Check out my Mixtape

It was about 10 degrees outside. What better temperature to run in! Average mile pace was 7:15. Picked Joe up at about mile 4. He ran with us for the rest of the time. Good run.

I wanted to run about 4-5 miles today at a faster pace than I have been doing. Not tempo pace but just a bit faster than my regular jog. My average mile pace was 6:18 which should've been fine to maintain but I wasn't feeling it. I was just pretty tired and didn't have very much motivation to push harder like wanted to. I'm thinking my night sleep could have some affect on that. I was at Denny's till like 1:20 last night and didn't fall asleep till around 3. Might go the the gym later on and lift weights or hop on the treadmill.

pm: 3 decent miles on the treadmill at the sports academy. Threw in a bit of incline for a mile. Then I did some leg excercises on the machines there. My legs are gonna get so beefy. My legs didn't feel to great but that didn't stop me from getting a couple good dunks in on the court. My femur is starting to hurt and it feels like it is in the bone. I am kinda paranoid that it might be the starting of a stress fracture so I'm gonna have a close eye on that for the next couple days. 

No running today because of my femur that was hurting yesterday. I didn't do anything, but it feels fine today, even when I press on it, so I think I'm gonna be fine. Good night with some buddies at Crystal Hotsprings. Felt real nice to soak my legs in that water. I will give running a try tomorrow and see how it feels.

It was freezing outside this afternoon so I decided I would just go to the Sports Academy and run on the treadmills there. When I go there a lot of people were walking out, only finding out they closed at 3 for New Years. So That ment my run would be outside in the freezing cold. Got home and it was about 7 degrees. Started running at an easy pace. Finished my first mile in 7:11, and as I warmed up my mile times seemed to get progressively faster. I finished my 4th mile in 6:15. My average mile pace was 6:47. So it was an okay run. Just really hard to warm up. My femur felt good too so that's a good thing. Gonna go to Ethan Field's house tonight for New Years to relax and have a good time. No crazy parties this year.

It was 0 degrees this morning, and I didn't want to freeze so I planned to go run at the Sports Academy. My first 3 miles on the treadmill were 18 minutes flat. My first 2 miles were a little slow, so I really sped up that last mile. Took a break on got some water, then hopped back on and ran 2 more miles. One of those miles I put some incline in on the treadmill. Finished them in the high 5 minutes. Sorry I don't have exact times. Then I went and did some leg excercises. I was hurting pretty bad after doing those for about 30 minutes. Shot some hoops, then went back and did 1 more mile on the treadmill. Finished that one in about 7 minutes and 40 seconds. Good day of working out, excited to see how I'm gonna be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning. Thinking about going to Crystal Hotsprings again tonight which should feel good on my legs.

Due to the temperature, I didn't run outside again for the..... eh I don't even know how many days it has been. But anyways, I went to the Sports Academy once again and ran on the treadmill. I had a side ache for my first set which made it hard to push any harder. My first 3 miles I finished in 17:47. (The treadmill takes some time to get going at the pace that I wanted, so it added about 30 seconds on that one and extra time on every set that I did) Took a water break, then ran 2 miles in 12:12. Took another short breather then ran a mile in 5:23. Pretty tiring after that one. Finished with a slow cool down mile with a bit of incline. To be honest running on a treadmill for that long isn't so bad. I was going to give my legs a rest from the machines, but I realized that tomorrow is Sunday I can just rest then. My quads have been pretty sore lately so I just did 3x30 calf extensions for leg work. Not much, but hey don't judge. Then I went over to the seated row and did 3x30 to get a bit of upper body and shoulder work. I need to start focusing on my upper body a bit more. When all that was finished I played one game of pick up ball. Good day of workout.
