Track, week 1

Total Miles: 54

Saturday, 1/12
Ran a mile on the track followed by doing full arroyo at a nice slow pace. Concentrated on my stride on the way back making sure to take full strides, with high knees... yada yada yada. Stopped without an extra mile on the track since my thighs were hurting a lot from chaffing, ouch! 11 miles total.

Friday, 1/11
Took today especially easy with no speeding up at all. Ran tu madre, felt good, loose, and relaxed after.

Thursday, 1/10
Did a nice long 2 mile warmup, stretched a little, and promptly left to do garfield the long way. We kept things nice and slow all the way to garfield. Once there we let the pace start to creep up on us until anton and I were going a little sub 6,,, maybe 5:40ish for the last mile or so. Finished up and stretched. I think that over the next few weeks I also really need to focus on my stretching, in addition to everything possibly taking a nice even 2 lap cool down after runs that I finish hard. My flexibility seems bad right now.

Wednesday,1/9
Ran to lacy the longway and did a bunch of striders. I still think that anton and satchith don't know how to do striders, they go to fast which is kinda annoying, oh well. Ran back and did an ab workout. At this point in the week my abs are starting to hurt which isn't much of a surprise since I've been working them everyday... Oh well, i need to lose that tummy pack or something. In addition to that I'm gonna shoot for about 55 miles or so this week with a long run on saturday of about 12 miles. Going about 60-65 for the following two weeks will hopefully secure my aerobic fitness and drop a few pounds. But for now I'll have to take the runs a little slower so that I can keep this up day to day right now.

Tuesday, 1/8
It was a crazy tree kinda day. Started easy and very subtly increased the pace. More abs

Monday, 1/7
Warmed up around the track, ran a hard huntingson, lifted and did some abs.

Sunday, 1/6
Ran from the wilson, doing lacy long way. Kept things pretty chill since tomorrow was the first day of practice.
