INTERVALS

Today we ran 400, 800, 400, 800, 400, 800, 400.

It was pretty tough but I am glad to see that everyone was able to stick with it. There was kind of a lot of wind on the backstretch but I managed to power through it, but ended up suffering on the homestretch almost every lap when I started really pushing it.

I don't have times though because I did not have a watch but I felt that my times were pretty good considering the lack of tread on my shoes.

Another day

Today we ran a four mile loop. I was impressed with two of my teammates who kept up the pace against that horrible wind. I was especially impressed with the freshman that kept up with the top two distance runners at school.

I think that he has a lot of potential and might be able to go under five minutes in the mile this season if he really works hard at it.

Tomorrow is a speed day, I am really looking forward to that.

No run today...

Today I did a brief ab workout and some weights, I didn't run because practice was cancelled and I had a hard day yesterday so I figured that it was deserved.

Tomorrow I am not too sure what I am going to be running, probably some kind of distance, but short distance like five miles? Maybe some mile repeats? We'll see...

I am so sorry

I have been very busy with school and running and work and many other activities that I have really neglected this... but I am going to do my best to just write something each night, it can't be that hard right? It only take a couple minutes.

Today I ran four miles. The first mile was a nice and slow jog around a one mile loop with the distance squad. Then I did three laps on my own, I don't know how my pacing was because I did not have my watch with me but I felt that it was pretty solid.

I was going to run five miles total but my right foot was going numb, I would assume that it was from the new shoes.

Wow I am really sorry for being missing for so long... I have been running though, even if it has just been on the treadmill. I had track practice on Tuesday and am going to be on it tomorrow as well. I did approximately a 4.5 mile run on Saturday in a big park about ten miles from my house. On Tuesday I ran a 6x400 meters with some of the team. I did not have my watch on me so I was unable to get my times.

I did make sure to go harder on the last half compared to the first half.

I will be sure to be more up to date on my updates of runs.

Today I did another treadmill run hays. That's okay though because it was a super easy today run today, I did only 1.5 miles today in a time of 12:24.

Tomorrow morning I would like to go for a run but I need to be at work at seven so that might not happen... wish me luck haha

Today I ran on the treadmill again. I made sure to incline the treadmill so that I got a better workout and kept it at a reasonable pace. Unfortunately, I kept unplugging the safety on the treadmill three times and it erased the data for my run each time.

I am estimating the distance that I covered and the time that I ran but I believe them to be very close to the real numbers. I ran about 2.4 miles in about 18 minutes with about a 3% incline with a slight increase in incline later on.

At first I really didn't want to run today because of how tired I am and I had a headache because of my lack of sleep. Staying up late and waking up early for work isn't very fun... haha. When school starts on Monday I am going to definitely going to have to get to sleep earlier.
