Check out my Mixtape

No running today. My leg that started hurting at BYU has gotten worse, and my coach believes that it is an over usage injury. I believe it too. I hopped my mileage up from 0 to about 45 in about 4 weeks. So I went to the Sports Academy and did some weight lifting for my upper body. Then sat in the hot tub and sauna. Gonna go to the pool before school tomorrow morning so I can get some cross training. I might start trying to run on thursday depending on how it feels.

Woke up early and met Hayden at the school at 6:20. We strapped the water belts on and ran for 35 minutes in the pool. My leg definitely sore and wasn't feeling to great. Hopefully this feeling will go away soon.

pm: Went to Sports Academy and lifted weights. I first just focused on my back, shoulders, chest and my core. Then I thought it would be alright to give my legs a workout, just not anything that hurts the one certain part of my leg that has been hurting. So I did a lot of calf extensions with 90 pounds of weight, and worked on my quads too. It all felt really good. Gonna swim again tomorrow morning before school.

Met Hayden this morning before school again at the pool. Our workout was 10 minutes warmup. Then we did 1 minute hard 30 seconds easy, 1:30 hard 30 seconds easy and keep increasing the hard interval by 30 seconds until we got all the way up to 3 minutes hard. Then we would come back down by 30 seconds. After we finished the 2 minute hard interval on the down side, we got told that we had to leave so they could close up the pool, so we didn't quite get the whole workout finished, but that's alright. It was a really good workout and got me breathing hard. I hope to try running tomorrow.

Today is the first day that I have ran this week. I've got to say it was probably one of the most rough workouts that I've done since I came back from mono. The workout was out at 6:15 mile pace, and after every mile get progressively faster by 15 seconds, (and a half mile warmup). We were supposed to do this for 5 miles. So by the last mile it would be at 5:15 pace. Really this shouldn't have been a hard workout, but today was a bad day for running. I'm not gonna rattle of a list of my excuses because I don't feel like it. I stayed on pace for the first 2.5 mile but the last 2.5 were really difficult for me. Finished with a half mile cooldown. I hope I get feeling well for Weber. 

3 easy miles with Hayden and Eric. Wasn't feeling good because of my cold. My immune system sucks right now. Probably not going to Weber because I don't want to get other sick.
