Total Miles: 41
Back to some hard miles before Kenneth Hahn in two weeks
Thursday, 11/1: 6 miles in the morning. Got back to late in the pm for another run.
Wednesday, 10/31: Easy run, didn't have it in me to run for 45 minutes. 3 miles
Tuesday, 10/30: Couldn't make it out to the team track workout for a multitude of reasons (hopefully this doesn't by any means become a habit since I truly feel that these group sessions are an integral piece of my future improvement). Got the workout from coach to do 10 (misheard 8) 400's. Unfortunately, I the gates at Hamilton high school were predictably locked. Resourcefully, I picked a starting point and ran at a medium hard pace for 70 seconds and decided that was 400 m (later i measured it to about 375 m on google maps). Proceeded to do eight reps with 90 seconds rest, running back and forth between the same start and end points (70, 68, 68, 66, 65, 63,62,60). Felt really good for the first 4 or 5, started to feel some tightening on the last 4. About 5 miles including warm up and cool down.
Monday, 10/29: Monday morning run to the tar pits and home. Went quicker than normal, felt fine.
Sunday, 10/28: LSD. Ran over to Kenneth Hahn, entering on la Brea. Jogged around the park and carefully exited on la Cienega, running along jefferson to Duquense and back home. 12 miles
Saturday, 10/27: Twilight's Last Gleaming race in Ventura. The course was very hilly. First mile was flat/slightly downhill for about 400 m followed by straight up the rest of the way, ~7:08. The second mile flattened out a little. I took the next two hills (the finger and the wall) easy and opened up my stride as I got halfway up wall to where it started to level out. From the there the last two miles of the course were flat and rolling downhill. Maintained my position throughout the last 2.5 miles. Felt really strong and that I had a lot of energy left over at the end of the race. 8 miles

Week 13
Total Mileage: 42
Drop mileage a rest up a little for Ventura twilight meet.
Friday, 10/25: Easy trot around the neighborhood
Wednesday, 10/24: medium effort afternoon run with John through campus to Sunset, around and down Veteran to the dorms, turned around and ran back to the track for a few laps and one final one at a stride+ pace. John suggested about 20 meters before the start of the lap that we do one last one at about 70 pace. Eased into the first curve and came through in 65. Was a little winded, but still felt easy for a 65 off of the comfortably fast pace we were already going. Finished by jogging back to chemistry.
Tuesday, 10/23: 6x300 on the track 47-49 for the first five, 44 for the last one. Felt smooth, no pain. weight: 158
Monday, 10/22: Easy 7 mile a.m. run to shake things out. Ran up and around the tar pits and started to feel a bit looser about 30 minutes in. First day with new shoes too, Asics gel cumulus 14. It felt a lot better to have new shoes, however, I felt a small bump in the middle of my left foot. weight: 158
Sunday, 10/21: Hollywood sign run from the store, 15 miles. Felt good, a little sore the rest of the day. Weight: 156
Saturday, 10/20: Mile repeats in Johnny Carson park. Started off with a time trial (4:52) then complete rest (~5-8 minutes) and 4x mile with about 90 -2:00 rest (5:21, 5:22, 5:20, 5:11). Felt good.

Week 12
Total Mileage:46
Hold it together for one more week of heavy distance speed/interval training.
Friday, 10/19: Legs still hurting a bit and short on time, 3 miles.
Thursday, 10/18: A.m. run, legs were tight, only 4 miles. No p.m. run
Wednesday, 10/17: Early morning run, nice and easy 6+ miles. Legs feel tired. Weight: 155
Tuesday, 10/16: Ladder track workout: 4-8-12-16-16-12-8-4. Tried to start at about 80's and go from there. 79, 2:38, 3:52, 5:15, 5:25, 4:03, 2:33, 64. Began to feel like shit after the first 1600 and really fell apart after 800 of the 2nd 1600. For the 1200 I just tried to hold on and run even splits. Kicked back in with the speed for the last 800 and 400. Felt strong finishing. 8 miles including warmup and cool down, plus core and plyos.
Monday. 10/15: 6+ a.m. run. Felt a lot better than yesterday, I think I managed to work all the soreness out of my legs after the mild dehydration, kept the pace super cool today going mid to high 7's for most of the run. Stretched afterwards, weight: 155
Sunday, 10/14: Long (~10 miles) run along old dirt(y) Mulholland dr. with the guys. Felt really awful today: had to shit most of the run and got dehyrated for the last mile or two (came back one sock less). This was by far the most painful run I've had since starting training again. Why? After yesterdays workout I immediately left my apt. and biked to see the shuttle on Crenshaw, walked around there a lot, biked back. I also don't think I ate enough yesterday to recover and prepare myself for this morning and I drank a bottle of wine last night. Lastly, having to go for most of the run added to everything. I don't feel that any of these things individually would have made life that bad, but together they were the perfect storm. Weight: 155
Saturday, 10/13: Mile repeats with 2 minutes rest in Johnny Carson Park with Dylan, Jon, Aaron, and Rod Dixon out to watch us with Coach. These felt pretty good and even (5:23, 22, 21, 25, 35, 25). My splits were fairly similar going around 83 for the small loop and coming through at about 3:23 for the first big loop. The fifth interval the extra ten seconds was all in the last big loop and for the last interval, the second big loop was about 5 seconds faster than the others. Warm-up and Cool down. Didn't feel any unnecessary pain or soreness in the legs today.

