’s all good though. Did Logan’s fun run in the dark. It was ight.

Went and helped with Alex’s current issues project. We did some good work on mustang pass. It was pretty tough, but not as hard as running with a shovel. Jose said running with the tools probably made up for the rest of our time, so I believed him.
