Today we did our 400 workout. We did 14 400's and I felt alright, but not as good as last week. Nate and I were mainly on the 1:06 the whole time. The last two however, we hit a 1:04 and a 1:02.

Wednesday, March 24

Today we had a race. It went alright. We won the 4 by 8 and the 4 by 4. I got second to Nate in the mile also. Overall over the day I probably ran about 4 miles. I don't know if we won the meet or not. It was just a scrimmage.

Miles: 4

Monday, March 22

Today we were supposed to have a race but it was canceled because of rain.  It was kind of unfortunate but it got rescheduled for Wednesday.  We ended up doing a farchlet workout.  We started at 6 minutes on pace and worked our way down to 30 seconds.  I felt terrible.  It kind of was weird because Saturday I felt so great and today I felt terrible.  I was probably still recovering from the workout Saturday.  We did pushups and situps together after the workout.

Today was the best I've felt in about a year.  We did 12 400's and I went 1:05, 1:05, 1:06, 1:05, 1:05, 1:05, 1:06, 1:05, 1:05, 1:04, 1:03, 1:04.  I thought that went really well considering I could only do 10 last year on the 1:10.  I'm hoping this correlates to good times in my mile, 800, and 2 mile.

Miles: 5 miles

Friday, March 19

Today we ran in the chip for 40 minutes.  Overall I'd say we did about 7 miles and then we came back and did some situps.  I think we did about 10 minutes of abs.

Thursday, March 18

Today we ran the Smurfville run. We were moving pretty fast today and it felt pretty good. We also got our uniforms today. Issues are starting up with those and the relay teams already. I don't really know what to do about that. I'm just going to focus on running. At home I did 40 pushups and 5 minutes of abs.

Today we did 6 down verts again.  I felt really good and negative split every single one.  I went, 1:41, 1:39, 1:37, 1:36, 1:35, 1:34.  I was really excited and glad I had such a good workout.  I'm really getting excited for the season and I will be running the 4 x 800, the mile, and then 2 mile.  I am supposed to do the 4 x 400 a couple of times too.  Overall, we probably did about 8 miles today.

Miles: 8

Tuesday, March 16

Today we ran in the chip for an hour. It was really muddy but also really fun. I think we probably ended up doing about 8 miles today. We also lifted today and started a new routine. We are doing sets of 20 where our first 10 reps are deliberately slow and our second ten are faster. It is a pretty tough lifting workout but is pretty helpful. When I got home, I did 60 pushups and 10 minutes of abs.

Today we did a speed workout. We did 2 200's, 2 400's, and 2 1000's. I felt pretty good on all of them and was on my time for most of them. The last 1000 though, I did with hurdles. I felt good towards the end of that and it actually went better than I thought it would. I didn't feel as tired as I did last time.

Saturday, March 13

Today we ran a speed workout in the rain. The wind was terrible so we could only do 200's when we were going with the wind. We started by doing a mile warmup and then did 15 200's. I ran with T.J. today and we were supposed to be on the 34 but we were on the 33 most of the time and under a couple of times also. I felt really good and think I could have done more even though we stopped at 15.

Miles: 5

Friday, March 12

Today we finally got to run in the chip. I've been waiting to run there forever. We've been running on the asphalt roads for the longest time and my legs were starting to get tired of it. I ran with Andy, P.D., and T.J. We had a pretty good run and I'd have to say we ran about 7 miles. We then lifted afterwards and did 2 sets of our circuit. We then did 4 and a half minutes of killer abs.

Miles: 7
Situps: 4.5 minutes

Thursday, March 11

Today we did down verts again. I cranked my times down pretty significantly and ran a 1:42, 1:37,1:38, 1:39, 1:39, and 1:38. I felt really good and am really happy about the times I posted. I'm hoping they will correlate into spring track and I can post some pretty fast times for the spring in the 800. I really hope my speed progresses a lot.

Miles: 8

Today I ran with Clint and James to the school before practice. We then did 3 perimeters, handoffs, and lifted. We did 2 sets of our circuit in the weight room.

Tuesday, March 9

Today we did 10 400's down at the track. We had practice tonight though because we didn't want to be crowded on the track. I felt pretty good and ran with David for the workout. We consistently hit a 1:08 or 1:09 except for the last two when we went 1:04 and 1:02. I also did my 5th one with hurdles to practice for the steeple chase. I ran a 1:11 for that one. When I got home, I did 40 pushups and 5 minutes of abs.

Monday, March 8

Today was a really long day because it was the first official day of spring track. After the speeches and everything, we finally got to running. We ran sportsman today and I felt really good. When we got back to the school, we did our circuit in the weight room. We did the circuit twice. Pete talked to me after lifting about running the 2 mile still. I think I'm going to do it and hopefully compete really well. When I got home, I decided to do 40 pushups and 5 minutes of abs.

We did a speed workout down at the track today. We did 15 200's and then 3 handoffs. David and I were on the 35 seconds so it was more or less a tempo. We hit 34 pretty consistently though. Overall we probably did 7.5 miles.

Thursday, March 4

Today I actually had a basketball practice so I didn't end up running. It was a pretty good workout though.

Wednesday March 3

Today we only ran 4 miles.  We went to the state hospital and then back to the school.  Pete had us do 5 100's afterwards and I felt pretty good during those.   We did our circuit then in the weight room but we finally moved up to 2 sets today.  I didn't do pushups or situps afterwards because I had to go over to my church and teach a lesson.

Miles: 4

Tuesday, March 2

Today we did down verts. We ran over the usual hill and then did 6 down hills. I didn't have a watch but I know I was between 1:45 and 1:48 for all of them.

Monday, March 1

Today we ran back near the old road bike race course. It was a long boring run on country roads and it was probably about 6 miles. I felt good for parts of it and not so great for other parts. Afterwards we did 1 set of our circuit in the weight room, and then we did 6 minutes of abs. At home, I decided to practice hurdles for the steeple chase a little bit. I practiced for about 20 minutes and I'm trying to get ready for a race Pete signed me up for at Millersville in April. Then I did 40 pushups at home and 9 more minutes of abs.

Friday, February 26

Today I ran 5 miles on my own. I ran out Belle Alto, down Walters, back 422 and back up over Sawmill Road. It was a fun and relaxing snow run and it was a good run for a snow day. I didn't do any pushups or situps today.
