You Got Me All Wrong

Hello,

It is now Spring 2014. I have no idea when my last post was as I am writing this fairly quickly, but a lot has been going on since.

With another spring season complete, it is now time for my epilogue. Several lessons were learned, although, I was aware of them before I reached the end. Record-keeping and time are the two slaps I got from life this spring. I lost track of my training around (wild guess) March-ish, I believe. I slowly stopped giving a fuck for some reason, but my excuse is good (or at least to society), check it: SCHOOL. Learning is my main concern right now, especially stats. I'm fascinated by it. I am not too sure if everyone is like this, but geez, I just couldn't motivate myself to log all my runs down. It seemed like I was always in a hurry. Time, I will master you.

I'm still unclear on what I want to run in the fall, but my first short-term goal is reach at least 70 miles per week by the end of the summer.

Let's get on with training.

Sunday:
12-15 miles @ 6:45-7:30 pace

Monday: 
6 miles + 8x100m strides

Tuesday: 
7 miles + drills & core circuit
Luke's Track Meet w/ Colon, and the Cartwrights. Did the Mile and 800. Although with no real speed work under my legs for 2 weeks it was really fun getting back on the track after 2 years. 

Wednesday: 
10 miles + flexibility session
8 miles w/ Manuel and Shades. Really cool having a pack to run with. Finished in 57:43. Felt great.

Thursday:
6 miles + 8x100m strides
So sore. Finished in 45:19

Friday: 
5 miles + drills & core circuit

Saturday: 
6 miles + 8x100m strides

Note:
Close your eyes and enjoy this tune.
