Mi brillo aquí y una chispa allá

Sippin' on some moringa tea right now to conclude the day. Forecasts seem to indicate a thunderstorm tomorrow, so I might have to move the session until after work. 

This song will be my inspo for data analysis all week:

Here's the training menu. 

Monday

 6 miles + 10 x 100m strides

The morning humidity was suffocating. Ran with El Guero & El Chaparro --mostly discussing what it means to be self. Achilles pain wasn't as bad during the strides. 

Tuesday

AM: 2 miles + 4 x 400m w/ 400m jog + 1 easy + 4 x 400m w/ 400m jog + 2 miles

PM: strength training

Workout at the lake in the afternoon. Splits were 1:23, 1:33, 1:20, 1:25, 1:27, 1:23, 1:21, 1:22

After the 400s I decided to add 4 x 60m uphill sprints for speed development

Wednesday

9-10 miles + 8 x 100m strides
3 miles in the morning. 6 in the afternoon + 6 strides. Achilles pain some what more intense today.

Thursday

5-6 miles

*Rest

Friday

AM: 2 miles + 4 x 200m w/ 200m recovery + 3 mile tempo + 4 x 200m w/200m recovery + 2 miles

PM: Strength training

*Switching Friday & Saturday 

Went out for an easy 4 miles with strides on the soccer field. Felt surprisingly great! 

Saturday

2 miles + 4 x 200m w/ 200m recovery + 3 mile tempo + 4 x 200m w/200m recovery + 2 miles

Felt like shit. Likely from the round delight we call pizza I consumed the night before. Legs died after the first set of 200s and tempo was basically a nightmare. 

200s: 39.6, 38.6, 39.1, 37.6
Tempo: 6:35, 7:11. 7:21 *Note: done on an extremely hilly route

200s: 40.4, 42.6, 38.2, 40.0

Sunday

12 miles

Cloudy day with the Aztecs. Achilles wasn't as bad from yesterday, but a little painful. 

10:04 PM. Just in time,
