Looonnnnnnnnng jacket. Long run was dope. Went clear out to the fields and around Shinob Kibe or however you spell it and we came back on the trail to Sullivan park. Was pretty chill and not stressful at all so that's good. I definitely need some new shoes so I'll proabably go get some today

#TrailRunTuesday

Church rocks trail run. The tunnel was spooky. I was the first one in on the way out and I was worried I would fall over and everyone would kill me, and one the way back I was the last one in and I was worried someone would attack me from behind and no one would know. But as you can see, I survived.

 

I went and got some sick new Saucony running shoes. Lightweight pair for workouts and such. Now I can start keeping track of shoe mileage so that's cool.

Dope workout. 12x400 at CV 1:18-1:19. Started about 1:21 and went down to 1:19 on the 4th one and kept it pretty constant the whole workout. Chest kinda started hurting with 2 to go, but the workout wasn't hard enough for it to prevent me from finishing. Really long cool down. 

Did the workout in my new shoes and they are siiicccckkkkk. Saucony Type A racing flats. Feel pretty nice but now I need another pair to do normal runs in and stuff because these shoes probably won't last too long.

Nice run out to Washington and up a really big hill and back down another one. Went and bought 8 corn dogs for only $4 and sold two of them to my sister for $1.50 so I got one of my corn dogs for free pretty much. Finally move a giant dresser that's been sitting in my living room into my room. It was extremely heavy and I am extremely weak so it was pretty difficult. Good thing I got my old man who is a beast. Hurt my back and shoulders a little, but at least now I don't have to put all of my clothes on the ground like I have been for the past month and a half.

Old man hills. Nice easy pace and just pushing up the hill. Coach said it work more on letting your quad and your butt and hammy pull your leg up rather than pushing so hard off of your calf, and I found that this actually really helped. It's a total different feeling in each bound and it's a lot easier to drive the knee up. I'll probably start running like this more to work on picking my feet up. But yeah overall a cheese workout and felt good in the legs.12.

Nice chill saturday run by my lonesome. Started to rain during the end and it felt really good. I want to race in the rain again like at State track last year. It just feels so different and thrilling... As long as it's not absolutely friggin freezing. Ran a lot of hills and went at a pretty quick pace and it felt really good. Excited for Dogtown Half next week. I've never race a half marathon before, but I'm guessing I can do pretty good. Maybe like a 1:10-1:20. We'll see I guess.
