July 31

Emotion: Lacking sleep because relatives little child is waking me up at 7 every morning. I could be eating healthier but i've been slacking

Weather: 85 degrees

Location: Little Falls, NJ

Workout (6pm):
jog 800m
movement drills (hip circles, leg swings)
dynamic flex drill x30m (Askips, Bskips, Cskips, A runs e.t.c)
5x250 m at 29 seconds with 4-6 min rest in between
remember to start time at beginning stop at 200m and coast for the last 50m
holding your running form

Result: No watch but based on memory both agreed we were hitting faster than 29s

Surface: Track

Running Partner? Alec Marshall, Bryant Rodriguez

Work (Job): 11-4

Weight Room: Back/Bis

Summary: I really feel like i'm in shape now and doing the workouts correctly as today went real smooth for me. We are still pushing that first 100 too fast being 1.5-2s faster than the second 100 but I feel like i'm coasting the whole time. I think my arms movement might be slightly wrong to the correct form but we will see preseason. I am staying on my toes the whole time. The last 50m could be faster but overall i'm very pleased of how my 200/250s are going.

Ran about 3.5 miles but it was at a faster pace than the previous distance runs i've been doing.

Summary: Moved the workout forward one day bceause of weather conditions. My partner is a distance runner so he was going at a fast pace and i was keeping up with him. Did about two and a half miles at a fast pace then the rest was on my own by my highschool. 100m strides on grass for a cooldown and some a,b,a-c-a skips after the run. The day after, I thought I was going to be sore but I wasn't.

16 min run

Summary: Wore Nike Free 5.0v2 during the run today. My knees started to feel sore about 6 minutes into the run but I just kept going. I would go on and off between running on just my toes and letting my heels touch to try to get the pain from my knees off. The workout was good other than that. Instead of lifting 5 days this week, since it is supposed to be a light week, I will only lift two (mon/wed).
