No morning practice today. 7 miles total in the afternoon (1 mile warm up, 6x400m with 400m recovery jog, 4xMcGruff's revenge, 4x200m finishes). I was feeling pretty good today but my leg is still bothering me quite a bit.

Easy 6 miles today on the Zen trail. I've never ran on this trail and it was probably one of the funnest trails I've ever run. Good run today, my leg was feeling a little better so that's good.

No morning practice today. 7 mile Michigan workout in the afternoon (1 mile warm up, 1 mile on track at 5k pace, 1 mile on road at 10k pace, 1200 on track at a little faster than 5k pace, 1 mile on road at 10k pace, 800 on track at a little faster than 5k pace, all out 400 on track). It was good to be on the track again for my first ever Michigan workout, having been a little banged up the previous two times. I felt pretty good with the workout today, although my stomach was feeling a bit upset.

3 in the morning to the bridge. 6 mile workout in the afternoon (1.5 mile warm up, 3x5:00 hard w/3:00 recovery jog, 1.5 mile cool down). My hip is still hurting but I've been performing fairly well in workouts. I've been stretching it but it has still been hurting quite a bit.

No morning practice. 6 mile workout at the park out by the STG rec center (2 mile warm up, 6x400m repeats w/400m recovery, 4x200m finishes w/ 200m recovery, cool down). Pretty chilly today, and I did pretty good for only getting 4 and a half hours of sleep last night.

6 miles this morning on a trail out past Hurricane. Pretty cold this morning, there was actually some snow on the ground. It's finally starting to cool down a bit.

No morning practice. 6 miles in the afternoon (2 mile warm up to Bloomington Hills Park, 2 mile time trial, 2 mile cool down back to school). I felt really good today, Kris was out in front of everyone by about 10-15 seconds, but the next 6 (Ben, Josh M, Brigham, Josh T, Me, and Josh S) were all within 3 seconds of eachother. Good run for me.

3 in the morning to the bridge, surprising how cold it's been! 6 in the afternoon on the track (2 mile warm up, 4x400 hard w/ 400 recovery, 4x200 finishes, 1 mile cool down). Pretty good workout today except for my shins hurting a little from jumping a lot for basketball in PE.

3 miles in the morning to the bridge. 6 miles easy in the afternoon out past Hidden Valley. Shins felt a little better today, good thing too with Footlocker in less than 2 weeks! Way excited to go, just hoping my shins are good by then.

No running today because I slept in then went and played basketball with my family and couldn't get a run in for the rest of the day. Kind of mad that I slept in, not running just doesn't feel right.

11.000.000.000.0011.00

I was supposed to do 5 easy miles this morning but ended up doing 11. Yes, 11. Allow me to explain. So Darian told me that she had to do 11 miles today and I was just going to run with her for the first 2.5 then turn around. But then my dad said to my sister, "So you're just going to be running by yourself for the next 8.5 miles after he turns around?" to which my sister replied, "Well I guess Kale could run 11 miles with me." Normally I would have said NO WAY to this, but because I didn't get a run in yesterday I felt sort of obligated to. It was an okay run, we ran 4 miles over to Bloomington, did the 3 mile Bloomington loop, then came back, it was pretty nice outside this morning. I used my compression sleeves for the first time today and I didn't see a huge difference. My legs weren't hurting too bad though which was good. At the end of our run, Darian said, "My legs are pretty sore, I've never run this far before." Confused, I said, "Wait, you've never gone 11 miles before? Why do you have to do it now a week away from your first indoor race?" She replied, "Oh I don't have to do this, I just wanted to get some fun mileage in." At this point you could say that I was pretty angry with my sister. "So you mean to tell me, you could've run 5 easy miles with me today instead????????" ".......Yep." I guess it wasn't that bad of a run, but I wouldn't necessarily call it 'fun', and I really wish she would've told me I didn't have to run 11 miles before I did it.

Drove over to Desert Hills today to do my 6 mile run on the trails behind the school. Ran alone because my sister is a brat and wouldn't run 6 easy miles with me even after I ran 11 with her yesterday. What a punk.

Usual easy 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. 6 miles in the afternoon (1 mile warm up, 4xMcGruff's revenge, 4x1000 on the track w/ 200 recovery jog, 1 mile cool down). Solid workout today, my shins felt a little weird at the start but felt fine on the 1000s. I iced them afterwards and they're feeling good right now. 5 days until Footlocker regionals!!

3 miles on the Footlocker West course in the morning. Very rainy and muddy! Still looks like a really fun course though!

I wasn't feeling very good today, I think I was just a little carsick.
