shoes: Asics GT 2120 (apr08)

Running race 18:57 [5] 5.0 km (3:47 / km)
shoes: Asics GT 2120 (apr08)

started out too slow, but we picked it up after. Had to deal with a cramp again which was annoying so even though i was hoping for a faster time (1830) i am still fairly pleased with this time. Also i beat my old record(1950) by 53s so at least i'm moving in the right direction. Still got a lot of work to do though if i want to get even faster this spring.

Running 1:00:00 [2]
shoes: Asics GT 2120 (apr08)

steady down the canal past bank st. At dow's lake on the way there you could see lots of BIG dead fish. Don't know what kind they were. Then on the way back at dow's lake again i saw 2-3 HUGE fish jumping out of the water...crazy..

Went with Igor's drink 1L of water before run trick to get rid of cramps.
But had a cramp the whole way, and could feel the water in my stomach/had to pee. At least it was a manageable one, that was sorta going away when i tried a breathing exercise.

shoes: Asics GT 2120 (apr08)

Running tempo 11:50 [3]

had a bit of a cramp warming up but decided to do a 3k anyways. Wanted to not go out too fast this time, but i ended up going a bit too slow i think, then maybe 2/3 of the way the cramp got worse so i just jogged back. A bit mad, i dont know whats going on with these.

control picking exercise looking for small pices of paper as controls. 3 / 27 were in the wrong spot and couldnt find them so wasted time there,+ made lots of mistakes. was really good practice for reading control descriptions though and for establishing a flow.

doing route choice "races" around campus. It was really fun! Some of my routes weren't very good, but my best was cutting throught the tunnels from athletics to the library and almost winning.

Skiing 30:00 [1]

very crappy ski in the slushy snow. should have ran on the track or something. not too worried though as i'll probably get in some long hours this weekend.

got a wobble board! it's pretty sweet for just playing around on while watching tv.

Innebandy 20:00 [3]

Tuesday Apr 1, 2008 #

Running race 11:00 [4] 3.0 km (3:40 / km)

Running warm up/down 37:00 [1]

started off not being able to complete a lap because of my left knee hurting this time. Dont know what it is, my knee cap was just hurting everytime i landed on that leg. then once my knee felt better once i warmed up for 20min i did a time trial. was a bit weird becuase i did my first km in like 325 then i looked at my watch for the second km and i was at 715 :S I didnt think think i slowed down too much on the second...? Then i kinda died a bit more on the third. i was hoping to be more like 10.45, but apparently im not as fit as i thought i was. but then again i was thinking that i probably lose about 2 seconds a lap becuase of the corners on the track so i can probably shave off ~30s on a real track :P ;) No i have a lot of work to do in the next month if i want to get <10.30.
