| A recent Bexley grad is in town for the weekend so we played some pick-up on the grass. I probably took myself off the injury list a bit too fast, since my right arch hurt (more than I can remember it hurting before) within minutes of changing into cleats. I stretched it out and a minute or two later, something just released and it was fine. Not the first time that's happened, either. |

| Across the Harvard bridge to Marlborough, down Marlborough to the public gardens, then over to beacon hill, back across Longfellow, and home.
I've had kind of a dry throat/sinus and general fatigue for the past couple of days, so I didn't do the 3x1mi intervals that were on the schedule. Hopefully I'll be feeling fine tomorrow and I'll just bump the schedule back by a day. |

| 376 cal. Mix of incline/resistance. Was going to run long today, but I walked up to Harvard square yesterday in some bad shoes, so I didn't want to reinjure my arches. If my feet are feeling good tomorrow I'll do the long run then. |

| Due to a sudden change in my citizenship status, I may be going to WUOC after all. With that in mind, I decided to start incorporating some of the workouts from the "red" plan in Daniels. |

| River St. loop. Quite windy. Didn't have much to eat before class this morning, so I had a piece of toast, some oatmeal and gatorade about half an hour before this, but it didn't provide the necessary energy. Legs felt nice and loose, but I felt really sluggish in general. Probably the low sleep doesn't help, and the track workout yesterday may have left me a little tired. |

| 3x1mi at T-pace with 1min rest inbetween. Target pace for the miles was 651. Was struggling by the end of the last one. I've never done a timed T-pace run before, and I was surprised by how not-fast it seemed. I guess I thought "comfortably hard" would be harder than that.

| Yeah so I wasn't very good with my intention to not play soccer, but my groin is feeling pretty good, actually, so I guess no harm done. Took it easy anyway; we played more of a passing game. |

| Yeah, these definitely aren't turf shoes. Hopefully I didn't screw up my arch. Groin is a bit sore afterwards, so I guess I'll stay off the soccer for another while. |

| Day 2 of the NEOC meet. Had a great run. Woods were quite open, I had a couple small errors, maybe 2-3 minutes, if that. Course wasn't very technically challenging. I think the map could be "complex" but the course wasn't more than "advanced o'". |

| NEOC Wells State Park, Red day 1. Had a nice run. In the past, I've usually had enough mistakes that I feel if I were to train real hard physically and not make mistakes, I could maybe be comparable to Leif or John. Today, I've come to the realization that that is either not possible or will involve a whole heck of a lot more training than I previously had in mind. I'm just not that fast. I made no more than 3 minutes of mistakes.
Before the run, right arch felt like it would give out, but it didn't. Felt so-so afterwards. |

| NEOC sprint relay. Had another nice run. Was first to the first control (woo-hoo!) then Kenny passed me on the way to #2, and Greg passed me on the hill to #3. The last time I saw Greg was on the way to #5 when I caught a glimpse of his uniform. After that I was fine, but tired from the climb. Was unable to shake one of the cadets who tagged along for the whole course. Fortunately I had enough left at the end to beat him in the chute.
Arch felt fine during the race, but when I got out of the car at MIT and tried walking it didn't feel so good. Hopefully it'll be ok tomorrow. |
