Afternoon:

Did a short run with Mark on the South Field. I don't feel too bad but sadly that is faster than I've gone in a while.

Afternoon:

I am so tired today... I only got 6 hours of sleep total in the last 2 nights, and no more than 2 hours per block (1 nap and 2 actual "nights" of sleeping). Anyways I lent my watch out to G today, so I just did 8-10 laps on the track (should be 15 minutes or so). I actually lost count because I was really out of it. Afterwards I lifted. It was hard to get started, but once I did my muscles were actually okay. Did deadlift today, will do 100m of lunges tomorrow.

Afternoon:

I was on the bike today. I was supposed to do 7x(3 on, 2 off), but on the 6th one my right foot started feeling... just different. I didn't want to ruin my recovery, so I bailed at that point. Hopefully it's nothing but me being paranoid.

Afternoon:

It was pretty crappy outside today, and I have a ton of work over the next two days. Did a nice 15 minute run with Jess, then rushed home to finish homework. Didn't feel anything with the feet yet, hopefully it stays that way...

Afternoon:

So Facebook keeps telling me to write on Alyssa Deaver's wall. I don't know what kind of algorithm consistently tells me that (it has happened about 75% of the time if you include reloads, and a whopping 4/4 if you just count initial log ins), but I feel like it's missing some input data.

Anyways, did the 15 minute 3600 today; I felt like I had better form that I did even last Friday. Hopefully nothing crops up with the achilles, and I can continue training for Track. I think I can actually do best in the 1500, but I really didn't have any base last year so the 5000 times may be off by a good deal. Time will tell.

Also, I've noticed that I've gotten a lot better at the medicine ball exercises; 2 sets of 50 each with the 5kg ball! Although I was pretty tired on the last 7 or so.

Morning:

Woke up and went to practice. The kids are going to Prado today, and the gym doesn't open till later, but I thought I'd at least drop by.

Afternoon:

Did 3 x Rosemead to do the bike workout (10 x (2 on, 1 off)). It's really nice over there at night; even though it's dark there are so few cars it doesn't matter. I was slightly cold but that was my own fault. I think the squats/deadlift must be helping; the bike felt significantly easier than last time despite me not using it for a while. Or it could just be the fact that I am in the slightly higher gear.

Afternoon:

Did the 10:00 minute 2200 (sorry Ian!). Again I swear I felt something different in the foot, but no severe negative effects noted yet. I'm going to be on the bike tomorrow so that should help at least. Also lifted again; I can tell my arms are getting tired from bench press, but I can do at least one rep at 115lbs (almost precisely 101% of my body weight)!
