Mon - 33 min easy and some strides at Rockies w/ Ryan Schinnerer
Tues - Tuesday Night Speed Series @ Icahn Stadium - 1500 meters - DNF
- 800 meters - DNF
2 mile warmup, drills/strides, 20 min cool down
I felt okay all day and when I finished my warmup and got ready to race my body felt terrible. We went through the first quarter in 59 then right at 1:59 at the half and that was it for me, so I stopped. I felt HORRIBLE. Then I decided to come back like 15-20 min later and run the 800. Yep I DNF'd that too. 55 through the quarter and then 1:24 through the 600 meters. SO then my legs locked up on me so I just stopped.
Wed - Easy jogging
Thurs - 1 hour at Twin Lakes Trail - Legs feel terrible
Fri - 50 minutes easy at BXR path - not feeling very good lately
Sat - 30 min + strides
Sun - MAC Championships @ White Plains HS - 3k steeple - 9:28
My race was supposed to start at 9 am. I got there at 8 and my race, which was the first, did not start till 10:30am. Worst run meet I have ever seen. I went out a little too fast in the race, 68 first then 2:20 then 4:46 at the half. I just felt very tired and was really the only one in the race. Then I actually fell on the last water jump. When I landed my foot slipped on the incline and came to a skid on the floor. That did not help anything. I am getting very frustrated.

Mon - 22 min - Traveled back to NY from LAX at 7:30am and landed in NY at 4:30pm. Wasn't that bad of a trip but I was still tired from the steeple. So later on in the evening I went for an easy jog at a very very easy pace.

I truthfully felt very tight and a little tired all day just from traveling yesterday and was very surprised how I ran. It did not feel very good but not that bad either. Just went out in 60, 2:02, 3:05, and 3:52. I was happy with that race.

Fri - PM - 30 min easy + 4 strides
Sat - Jim Bush Invitational @ Mt. SAC - 3k Steeplechase - 4:35pm
- 15 min warmup, drills/strides, 20 min cooldown
Going into this race I did not know what to expect. I felt that I could run 9 minutes or better but really had not had any REAL indicators. So my goal was to be tough and hang with the front group as long as I could. I truthfully wanted to run around 9:05 pace for the first mile or so......bbuuuuuutttt that did not happen. I was right about 4:42 for the first mile, which actually felt pretty good and I thought I was going to be able to keep that pace up. I was right behind the lead pace at 2k and I was in 4th place. 3rd place was falling off the lead and I thought I would be able to move up to him and just sit behind him. Also during the race I heard the announcer say there were 5 laps left and I was like ohhhhhh shit...cause I thought I had miscounted or something, but when we came back around there were 3. With 800 to go, i realized that I was no longer gaining ground on 3rd place and with 600 to go realized that I was pretty much slowing down. I was at 7:50, roughly, with a lap to go and closed in almost 85 seconds for the last lap. I was not breathing heavy but my legs were just shot and would not go faster. I think it was just because I was not used to the jumping and crap like that. I am not happy with the race but I am not disappointed. It was a descent attempt at my first steeplechase. I ended up running 9:14.45. The link at the top is the start and finish of the steeple. Pretty weak that it is the only race that does not have a full video.
After the race I drove up to Lake Arrowhead, by Big Bear, and hung out with my cousin and some of his friends. This place is at 6,000ft and is pretty awesome.
Sun - AM - 45 min EASY run. This run was actually not that great feeling. I ran fairly slow and I still felt like crap. The place is all rolling hills, at 6,000 ft and I am tired from yesterday
