Had some glute pain. Took some time off. Getting back into it. 7 miles felt good today. I should be back into full training soon. I want to make sure I am healthy for track season and that is why I'm going about this so cautiously.

Run with lots of hills and a fair distance. Risky but my glute felt good.

Feeling more or less back in the loop. Short and quick run today around 6:10-6:15 pace. Glute pain is insignificant so far. I am very hopeful.

400, 400, 800 at 5 minute mile pace along with 100m on 100m off for a mile to get my legs at least somewhat ready to run fast and near my 5k pace. Didn't really take much rest and went when I felt like it but it felt pretty smooth.

2 miles warm up, dynamics and strides. Started off strong. Pace felt surprisingly easy for not having had any hard effort since cross country season. Sat behind the Seattle U coach at the start and then I started to feel it a bit so he began to gap me. A New Mexico runner was there and him and some guy in a gray shirt moved up next to me. New Mexico guy made a move before the mile mark (It was a little further than a mile cause I came through in 5:30) and the coach tried to go with him. The coach began to drop off him and then the gray guy tried to go and get the coach, leaving me with some alone time while everyone ran away. The coach dropped the gray guy and I eventually worked my way up towards him, staying in position about 5 meters behind. Around halfway I passed him and immediately got passed back. Struggled to hold on a bit and then passed him back again pretty quickly. There was then nobody immediately in front of me for a while. At mile 2.5 gray guy passed me back. I just tried to hold on for dear life as my stomach was giving so many warning signs at this point and I was committed to not barfing while I was still running. He began to gap me, and then a Club Northwest guy in a hat came past pretty quickly. At this point I saw the mark for approximately 200 meters to go in the distance. Another Club Northwest guy passed me and him and gray shirt had gapped me now with the hat guy leading them by a bit. Not sure exactly when I acquired a kick, but I ate up the distance between myself and these guys and almost had the hat guy by the end, having passed one of the Club Northwest guys and the gray dude. Course ran slowly because of the rain this morning, and my fresh brooks launch shoes are no longer fresh looking. Guy in front was a 1:48 800/3:44 1500 and he got 15:20 today while SU coach ran 14:55 here last year and got 15:42 today. My time was 16:02. Additionally, I heard the names of people I beat (not sure by how much as I can't see the results yet) who were definitely sub 16 on this course earlier. More than happy with where I am after such disastrous training in the recent weeks and preseason nonetheless. I am glad to know that my glute problems have not affected my good fitness approaching the season. 1 mile cooldown and semi-alright vibes from the glute.

Ran to the track, jogged around the track, paced Wattsky for one of his 800s, ran back to uniguard. Done for the day. Glute felt good.

Took 3 rest days, made sure my glute would be healthy by the end of this week. Ran 4 easy with Raymond today.

7 mile run with the Thawed Quad Squad. Glad I'm getting back at the time that I am. Still one week to prepare before track season. Have had a persistent stomach ache this week that got pretty bad today. I believe it could be another bit of sickness that I hope does not get worse provided I have already gotten sick three other times in the last month or so. Right now it does not count as it has not inhibited my training to any significant extent.

Warmup and cool down for a workout included. Ran 4x 1k with 1min rest at 3:07 goal pace just so I could hold 5 min mile pace in my trainers. Very fast starting point so I'm glad. Did 3:06 3:06 3:07 3:07.

4 miles easy. May have messed with my leg muscles abut playing soccer but I must use them somehow to get them durable and back in the loop. Regular treatment afterwards. PT wizard Rich says I may be stretching too hard and hurting my upper hamstring and glute as a result with a strain. Dialed back the intense stretching. I'm typing this pre run on Thursday and things are looking up. Maybe 100% healthy next week. I'm hopeful. Thankful that I'm running 6 days this week under current plans.
