Steady plus wo

Ran w michael in the elem school field by his house. 1.5 mile wu- of course i didnt get enough sleep btw but that wasnt a problem today(although i should never say that because it encourages bad behavior by me). Then 4x2 loops which was a tiny bit short of a mile starting every 7 minutes. My breathing was fine throughout but my legs started to get tired def because i wasnt used to the distance obv. the times were not that important but they were around 603,618-20,625,630. the main thing is to get some distance in and see how my knee feels after(im icing now good job). 1/2 mile easy jog cooldown for 6 total- need to get more junk mileage haha. this was fine today thoughjust a little start. Also it was hot even at 10 am.

nice liberty run

Good run today w merritt keenan and allison. Ran down to res and back then out to stream intersection and back and then 10 min on road which was 39+ min for 5 miles. We need to get more people on the saturday runs hopefully so allison has someone to run with. keenan looked good and merritt is def making progress steadily. my knee didnt bother me really at all the pace is still fairly gentle(a good thing) but its def getting better at least for now.

I have to clean the house which is def good and also annoying but mom and matt are coming over tom.

So this week total hm hard to remember- i need to start running in the am prob to get more mileage depending on what we do in the pm. just stay healthy at last ive been icing. also gentle barefoot runs 2-3 times per week.

sun no run,mon short run 2.5,tue 3?,wed wo plus run with tt(7 total),thu 6,fri 3,sat 5 aapprox 26-27 total? lol really cranking the mileage- but feeling better try for maybe close to 40 next week

barefoot again at end

So ran with tt and patty today. Felt rpetty good the pace was prob close to 7 min pace for much of the run which felt fine i got tired by about 25-28 min though lol. then we did approx 15 min barefoot around the football field while patty did his wo. my knee obv has been doing better it still hurts but is moving back into the standard level patella pain which is tolerable. but still need to be acreful prob an easy day tom then maybe a longer run one of the days on the weekend. I think i should do many of the workouts on grass instead of track i know im like tied to the track for tempo etc but its better for me these days esp to go on grass i think. we shall see.

I'm a blast from the past

So this week has been ok. so ok that i cant even remember it lol. lets see i had 28 and 29 the last 2 weeks btw. Oh yeah i had 2 days off this weekend hmph i was sore on sat and then didnt get out sun. mon ran a little bit like 20 min- oh that was the day we ran around at franklin ms. the tuesday i ran w merritt and ethan and naomi and laura some for 25 min then i did 6x90 seconds with 90 second jog around the fields at franklin. so about 5 total.

then today had prac after a half day at franklin. they were not excited so i ran with them in the tempoish wo. 8x400 start ev 2:30- the white shoes were making my feet hurt(which is i think my i didnt run in them when i first bought them many months ago) so i ran barefoot?! and it felt pretty good?!?! The pace was a bit unknown- i didnt measure the loop and we were running 82-85 seconds ethan felt good and merritt is looking better and better she is learning how to run wos more effectively. Although she did lead the fastest one except the last one lol.

So the question is how far was that i might have to measure it. it couldnt have been a 400 but i think it was at least 350 i bet. we used that field for running 400s before and stayed within the dirt i think so it cant be much short of that idk.

Then ran again!?!(lots of punctuation obv lol) with TT at 430. My knee did not explode- a good thing- it actually didnt feel that bad- i wore the old black shoes which feel better than the less old but still old white shoes. have i said its time to get new shoes? haha- apparently im going to trade the holabird GC for a food GC that TT has anyway. Appropriate for both of us prob.

Speaking of that luckily TT was slowed on the run by the fact that he had an enormus burger at red robin for lunch. right now i am slowed by the fact that i am almost finished an enormus chicken burrito from qdoba. potentially a lawnmowing killer we'll see lol. its not supposed to rain for a few days anyway.

ok week

wow i havent posted in a while it doesnt seem that long. so lets see states was fair not good not bad. no real notable prs we really had our best meet at counties and then fell off a little. however counties was very good so ill def take that.

For me this week has been ok. my knee is about the same(im icing it right now yay) i did 5.5 with i cant remember on sunday, then 6 with anna on monday,took off tuesday and yesterday 6 with TT yesterday. then today ran 3.5 w merritt and then did 6 300s on turf. they were ok all between 1:05 and 1:08 which is fair they werent hard but they werent easy haha. well see how the knee feels after it felt no differetn at 6 min pace or a little under than it does at 7-8 min pace. Also my feet have been a little sore i really need new shoes lol.

Also i got a blister at graduation from my dumb shoes i might not wear thos any more lol they are too stiff. graduation was good luckily i  will see many of those people more otherwise i would have been depressed.

westminster

wow 2 posts in one day. michael ran at westminster and it wasnt that good he ran like 1119 and looked not so good after. obv he was mad but i was able to give him some perspective and possible info i think he might be anemic. he said he felt drained and his breathing was def not great. hopefully he should be good after senior week.

I think I will do the camp hashawha race its june 21. goal is to run well haha.

Now im actually starting to get pissed

Before i was depressed,self loathing and sad and felt terrible for ash. I still have that to look forward to for hopefully not too many months/years but i am really getting aggravated now. The reason is not the moronity of me not reading and understanding the bulletin fully- although im sure i read that rule and didnt process it or forgot which was very very stupid and unforgivable obv.

The reason is the punishment for ENTERING but not competing in 5 events(well sorry entering 4 individual events- obv you can legally enter 5 events if 2 of them are relays- which i dispute because im not the only one who doesnt comprehend the rulebook) is ridiculously over the top horseshit.

The following is a list of things you can do at a meet that are Significantly Less egregious and less penalized than what we did:
Unsporting conduct that is unethical or dishonorable
Disrespectfully addressing an official
Any Flagrant behavior
Intentional contact- ie hitting or shoving someone(not during a race- like fighting)
Taunting
Criticizing or using profanity directed toward an official or competitor

If Ashley had done any of those things during or after the 400 for instance she would have been out of the 400 and the 800 and the results in the high jump and long jump which she had already completed would count and she would have gone on to the state meet. Since she did the unfogivably heinous crime of entering 5 events but only running 4 of them her high school career is terminated.

Of course the rest of these things are so minor compared to what she did that they are barely worthy of penalty at all:
Unacceptable Conduct
Failure to listen to meet official
Using Profanity not directed at someone
Any action which could bring discredit to your school.
Interfering with(shoving,tripping,pushing etc) a competitor

Those might as well not even happen and simply deserve a slap on the wrist and then get back out there for the 4x1.

Run today was fine a nice very easy run with sanborn and Franny! she is home for the weekend.
