ZGriff is back, due to peer pressure. Just been super busy, but what I've done is really drop the milage and focus on the races these last couplle of weeks. I feel like I haven't done enough hard workouts, but I've just got to rely on all those dual meets where I ran the 1600, 800 and 4x4 and count on that strength. I ran 2:09.61 on Friday, but I went out in a 62, had a solid third 200 and took the lead and just faded the last 200. Maybe that was because I was alone, maybe because I was doubting myself thinking I may have kicked to early, maybe I just died. But the goal for region is to hang on those last 200 while running a similar race the first 600. If I can do that, look for another couple seconds coming off that time. Hopefully. But today was a fantastic day. I wanted to do a little bit of a longer run, but make it super easy. Going out I was pretty much whisteling? and skipping, enjoying an easy long run. Coming back I just felt good, I felt fast. I didn't go that fast, I averaged 7:34 for the total run, with like 7:20ish, 7:25 coming back, but the good news is that my legs felt amazing. No pain like usual, no feeling like I was dying the last mile, I just felt solid. How I wish I could have ran miles earlier in my Syracuse High Career. XC would be different, Track would be a heck of a lot different. Oh well though, I'll just have to like beat Mary Cain mono e? mono and that will make up for it. But then I did some strides at Jensen Park(Where I started running) and I felt good. I felt super loose and super fast. Plus everyone there was just looking at me and I felt stinkin legit. Almost too legit. Today and yesterday were two I love running days, that's for sure.
