Afternoon:
Ran with Ian, Kangway, and Dennis. Man I haven't seen them in a while. Taking yesterday off seems to have been a good decision; my knee still hurts, but I felt a lot better than I have been lately. Still, Ian thinks it wouldn't hurt to take tomorrow off. Well maybe I can sneak in a really short run...

I was extremely tired today. I was going to make this my day off, but I figured I should run while it's nice outside. I didn't do the tempo we were supposed to at Garfield.

Afternoon:
Today was pretty bad. It was raining again, so I went to go warm up a little early since it was also a "hard day". Well for some reason we started at around 4:50, meaning that I had done a 65 minute "warm up" and was actually losing so much body heat it wasn't funny. I was pretty miserable by the time the actual workout started. The workout wasn't too hard, but I think I lost some skin near the achilles. I'll just be super alert and cautious tomorrow.

Afternoon:
Nice super easy recovery day. I was going to run on the North Field, but it was locked so I just ran on the South Field again. I didn't run on the actual track the entire time today though, as I didn't want to pound my legs too much. Stopped when I started feeling tired.

Afternoon:
Did many many many laps on the track. I reversed direction every 3-6 laps -- I didn't keep count, just by feel -- so I wouldn't hurt myself despite going at a reasonable clip (slower than a tempo but faster than a distance run). Actually not a bad day.

Afternoon:
Today was really long and draining, and it felt like it, but was also the first time this week that it wasn't raining at the beginning of practice. We went down to Lacey to do a 30 minute tempo, but by the time we got there, I had already been running for 50 minutes. I had no gears and ran with G the entire time, who also didn't switch gears but steadily speed up through the workout. I was actually very impressed with him, he ran really well, especially towards the end.

Afternoon:
Saw Dr. Shapiro on the North Field before practice, and ran with him for perhaps 15 minutes. Good luck in your lecturing debut tomorrow Dr/Professor Shapiro! Then I found out we were doing a track workout today :-/ (6x400) I didn't want to go fast yet so I ran most of them in about 82. Despite this, my legs still locked up and on the cooldown to Lacey I definitely felt bad things in my lower ankle/achilles. It seems to be better now (knock on wood), but I'll have to be more careful. I don't know how many miles I did today but I'm going to call it 8-9 miles.

Afternoon:
More rain. In fact worse than yesterday. I did a little loop around Caltech and then headed to the track, and I was surprised to see Scott there after five or ten minutes (oops, I guess I should have paid more attention to that email). Surprisingly almost everyone showed up. We did Crazy Tree (also known as Mildly-Abnormal Tree), and right after we finished the sun came out. Epic.

Afternoon:
Rain. At least it's not cold yet. I just ran on the North Field for a bit today. I feel pretty good now, even though I'm running pretty much every day. I think the difference is I actually try to recover and go slow on recovery days. I didn't really expect anyone else to be there, but I saw Justine for a little bit :)

Afternoon:
I felt much better today. I woke up at 7:30 to get stuff done, but was pleasantly surprised when I finished by 9:30. I also got done with my CS11 meeting early, so I headed down to the track early as well. I think I managed to get in a solid 4.5 or 4.75 miles (I lost count after lap 15) before our actual run. We did a wacky Lacey long way reverse. I took it pretty chill with Scott.
4.5 mi + 42:17

Afternoon:
A pretty long day, and somehow it's still not over. Went to bed at 2am, woke up at 5am to finish work; 9-12 class. 1-2 class. 2-4 homework. But practice went pretty okay. I felt much more relaxed than I normally do on tempo runs. I think Scott had me at 11:44 for 4 laps around Garfield, but its not too important. This is pretty much the first time since XC that I've gone "fast", so I didn't want to push it too hard. Unfortunately I don't know how long I ran. I want to say it was a 8-9 mile day in total though.

Afternoon:
Tuesdays and Thursdays promise to be extremely draining this term, and today was no different. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it when I have to go hard. I would just do the workouts at another time (morning would be excellent) but I feel like I will do better if I have someone to run with.

Morning:
Worked all day on Me72 and my programmer. It finally works! However the transistors I used are a little slow, so it programs the chip at about 1/4 of the speed of the original design, but that is still acceptable to me.
Afternoon:
Took it reasonably chill with Garrett, Cam, DChun, and Alex. We did Huntingson, which was pretty close to what I did Friday. I felt a little drained towards the end of last week, so I'm aiming to avoid that this time.

Easy run today, which is good since I was pretty tired from yesterday and troubleshooting my programmer last night. It still doesn't work, but I think I have a good idea of what's going on. I did Huntington but came back on Marengo instead.

16 strides at Lacey then back long way... I'm not really ready to go fast just yet, and my Thursdays suck. I was pretty out of it for most of the workout.

Afternoon:
I only had 2 new year's resolutions. One of them was that I would run at least 5 days per week except if I was injured. We'll see how long that lasts. Today I just went down to Speedway and Harrison like I used to do 2 summers ago.
