I have been running since fifth grade. My favorite professional runners are David Rudisha and Evan Jager. My favorite high school runner is Chris Watson because he periodically reads this blog and should definitely make one.

7 miles total with a 20 minute fartlek in the middle. I felt pretty good and we mixed up some longer tempo-ish intervals with shorter fast ones because we were instructed to avoid a structured fartlek. Did some weightlifting and extra abs today along with leg strengthening.

6 miles with Chris Watson and Mitch, who is looking great. I wasn't feeling great so we dialed back the pace for today. Later I did some extended core, weightlifting, and leg strengthening exercises.

Ran 6 miles with Mitch, Carter, and Dante on Blueberry trail. Mitch and Dante pushed the pace but it was nothing terrible. I had some shin pain yesterday but it seems to be subsiding fairly quickly.

10:42 2 mile tempo with warmup and cooldown. I did this about 20 seconds faster than earlier this summer and with definitely less effort. I think I can do better than this. At this same time last Summer, however, I tried to do this workout at full effort and failed miserably. Given that I had a very good start to my season last year, I am satisfied and feel that I am most likely at a significantly higher level right now than I was back then.

Red eye to Burlington, Vermont so I ran in the evening. It is very hot and humid here and there are plenty of bugs to inhale on runs. Despite feeling like absolute garbage from sleeping, eating, and drinking very little from the day of travel, I matched my ideal training pace and felt comfortable. It could be because it was in the evening that I ran rather than the morning. I've always suspected that my runs are way worse in the morning. Not sure what made up for my poor state today but it could be the fact that it was in the evening. Finished up with some leg strengthening.

Legs felt a little sore from the late-night strengthening. 8 mile out and back long run today a little past middays. I have found that I am an extraordinarily different runner later in the day. It was quite hot outside but I held 6:15 average pace, which I previously have only been able to hold on shorter runs with many stoplights and lots of effort. There were no stoplights today and I was comfortable. I have noticed that hills bother me a lot less now and they did little to disrupt my very consistent groove today. Hopefully more runs like this will follow. I cannot wait until I can train consistently later in the day so I can better see, like today, what my capabilities are.
