Under 230

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Finally registered weight under 230! I’m stoked–I haven’t seen the 20’s in a long, long time.
Short on time this morning so I busted out the short loop and tried to push it a little bit.  Now I know how much it hurts to run 7.4 minute miles… What a dream to be able to sustain […]

Sprints feel okay

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Ran sprints today. Right quad felt a little pulled after the 5th sprint. Seems okay, just tight and a little sore. Weight and bodyfat are up today. I’ve been eating more than I really need, I think, plus I missed a couple of days of workout since the last post.

Back again

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Finally felt good enough to run this morning. I pushed a little harder, as if I were making up for lost ground. Result was 8.86 minute miles.

Too sick to run

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

Been taken out by some bugs lately. Ran those sprints the other day and later that day started sneezing, getting sore skin, etc. Plus, oddly, my muscles were super sore from the sprints. That hasn’t happened before,  but my quads are still sore today. Weird.
I’m feeling about 85%-90% today, but still didn’t run. Seemed wise […]

Back at sprints

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Ran sprints for the first time since getting back from Orlando. Went very well. I had been getting this weird feeling in my left quad when I ran…felt kinda like the start of a strained muscle. Never felt that today. By the sixth rep my legs were definitely starting to get tired though.
Not sure what’s […]

Slow improvements

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Ran the 3.2 loop this morning, without Frodo. I ran a 8.91 minute mile pace, which I’m pretty pleased with. It hurt, though. There’s a hilly section right before the second mile marker that just slows me down and sucks away all my energy.
