Once a month rather than once a day

So i havent been posting. The threeish people that look at this have been grumbling I will try to come up with some exciting new stuff heh. Indoor is off to a solid start. Mainly just need to keep Olivia(along w everyone else) healthy and get Aliya to practice. I was quite happy w Imani today she came and did her wo and then was timing and helping a lot of freshmen w the blocks. Did a run w Merritt and Darin this am they did a good 8 miles and I got there late of course so did 5. Of course its getting cold now gr.. I mean yay! Just a fun opportunity to gain on other people.

Wos this week for the team were Distance: SD+ tempo 200s,2-4x300-200-100 wed and friday was 8-12x1:00 plus 4x200. The sprinters did SD(sortof) then 4x300 easy then light distance then 250-200-150-100-4x50 and today they did light 200s inside.

So I guess for next week well be inside a lot for many people. Some of the hard core people will go outside which is ok.

My running is fair. My feet are doing ok which is nice. I think I will try to start running more in december maybe ill start my little program. Oh merritt did 47 miles this week shes doing well a little tired today. DArin is looking good we need to start him running faster like some 2s and 3s

Light run 4 miles

So ran down at mcd. My self proclaimed Wolverine like healing ability had helped my heel heal. Ha-ha. But that was feeling much better. My ankle was sore from walking around in weird fashion yesterday so I only did 4. That should be better by tom. Pleasant 32 min on a nice fall afternoon. Tomorrow if I feel ok i might do 7 before prac idk. Prob should go to bed soon. Also im getting tired of waiting for the shoe to drop ugh lets get this over with.

Sore sore sore

So im not running today ugh. But should be good for tomorrow. I was sore in the am- quite sore to be precise. Then obv went straight to counties and jogged/hobbled around through about 2 varsity races and then was fairly stationary for the next 3. Im feeling better now though. The races were ok- Merritt didnt feel good- good first 800- then many people passed her from about .5-1.5ish then she satbilized and had a good rally to pass a few people back. So not great but ok- her side was a little sore in the middle but got better. She wasnt too discouraged after either which is a good sign. Darin ran a solid PR which is encouraging- he said he thought he could have gone faster as well/didnt feel that tired at the end.

I like this daily posting maybe it will lead to daily running.

Resume Posting...now!

So im going to start posting daily from now on. We'll see how long that lasts- I give it 3 days. ANyway i jogged 2 miles in the am w mainly merritt. counties is tomorrow. then i went down to mcd for a supposed 8x400 in 94 st ev 2:30. They were doing a wo so of course i ended up doing that instead. It was 1 mile WU(which felt fast uhoh lol) then mile-mile-800-800 then steady pace mile WD. So 6:00/6:02/3:00/2:57/7:41 up the 3rd mile. My knee was a bit sore and my feet hurt some. Im not sure I should run Gerrys race but i prob will? Idk. At least I did a wo. I will try to hit the goal for next week. Ill post about counties tomorrow.

Battling.

I bet I will do a morning run tomorrow.

Battling?

Well im far behind on goals that I posted- shock meh. However I have been trying to run at least- I have only missed 2 days in september which is not great obv but not horrible. However the runs have been fairly crappy and workouts basically non existent. I altered my older shoes today which might help the bottom of my heels- its possible that the heel inserts have been not helping rather than helping. We'll see. I made up a little schedule for next week so we'll see how that goes.

Team is doing ok- we had the county relays which went solidly. The goal for boys(which will hopefully go better than my stinky goal performance- they are not old(but then again neither am i- that old at least) is 4th in the county). Btw I am a fan of the parentheses within parenthses you gotta get the double parens at the end(or (begininning)). Lol. ANYWAY Darin,Merritt,Oscar,Nandu,Ethan,Daquan??,Naomi,Warren doing well. JV boys could? be interesting we def have the best group weve had since ive been there with 7 fairly good sophs. Well at least 7 veteranish sophs of whom several can be fairly good. Hedge much lol?

The first dual meet got postponed due to heat oiy. So we have meets monday and wednesday next week. Monday tempo wednesday race. Should be interesting.

September GOALS

SO no post for a month. My knee took a little while to get better(still sore sometimes not really during running too much). Mileage of in the range of 28,35,cant remember last week i have to finish writing it in.

So what we're all waiting for: goals!! Who cares what has gone before lets think about the future.

September:
1. 200 Miles on 9 runs per week
2. 4 Steady runs(4k,5k,5k,6k)
3. 4 Light minutes workouts in progression style
4. 4 Long runs!?! in the range of 9-11 miles

If I complete these tasks in a healthy fashion I will run the first half of the Bachman Valley Half on the 29th. Kind of lame to not run the whole thing but its best to be careful.

XC training is progressing. Merritt hit 50 miles 2 weeks ago and Darin is gaining a lot of strength. They came 3rd and 3rd in a time trial with mcdonogh(2 miles)- also OScar was 4th. I wish we had a few more good people- we need 2 boys and 2 girls. Also the JV boys have a possibility of being good. We shall see.

I will now(well in a week i guess) begin monitoring my goals.
