Anything Will Burn If the Furnace is Hot Enough

​Solid first run of the season. Solid as in really hard. I got my wisdom teeth out last wednesday and I haven't eaten any actual food for a few days, so I'm gonna go ahead and use that excuse because it seems pretty valid. I'm excited for during the season when the runs actually feel good and stuff and the runs feel like they're helping my body and not destroying it. Can't wait for what's going to happen this season.

​Today was straight up 10x easier than yesterday's run. I ate two costa vida burrtios yesterday so I had a lot in my system, and I'm guessing that helped. Ran 15 min then finished on the grass with some striders.  Really confident for this upcoming season and it sucks that its like 2 months away haha. Kids club was good but I had a phsyical at 9:10 that I forgot about and my mom came to the elementary at 9 and was like "don't you have somewhere to be buddy?" Man what would I do without my mom..

Nice run felt good on the legs. Coach twisted his ankle and ate a bucket of crap so that was cool. His hand looked gnarly. Went and helped Holt's brother and dad move a giant hot tub from their backyard and onto a trailer. Extremely hard work and definitely the most stress I've ever forced my body to endure. There was a point where we were in an awkward position and it was pretty much just me and Alex holding the corner of it and luckily he is shredded because I was dying. Once we set it down he like colapsed on the ground and I had to take a sit for a second. Ripped my finger open on the very last push so that blowed. Overall a good morning because a lot happened.

1. Coach fell hard

2. We moved a giant hot tub and my biceps are gonna be huge tomorrow (if that's how muscles worked, that'd be dope)

3. I learned what Plywood was.

Loop down to telegraph and up the Parkway. Nice long uphill and then a quick downhill. My right quad was hurting pretty bad today. Hopefully it's just sore and I didn't hurt it or anything. It hurt especially bad during striders. Stretched it pretty good after practice and will throughout the day. Colton said there were some Nike Flyknit Racers at Ross for like $50 so I'll probably go check those out and get them today if I can. Actually, it depends on if my mom loves me enough:)

50 minutes w faster finish

Met at Sullivan park and ran out around Shinob Kibe on the roller coaster trail. Me and J cruised on that baby and gapped everyone by a bit. Looped around and rejoined everyone for a faster finish. Started out way too quick and didn't really ease into it, but we chilled and kept a solid 6:40 pace for the last few miles. Coach wants us to start doing quicker finishes on almost every run and I think this is a great idea. Especially if it ends up working and we can do it in races. My right leg right above my quad has been hurting the last 2 days and I'm guessing it's because I've really been focusing on driving my knees up and it's just tired from that. Been stretching and draining my legs at home after practice everyday so I should be safe from any long term injuries.

Was up in Pine Valley all afternoon for my cousins wedding so I just decided to run while I was up there. Went from my grandma's cabin to the Resevoir. Very perty up there. Not too hard of a run because of the shorter minutes.
