| Yea...ran with Bobby, (and Nate and JP for a little before they started whining) - not very much running, because my legs are a BIT sore, and I'd rather keep it on the safe side. |

| Lifting..with the team...plus AJ, who always brings his Gameboy to lifting sessions, and then harasses Nico during the intervals, causing Nico to obviously not let up trying to equally harass him, as well. |

| Running 1:11:22 [5] 10.0 mi (7:08 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GT-2130 |
| Hi-Octane 10-miler at Spry - felt good throughout the race, probably should have felt different - We almost ran past Nico's house..thought of knocking on his door. Kept pace at around 6:50 to 7:30 the entire race, but looking at my splits, I wasn't as consistent as I hoped. I obviously slowed down starting at the third mile, but my slowest mile was 7:32. One guy helped me out on pacing, ran right next to me for 3 miles, then sped up a little. Happy with my time. |

| Running 47:13 [3] 6.8 mi (6:56 / mi) | |

| Ran with (ahead of) Joe and John at practice - went a little faster, even though I'm supposedly "Tapering" for the Hi-Octane 10-mile tomorrow. John puked (as usual) and Sarah Mills and her sister came. Sarah Mills = fastest girl this year? Wouldn't be surprised. |

| Running 9:00 [3] 1.5 mi (6:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| Coach Klehr's brilliant "Semi-Workout Speedwork Sessions" - 3x800's, at 3:00 pace each.
Gave Chris Mauro a ride home. REALLY, he isn't all that annoying. Sure, he can talk your head off if you let him, and it doesn't make sense or it doesn't matter half the time, but if you just let him go, he's not that bad. He brings humiliation on himself; aka. wearing his baseball clothes to practice, trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about when he doesn't, and what gets people to hate him are his running tactics. Previously mentioned, he doesn't know when to just let someone pass, and worry about himself...even during a workout (mostly his ego). Even though we're obviously going to be ahead of him for the entirety of this years races, I just worry that this is going to happen all over again.
We (Nico, Nate, and I) need to put him in his place and flat out run him down every day, and then he'll know that unless he trains as hard as us, he WILL NOT beat us in races, and therefore won't struggle to keep up, panting loudly, only to die out miserably and make some excuse.
I really think the team should treat him with more respect and not make fun of him as much, because we need him to be as fast as possible. If that means being annoying in the top 7, so be it. The team right now needs him in his spot, and I don't want him to dread going to practice every day.

| Running 45:53 [3] 6.0 mi (7:38 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GT-2130 |
| Slower paced (Tried to hit "Running Economy" pace - in a book I'm reading - the best I could, but it's hard without mile markers) run with JP, Nico, John Wiseman, and Steve (dropped out), and Chelsea(!!!) for the first 15 minutes, - saving some for the Score-O tonight
Could I get some info on how a "Score-O" is different from a "Regular-O"? |

| Score-O, felt too confident in my navigating skills, and went for too many controls. Got back too late, and got soaked in the process...perhaps next time i'll just follow the lead guy, and out-sprint him at the end. |

| shoes: Asics GT-2130 |
| Fartlek run with the guys - 6x1:00, 1x2:00 - with 2 minutes rest in beetween each. Then, at about 37 minutes, we had a "quality time" run with Coach Brunswick until about an hour. |
Monday Jul 21 |
| Running 41:23 [3] 6.0 mi (6:53 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics GT-2130 |
| Great run with Nico, (and Elliot, JP, and Joe; they trailed off around 20 minutes in) - we pushed each other pretty hard.....
We both know we're fighting for the #1 spot, but we're going to cooperate so that we're both as good as we can be this season, so that it's a guts race in the end. |

Ethan, Geoff Kelly, Eric Kraewic, Arjun Patel (who said he'd be at practice tomorrow!!) -, Garion Urbanek, (he said he's not running cross country because apparently they have fall baseball...), Tom Farrel, Trevor (who is in the Adirondacks), Steve Whit, Kyle Kraewic..
So! I'll call them again soon. |

| Medium pace run with the "advanced plus a few" group, here..I'll list them all. Started out: Me, Nico, JP, Cole, Jared, Alex, Ethan, Colin, Coach Brunswick. Around Whiting: Me, Nico, Cole, Jared, Alex, Colin? - Out of Whiting: Me, Nico, Cole, Jared (AND BRIMSTEIN FOR A FEW SECONDS!!) - I couldn't hold it anymore and dove into the woods, releived myself, and caught up to Nico and Cole around the rollers. Jared took it slower for the last part.

