Does Weightlifting count as Mileage? Or wrong way reigels at the wheel

So the last week has been variable. Running last week continued to be a struggle. I dont remember all of it last week its on the calendar- nothing too memorable. Then Saturday I did Belmont out and back- 3.5 miles obv it was a beautiful night but I felt relatively bad- a little better on the way back.

Then Sunday ran at patapsco with Jamie we did the regular loop except not going up into the trails on the other side of the river so like a solid 6 maybe plus. 49 minutes I felt a little better on that day.

Monday was a run at the ncr trail with the team- I actually felt pretty good it was 54:09 for 7 (up to Monkton and back plus 2 min). So that was a good sign hopefully. I feel like im turning a corner a tiny bit- we will see- today was 4 miles at mcd btw before the dual meet. Again a bit sore in the first half and better in the second half.

My ankle is slowly getting better from whatever was wrong with it. Quad feeling fairly good and I think the knee strap has helped my knee.

The county relays was fairly good- Mckenzie had a good first leg and then Dylan was solid. Seon good and the new people did fine in the first effort. We will be ok obv we need to get better because we came 5th behind Catonsville and  the other big 3. But when you are missing top people obv it doesnt help ep when youre only scoring 3 heh. So a good opening effort just fun competition and we will see going forward.

The run yesterday was good at the trail- better than the meet today which was sucky generally. The bus drive went the wrong way hence we were late which screwed things up significantly- we will talk about it tomorrow but obviously its harder for young people to deal with. Plus the meet wasnt important anyway it was just a tempo.So no huge worries just too many people stopped etc. But for Varsity it was acceptable Hunter looked good so thats good- Joseph still struggling I think he needs to do some track running. He is having trouble staying patient which is obv difficult. Everything hurts more when you are behind people ugh.
The 3-6 group was pretty good Eli,Dylan,Seon,Sean,Louie the course was slow but still some solid running. Tristan threw up too bad. The girls had all gone to the bathroom so they missed the start and ended up running one loop instead of 2. Oh hunter was 540 at the mile then big pack around 610 to 620. Idk if the course is accurate it doesnt really matter. At least we know the course next week even if it is slow. The JV was a bit of a disaster all around lol we dont need to talk about that- will get better.

We did a good little post race workout- nothing spectacular but good cooldown and some 100s which is what we need to do. Next week a hard 2 mile then easy for like 800-1000m then pick up finish. Then Barnhart obv the first real race in 10 or 11 days.
