Total Miles: 26
Get Ready for Santa Monica (and register)
Wed/Thursday: Foot hurt, didn't run.
Tuesday, 10/2: 8x300 with the guys, first one 45, 2-7 were 46-48, 8 didn't feel great so I slowed down to 52. Warm up and cool down. These felt harder than they should have.
Monday, 10/1: Didn't want to get up. Legs felt dead, but didn't have trouble moving after a few steps out the door. Did 7 miles up to the tar pits and back at around 7 minute pace.
Sunday, 9/30: Legs felt a lot better today than in the past several. Got up at 6 to run down Venice and see the start of the LA triathlon. Stayed and watched a few waves start before heading back. Totaled just under 14 round trip. Felt really strong and fresh. Probably finished the last few miles sub 7.
Saturday, 9/29: Off

Week 9
Total Mileage:51
Survive slightly higher mileage
Friday, 9/28: 7 mile recover run in the evening to Baldwin overlook. Felt better than yesterday, still not 100% and definitely feeling the mileage.
Thursday, 9/27: AM: Easy morning run, 3 miles. Hamstrings felt tight, but moving wasn't too difficult/painful. PM: Easy 4 evening run, hammys were still tight.
Wednesday, 9/26: Recovery run, easy 7. Right heel hurt a little at the start. Calves hurt most of the way.
Tuesday, 9/25: First track workout in 52 months (since may 2008). 800, rest 60s, 400 x 6 (90s between sets). 2:34/72, 2:35/76, 2:41/75, 2:44/77, 2:44/81, 2:39/65. Felt exhausted after two and thought the dry heaves were coming. Right leg was also noticeably more tired by the end. +warm-up and cool-down ~ 7 miles.
Monday, 9/24: recovery run, through culver city then up to castle heights and back home. 5 miles
Sunday, 9/23: 12 miles in griffith park with john and the runner's circle team. Not as painful as I expected but I did drop back the last few hundred meters. Maintained about 7:00s for the run.
Saturday, 9/24: 2.94 mile race at Bell-Jeff invite in griffith park in 16:41. Got killed by the second hill, but finished strong to not be beat by two girls running for nike.

8th week
Mileage: 25.7
Get ready for my race on Saturday.
Thursday, 9/20: 3.0 miles. Chill shake out.
Wednesday, 9/19: 7.2 miles. Ran along ballona creek path to overland and up to veteran park. Did 4x200 at 35, 34, 31, 31. These felt rather exhausting for the speed. Maybe it was trying to go fast on grass in flats, or maybe i'm just slow. Whatever. Jogged home.
Tuesday, 9/18: 6.9 miles. Felt ok, didn't take it too hard.
Monday, 9/17: 4.4 miles to cheviot hills park. [Mistakenly?] decided to do my first workout. Okay, maybe it wasn't a mistake, but it did really hurt as its the first speed workout I've done of any sort in over four years. At the park I decided to do 3 +/- 1 loops around the 1.1 mile perimeter at a pace of 5:30 (6:03 for the loop) with 2:00 minutes rest. I haven't done any thing in a while so I didn't really remember what kind of workout to start with. My first half mile or so was definitely way too fast, near Slowed down, partially not by choice, and finished the first one in 6:09. Debated if I was gonna do the second one or not, given the pain. Did anyways. Started out at a much more modest pace and just tried to keep going. About 2/3 through, I felt like I was gonna vomit. Held it in and finished in 6:08. Didn't do a third one. Jogged home. Feel absolutely dead fucken tired tonight.
Sunday, 9/16: 2 miles . Felt really dead and legs felt heavy.

7th week
Goals: Have a solid week and shoot for about 330 minutes
Total time: 226
Friday, 9/14: 25 minutes. Short run
Thursday, 9/13: 50 minutes. Not as long as I wanted for today, but held a solid pace and kicked the last mile in around sub 6 to low 5 pace. Need more runs like this.
Wednesday, 9/12: 60 minutes. Took yesterday off (this is why I don't take one day off. Sequentially I take more.) Decided to switch to morning running so got up with M at 5:45 and ran for about an hour. Stopped in the middle because I had to shit. Ran an ok pace, but slightly slower than the last time I did this run. Felt fine.
Monday, 9/10: 15 minutes. Wouldn't have ran so short, but managed to catch up with tech team for an easy afternoon south field jog and core workout.
Sunday, 9/9: 25 minutes. Got home really tired, so I just went through a trot to the dog park in culver city where I met marisol and got a ride home.
Saturday, 9/8: 76 minutes. Ran farther through the catalina mountains, got dehydrated so I turned around and ran back.