Wednesday Jul 16 |
| Running 32:00 [3] 4.1 mi (7:48 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| Ran a slow (recovery?) 32 minutes with JP and Afro Thunder, JP took off around 23-24 minutes in, so John and I had some quality time together. I've come to the conclusion that his Afro hurts his running only because it creates a virtual sheet attached above his head, which results in his head tilting back more than it should, making the amount of oxygen he breathes in less that it's potential, due to the curvature of his airways in his neck from the tilt of his head.

| shoes: Saucony |
| Mendon "Dirt Cheap Trail Series" race, more of a hill workout again, (Coach managed to trick me into another one) - Legs felt relatively tired, but overall I thought it was a great opportunity to run at a quicker pace than usual, so I took it. Time-trial start due to the stairs at the beginning, so I passed a few (94 if i counted correctly) people before the finish. Clare was number 1.
Included in the route was the big Mendon West hill that everyone hates, so naturally I sprinted up it! - Second in my age group, behind a 15-year old kid from "Rochester". I have to beat him if I'm going to win states. |

| Biking 40:00 [3] 7.0 mi (5:42 / mi) | |

| Biking to and from practice, 20 minutes either way. - The reason it's 7 miles is because Nico, JP and I took a detour on the way back.
"say what?" |
| Running 10:20 [3] 2.0 mi (5:10 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| Coach had us do 4x800m intervals, slow, (30 seconds slower than race pace 800 time..) - splits: 2:38, realized I was going too fast, 2:42, a little better, then two consistent 2:50's - So, the total time is off. |

| Ran with the 'Advanced' group, I led the whole run, (which rocked), we took it at a very conversational pace. What was interesting was that I've never even talked with that group of Thomas guys, and now I feel like I know them pretty well. |

Slow, short/long run. (I ate a bit of food yesterday, which explains the 8:43 mile pace..oops) - Didn't have time to go on a long long run, for I had to start packing for the trip. OH!
I'll be gone from now until the 13th/14th, and I'll try to run every day for about 30 minutes while I'm gone. I'll be in Orlando on a missions trip, along with Hannah Schwabe and Sarah Weigand (who ran the Firecracker 5-mile with her dad yesterday) -

| Running race 34:03 [4] 5.0 mi (6:48 / mi) vdot: 47.7 | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| "Fairport Firecracker 5-Mile" - Fun! A bit of a monotonous roads course, and also it was a bit hot. Running through the village of Fairport was cool though, because everyone who was setting up their lawn chairs for the parade was cheering us on, and there was a HUGE front pack. One guy next to me had a stroller with twins in it, and he got a lot of "Go Dad!" cheers..pretty sick -
I didn't run it as I would run a real race, though, it was more of a tempo pace. I'll choose another date to actually all-out RACE in, there's just too much going on right now to worry about it. Brett Crandall was there along with Tyler Stachechi, and a third 'Wolfpack' guy. I beat the fourth 'Wolfpack' kid, not sure of his name, though. There were definitely over 600 runners, and yet Fleet Feet still managed to have a successful race! |

Wednesday Jul 2 |
| Running 35:00 [3] 5.2 mi (6:43 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| Time and distance approximate (BIG surprise..) - anyways - Ran with JP, Nico, John Wiseman, Joe Macowski, and Steve Whit for the first 2 minutes, then John Wiseman and JP dropped out. Then, about 20 minutes in, Steve and Joe dropped out (Joe definitely impressed me and stepped up today), and Nico and I tore up the countryside for the last 15 minutes or so. |
Tuesday Jul 1 |
| Running 29:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:14 / mi) | |
| shoes: Saucony |
| Time and distance approximate, again, because I'm lazy and didn't get there on time - Caught up with Nico, ran back to get AJ and Steve, and then went out on my own for another 20 minutes. I've been told more people will be at captains practice tomorrow (thank god) so I'm looking forward to running fast.