Get in some more solid training before the twilight 4 mile in 3 weeks.
Friday, 10/12: short 4 in the evening, legs felt a little junky and knees were left knee was hurting a little.
Thursday, 10/11: Morning: easy 3, legs felt awful. Evening: Easy 5+, tested pace a few time. Felt ok, but good and looser than morning but kept it mellow most of the run. Weight: 156
Wednesday, 10/10: Morning run at 6 a.m. Ran up to la brea tar pits and back, 7 miles around 7 minute pace. Weight: 155 lbs
Tuesday, 10/9: Track workout, 800/400-X4 (40 seconds/90 seconds rest) + warm up/cool down and core (50 push-ups, one minute of straight and side planks, 30 crunches). 2:29/72, 2:34/70, 2:33/70, 2:42/64. Don't know if I gave up a little on the last 8 or legitimately hurt, either way I should have ran it faster or at least a bit more evenly. Overall I'm feeling better than after the first track workout two weeks ago though and my confidence/speed is coming back, so that's a plus.
Monday, 10/8: Easy morning run, 6+ miles.
Sunday, 10/7: Santa Monica 5k! two mile warm up. Race went ok, went out too hard for the first mile, 5:15 (we all thought the first mile was short and the second was long). Ended up around 11:10 for the second mile. Started really hurting once I turned onto Ocean for the last mile or so. Managed to pick it up for the last 1/2 mile past the turn around, but could have done a lot better if I hadn't run unevenly. Finished 17:27 (5:37/mile), results. Extra long cool down, 12 ish for the day

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.

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.

Monday, 8/27: 56 minutes. Nice late afternoon run. Right quad still a little tight. Legs lethargic tonight.

I was 9:15 at the turn around. Finished in 18:06 feeling a little out of energy, but not completely exhausted. Maybe I'll take another slow easy evening run.

Goal: just keep running for now, maybe try to average about 40 or so minutes
Total time: 270 minutes
Friday 8/10; 30 minutes
Thursday 8/9: 25 minutes. Felt sore and tight. Cantered trotted around for a bit.
Wednesday 8/8: 45 minutes. Stayed up late-ish last night to watch the 1500m final (thank you NBC for showing Manzano running down the home stretch in the commercial before the race) so I didn't run in the morning. After getting home from lab I went out for a harder run. Felt good to run in the evening with a breeze. Wasn't forcing it too much, my knees didn't hurt at all today (they have hurt a little here and there over the past few days
Tuesday 8/7: 35 minutes. Woke up and went for another trot today. Didn't really feel like going faster but did go a slight bit longer than I initially felt like. I really should start wearing Mark's watch so that I can time myself better. I also keep meaning to sign up for a race with these guys but keep putting it off.
Monday 8/6: 45 minutes. Slow to wake up. Trotted through first mile or so. Not too much faster the rest of the way.
Sunday 8/5: 65 minutes. Ran up to Cheviot hills park slowly, did two laps at a steadily increasing pace and jogged home along pico.
Saturday 8/4: 25 minutes

N+1
Sunday 1/8/2012 4.4 miles
Trying to start over again. Nothing really new this time. I'm out of shape, fat, and somewhat lazy, weak as shit. Gonna just try and run regularly and go to the gym a few times/week. Good fucking luck.
Today: Ran 4 miles, lifted for about 40 minutes.
