Total Miles: 47
Sunday, 2/24
Ran on the south field barefoot with Ian for 30 minutes, felt kinda tight afterwards... but i think it was more because of the cold than than the races yesterday.
Monday, 2/25
Did Lower Arroyo plus casting pond. I stopped to shit by the pond and some creepy old guy who i saw outside walked in while i was crapping and looked at me for a second.... creeeeeeeepy. Came home and kept the whole run totally chill.
Tuesday, 2/26
Warmed up down to allen and back. Stretched and did a few striders before doing 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400, starting every 2:30, 5, 7:30, 10, 7:30, 5, 2:30. I ran 74, 2:29 (74,75), 3:43 (74,74,75), 4:57 (73,74,75,75), 3:40 (73,73,74), 2:26 (73,73), and 67 to finish up. I felt totally smooth through out this workout and kept thinking of how it was completely just money in the bank. At the start of each interval I felt tired but was still able to get my legs moving at that same pace without trouble. I'm super stoked about this workout and think I'm easily ready to go sub 4 and possibly P.R. at Oxy.

Did about 6 laps warm up then ran Huntington at a mellow pace. Stopped on the way back to shit at lacy. Once back, took the guys through abs. Didn't feel sore at all from yesterdays workout, maybe a little slow/tired, but not sore.
Thursday, 2/28
Warmed up to Lacy, did a 20 minute tempo with mark. Started out for the first mile at 5:40 pace, the dropped to 5:35, then 5:20 till the end. Felt fine aerobically. My foots been hurting the past few days from that damn sore I got while running at Pomona 1 1/2 weeks ago.. Oddly, it didn't hurt at until a few days ago, and it seems to be getting worse and worse. I suppose I might take tomorrow off as a result, or just jog a few super easy miles.
Saturday, 3/1
Took yesterday off to make sure my left foot was doing fine, it had started hurting a lot on thursday night and i could barely step on it. Anyways, I'm up sitting the U of Oregon for a few days so I finally found a few hours today to get out and take a nice long easy run. Crossed the river and ran on this wood chip trail for several miles, also ran on an off shoot that took me past I-5 and into the neighboring town of springfield. It was a great run despite the fact that it hailed a few times and rained a bit. The only thing that heavily depressed me about this run was that in less than 15 minutes I was yelled at twice. Normally this doesn't bother me much and I just smile turn the other cheek (moon them) and keep on running. On a side, mooning really does seem like the appropriate response to me in most cases since these ignorant jackasses are usually making inane comments regarding the length of my shorts. The alternative I offer them is that I wear no shorts. I regress, it really just irked me that even in one of the track and field/running capital's of the U.S. or even World I experienced this. That really goes to show you how much of an absurd past-time running is becoming. But that at the same time its a cult following in which all runners form a family and we can always relate to each other through that.

Nice workout. Looks like you're running very strong.
my new response to such yelling is to yell back "i love you"
it's not what they expect, at least
true, true
You missed the SCIAC Invite!
I didn't miss it.... i just wasn't there
