10/2 easy run

Today we had practice at the park, and instead of running in the park, i ran home haha. I took 75 into town and ran a little bit intown to make 9miles. i was running great too, 6:41 pace. the weather was quite pleasant as well.

10/1 Tempo

Today's workout was a 6-8 mile tempo run, 8 if you ran a good 6 and felt good.
I didn't feel good at all. I ran decent though. i went 32:42 for 6 (5:27/mile).
I was hoping for around 32:00-32:15, but i'll get that next time I'm sure.
I went 5:27, 5:26, 5:25, 5:23, 5:30, 5:27...I was hurting really bad the last 2. Every run is not going to feel good though so I have to take it with a grain of salt.

9/30 easy ten

We had practice at the state park this morning and i ran ten miles at like 6:53 pace which is pretty solid for in the park. I ran the ten mile loop backwards.

9/29 VO2 workout #2

Today we had 2X1200 2X1600 and 3X800 between again on the intermural fields with 3 minutes rest between 1200&1600 and 2mintues rest between 800's.

I felt good until I got to the 800's and I was running faster than I did last week so I was pleased.

I split 3:56, 3:53, 5:15, 5:14, 2:33, 2:35, 2:31= 26 minutes of good work

Think I'm kind of starting to get back to the shape i was in last year. Maybe passing out after that race was what I needed haha.

9/28 6miles easy

Today we did some plyometeric exercises then I went and ran three miles out and back out southwood road. I just ran easy, about 6:40 effort.

9/27

Today we had practice at the state park. 6-10 miles moderate effort.
Off course I ran 10. 5 out and back on the feeder road.
I controlled my first 5 well in 32:03 (6:24 pace)
On the way back it was really hilly so I wanted to push hard. And that's what I did; 6:07, 6:05, 6:03, 5:58, 5:54 for 30:11 (6:02) the last 5 miles
1:02:14 for 6:13 pace, not bad.

45 miles for the week
