Monday 3
I just finished reading an article in Runner's World that really hit home on my feelings about running. I get to run today. I get to race often and the beautiful thing is I'm somewhat competitive. Justin says I run too much, and he's probably right, but I like running 5 days per week and I would run more if I could.
The other thing I read that interested me was negative thoughts creeping into my races.
Drills
Core circuit x 3 (plank, crunches, clams, hip abduction, abs, back extension)
Chest circuit x 3 (press, fly, decline)
Back circuit x 3 (pull downs, low pulley rows, straight arm pull)
Ankle SAM

Fireball Classic
My eleventh running. 22:09 - 5th of 36 age group - 110 of 1081 overall. My focus during this race was eliminating negative thoughts.
Tuesday 4
We played 4-5 hours of pick up volleyball.
Wednesday 5
Haw Ridge Loop
We had thunderstorms and rain most of the day. It did quit long enough for me get my soggy run / hike in. I tried to run most of the hills, but by mile 6 I was so soaked there I couldn't keep my glasses clean enough to see. Hiked in the last 1.5 miles.
My left second toe has gone black again. I don't know what's up with that.
