THE RUN DOWN
Monday: 100's on the minute. I don't know how many I did, but it was a bunch. 18 sounds like the right number. Lifted afterwards.
Tuesday: 300, 400, 500, 500, 400, 300. Asides from getting slow, I don't see anything beneficial from running these long ladder workouts. Coach'll
say something about this workout is good for aerobic conditioning, but I'm not hearing that noise.
Wednesday: Pumped some iron. Someday I'm going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime. Just you wait and see. My current 150-pound frame will deceive you.
Thursday: Ran 8 200's at a brisk to very brisk pace. Started at 30 and then dropped to 25ish. Lifted.
Friday: Ran some stairs and lifted.
Saturday: Worst workout of the week. Ran a 6 by 6 on a hill. Okay, so this is a 6 by 6 ... you run 150 meters up a freaking steep hill 6 times in less than 6 minutes. It might sound easy, but believe me when I say reps 4 and 5 sneak-up on yea.
Sunday: Off
ROUND HERE
Life is going well. I guess I don't have too much interesting happening in my world right now. This whole week was all about starting-up with the school year routine. Work. Class. Work. Practice. Class. Day-in and day-out. That's my routine this fall. I know it isn't too glamorous or exciting, but this is my last fall semester and despite my boring schedule I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
And speaking of seeing lights at end of tunnels, my roommate P.J. who is a hurdler on the team thought it would be a good idea to see how long he could shine a flashlight into his eyes. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like too much fun. Stupid sophomore.
LEADER OF THE PACK
The first installment of my Leader of the Pack Award goes to none other than Bryce Beckman. He ran those 2 hundos with me on Thursday and I got taken to school. Keep up the great work Bryce.
WORTHLESS WORDS OF WISDOM
This weeks worthless words of wisdom comes courteous of my coach, Steve Mathre.
"You know something, if we cross that finish-line first we'll win the race."
Yes coach, how right you are. John Madden couldn't have said it better.
