 | Running race 19:30 [5] 3.1 mi (6:18 / mi) vdot: 51.2 | |
| shoes: Asics GEL-1120 |
| Blue & Gold race today. Gold won every section =D
A bit disappointed with my time..although it's a PR. 4th place - (who called it), still, I think I could have done better. Perhaps I went out too fast? Goal for this year is sub-19, which is very reachable at this point. I still could have raced better. |

Thursday Aug 30 |
| Running 30:45 [3] 4.5 mi (6:50 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GEL-1120 |
| Easy run with Nate, Alex, Marcin (if he counts with his shortcuts), and Chris Mauro |
| Pumping Iron 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Lifting with Nate (as usual; Klehr wants us to use partners cause we're such slackers) |
| Kickball 30:00 [5] | |
| shoes: Asics GEL-1120 |
| Intense kickball. Lost 14-3 as Blue takes the lead in the competition. |
| Note | |
| |
| All "carbed" up for the run tomorrow..had some rice stir-fry for dinner, followed up by some whole-grain pretzel rods. Looking for #3 in the rankings behind Nate Lyons and Alex Brett. Getting some decent rest in, good breakfast..we'll see when the times come in.
What am i thinking..#3? I have to consider Pat and Chris Mauro. Still..#3 is quite tantalizing to think about.. |
Tuesday Aug 28 |
| Running 53:00 [3] 6.75 mi (7:51 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GEL-1120 |
| Run with somewhat different people today; Nate, Pat, Alex, and Chris Mauro. Long Schroeder route; decent pace. |

| Lifted some weights - Can feel my muscles getting more defined and stronger. |

| Running 11:55 [4] 2.0 mi (5:57 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GEL-1120 |
| 2-Mile tempo/timed. Edged Nate for the race-style finish at the end, he wanted it more. Pushed for under 12, fast pace. If I can keep that up for another mile, sub-18 is in store for this season. |

| Really fun Orienteering thing, i'd do SO much better the next time I did it. Now that I know how to use a map, (seriously..) I'd do much better. If theres ever another near Webster, I'm there. |

| I'm getting new running shoes tomorrow (because apparently they smell..who had that preposterous hypothesis..just running in a monstrous metropolis) - little rhyme there - ok if anyone wants to make suggestions feel free. I've had my Asics since January,if that helps. Alot of miles on them, time to kill. |

Wednesday Aug 22 |
| Running hills 4:50 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| Some freaking awesome hills - Not lying, I worked REALLY hard on those and they felt great. With quick work of a calculator, figured that each session being 45 seconds, x6, /60, 4.5 minutes of hills. Perhaps a play on multiples of 10 there coach? My guess is just coincidence. If anyone would be so kind as to suggest an incline, I'll happily log that as well. |
| Running intervals1.5 mi ( / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| Six fast 400m runs. Splits; 74s, 75s, 76s, 82s, 77s, 74s - Thanks Nate! Hope you don't mind my technique with those, came in right behind you every time except the last, so I just added a second each.
Note: Knee is MUCH better after two nights of ice with one completed with 3 advil. Didn't bother me at practice! - Same plan for tonight. Might not make practice tomorrow due to work; didn't know it would be in the morning..and 'DISQO' is doing some surveys tomorrow morning. |

| errgghh..who made patella tendinitis. Ran 20 with main group, couldn't take it anymore, dropped out. feel like a failure. perhaps this is punishment for me writing out Chris.
it's ice time - mom says she's not driving me to practice tomorrow...we'll see about that >XD |

Monday Aug 20 |
| Running 1:00:00 [4] 9.0 mi (6:40 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| 15 min. warmup, 10 min. tempo, 1 min break, 10 min. tempo, 15 minute cooldown.
Ran with Nate, Jake Bober, Ty Saunders. Found Alex and Josh Prahler halfway into cooldown. (despite reports of others, that's the way it went. freaking hypocrites).
Note; Chris Mauro humors me. Running on pure blatant talent, (truly), he could be putting in MUCH more effort than he actually is. He lost us within the first 10 minutes of warmup, (apparently I led too fast?! - on that note, we were going SLOW, so I couldn't take it) - and ran basically by himself, (came back with the girl group for quite obvious reasons). What angers me is that he has sufficient talent to not work and compete for the Top-7, and doesn't utilize it at practices which could greatly benefit him. His stride-outs were predictably apt of him, if anyone was watching. Perhaps 'humors' is the wrong word. |

| Running 35:00 [3] 5.0 mi (7:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| Run with Bobby and Alex. It's so much better to lead, you're not always looking down at the feet of the person in front of you, and you get more wind and a feeling of being fast. Got lost for a bit, ran back on a road. |

| Steve Prefontaine ran "4-8 miles a day, depending on the weather and how he felt". ?!?! -How could this guy pull it off, and be a record-setter? Genetics? Kids today run more than that, and don't even come close. |

| Schroeder guys run (YEA!) with Alex, Nico, and Dan. We ran on the 'Keep-Out' trail for a bit, that was fun. Worked as hard as we would all together. SHAKESPEARE WAS CANCELED!! |

| Great workout - pumped more than usual. Better yet, there was no Shakespeare last night, and hopefully there won't be any tonight either due to predicted thunderstorms, and I can run freely. |
| Running (Fartlek) 1:03:00 [4] 8.5 mi (7:24 / mi) | |

| Fartlek run with Alex (Thomas), John Hohl, Matt (Thomas), Nico, and Dan Hohl. Glad I kept up the whole time, didn't think I'd be able to - thanks to Nico for pushing me through, it helped. Don't know how many sprints..6 I think. SHAKESPEARE WAS CANCELED DO TO RAIN! |

| Running long 1:30:00 [4] 11.0 mi (8:10 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| LONG run with John, Bobby, Alex, Jake, and Dan. Glad I stuck it out for the whole thing - even that last mile with the rollers. Felt really good afterwards - good to have a day off from work and run 11 miles. |
Friday Aug 3 |

| Hope it RAINS tonight, and there's no Shakespeare.
Perhaps I'll go for a bike ride. |
Thursday Aug 2 |
| Running 1:00:00 [4] 8.5 mi (7:03 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics - GT-2120 |
| Hard run with the same group again; off with Nico for the last 15 minutes or so. It was deathly hot, so we stopped for water, which somewhat cramped us. |
| Pumping Iron 1:00:00 [4] | |
| |
| Yea, I lifted again. Tyler was there - thought he died or something. |
| Note | |
| |
| 'Shakespeare Fest' is tiring beyond belief.I get home at 11:30 exhausted from sitting there doing nothing except drum when the cues come (sitting down), and I get up early the next morning for XC. 8 NIGHTS! This is preposterous. I should fake being sick with chronic pneumonia for a day. Get up early, work till 3, sleep for an hour, usually XC camp, otherwise straight to freaking Shakespeare. Ridiculous. |
