Probably the best run I've done so far while at home. 43 minutes easy with no pain, just went exploring around the new neighborhoods by my house. Wasn't going too fast, but not too slow either. Overall felt great.

Afternoon:
Ran 35 minutes around the same places as yesterday; I started feeling something in my right ankle around mile 2 (seems just like soreness/weakness) but just to be cautious I stopped this run a little short.

26/11/2009
Afternoon:
I would have done the turkey trot, but:
1) I'm really out of shape
2) I doubt Ian and Scott would approve
Also, I woke up at 7:00 (race starts at 8) and decided I didn't want to go. It was nice sleeping at home.
Anyways ran for 35 minutes around Udall park and at the elementary school; I didn't want to spend too much time on the concrete, because that is all I have out here.

Morning:
Either no one showed up (expected), or I left too early. Either way it wasn't so bad, did an extended pre-race and went to class. I was absolutely disgusting since I didn't get a chance to shower but it doesn't matter at all. Going home today!

Morning:
Pre-race easy with Dennis followed by 15 minutes on the track for a total of 41 minutes. My legs feel tired from yesterday (but not sore...).

Afternoon:
5.75 miles in 45 minutes followed by 6x300 with the track class. Jason is super fast, and my arms hurt now.

Morning:
Ah, a morning run, the first in a while. It was great, big D and I talked about video games, computers and racing for a good 40-45 minutes (I forgot to time the barefoot part, but I know it falls into that range). I'm starting to get into actual shape.

Easy 3 miles on the track followed by a bit of the "track class" workout followed by an easy mile. Took about 35 minutes not including breaks. My legs felt surprisingly fine during it, but we'll see tomorrow.
18/11/2009
Ran for 35 minutes today; 18ish in shoes and 17ish barefoot. Then lifted for nearly an hour, however I feel kinda out of it. I wake up really early now, but also go to sleep really early (like yesterday I went to sleep at 8, woke up at 3). I don't like it.

2 mile warmup and then did another mile warmup with Nina. She then wanted to run a 7:00 mile (I have no idea why, but it seemed like someone told her to do it as a workout), so I paced her for that. She did surprisingly well, running 1:45, 1:45, 1:45, 1:35 for a 6:50. Now I know that pacing definitely helps (and I actually did pretty well in judging the 7 min pace), but seriously a negative split like that is amazing, especially since she is relatively new to running. If she works on her breathing rhythm a little and keeps with it she'll be a great distance runner. Cooled down for 5 or 6 laps, all told about 41 minutes of running.

Ran 31 minutes on the track, 15ish in shoes and 15ish without. Felt surprisingly strong today in terms of running, but lifting was another story.

Afternoon:
20 minutes on the track (7 of which were barefoot). Felt pretty good, but I was tired when lifting. Should have eaten lunch.

Afternoon:
Did 30 minutes on the North Field. It actually almost feels like I'm a legitimate runner now. Afterwards lifted and did 125 medicine ball throws with the 6kg ball (50 followed by 75). A pretty good day overall.
08/11/2009
Afternoon:
Lifted for a good hour and a half or so. I can bench 3 reps of 115 after 4 sets of 6 reps of 95. Awesome.
07/11/2009
Morning:
Did 25 minutes easy on the North Field; 17.5 with shoes and 7.5 barefoot. Felt alright, but when I went to lift I realized I hadn't recovered since the night before. Will do exercises tomorrow.

Afternoon:
Did 25 minutes on the North Field. I'm actually doing long enough runs now that I feel like I'm getting back in shape. I want to run a 4:40 mile in track this year (so 4:22ish 1500?), so I better get on this. Did 100m of lunges + core. Increased weights for most exercises by 5lbs/arm.

05/11/2009
Afternoon:
Ran around the track for ~17:30, then ran barefoot on the inside of the track for ~7:30. Felt good today, but tomorrow is the real metric for how it went...

Afternoon:
Did some laps down at Rosemead for 7x(3 on, 2 off). Was rather difficult, especially with tires that clearly need air.

03/11/2009
Afternoon:
Ran for 20 minutes on the track. I don't know if I'll ever feel "good" about running again. I swear I always feel something in my foot; it's one thing to be cautious but the constant worrying is depressing.
02/11/2009
Afternoon:
Did an easy 15 minutes (w/ shoes) + 5 minutes (w/o shoes) on the north field with Mark. Tried to figure out why I suck so much; nothing conclusive determined.
01/11/2009
Night:
Ran down California to San Marino and back. I wanted to do more, but I decided it could be bad news later. Also I was really tired from midterms and everything...
