Tuesday feb 2

Did well on all my exams, for my semester grades i had As and one B+, I think. Some of my averages are unofficial, until my report card comes out. Fair enough overall though.

In the morning, I went to Coach Cornwalls track workout. Its mainly for sprinters, but I believe it will definitely benefit me as well. Cornwall says I am looking kinda ripped. Nice. We did Plyometric training. Jumpin sideways onto and over mats, pushing a wood two by four wrapped in a towel across the floor, and jumping onto a stand as tall as my hips. It was legit and very challenging me. He says its good for my rhythm and it will help we react to surges and my kick. We also did some shoulder lifts with dumbbells; we did strait arm front raise, wing raises (for the upper back), and military press.
Ran 70 min for tuesday. with Adam, Mog, and Matt. Adam and Mog went a little longer, my foot and knees were killing me. I'm not really sure what I did to my foot. It hurts right in between the balls and like my index toe hurts too. My knees hurting is usual for me; it is a sign that I need new shoes and that I have been running on too much hard surface. Went a got new shoes later that night. Pegasus 26. 2nd pair of the 26's and like 6th pair of the Pegasus. They are good shoes, I recommend them.

Wednesday Feb 3rd

Snow Day! haha. We probably only needed a delay but what ever. The teachers, I believe, sometimes are more energetic about snow days than the students. This weekend we might get a blizzard! Holy Mackrel. Blizzard -A blizzard is a severe storm condition characterized by low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy blowing snow - From wikipedia. I dont believe I have ever been in a blizzard. I cant wait to try and run and walk in it! Gonna be intense.

I need to start reading again. I havent read a book since December. I believe reading is a good thing to do in order to expand your horizons and learn. I think I am going to read this running book my uncle gave me. It is by George Sheehan, I believe.

I ran with Mogi, I only got 45 mins in my new shoes. I was pooped from the day before, didn't realize it until I got into my run. I feel like I am complaining too much about my pains. My arms were the first things to feel sore, then my legs were tired. I was holding Mogi back. Track is not that far off...... I wonder what coach is gonna have us do on the first day. Last year he did a two mile time trial. HMMMM. I just realized that spring sports have a month of built in conditioning just like the other sports. I never really realized it, but Feb doesn't have any Meets, its all training, sweet. Got some time to get my mileage up to a respectable level. haha
