7am - 4 miles
Worked all day and planned on taking the rest of the day off so I think my body needed the rest in the afternoon.
I also made some kick ass Chai this morning. I was pretty excited about it.
Maybe I will share the recipe if I feel it is worthy after a few more trials.

Slow day for this guy
Wed. Jan 23, 2008
7 am - 3 miles (pretty easy)
7pm - 7 miles (probably pretty easier)
My legs didn't feel the best today so I just took it easy and did some easy miles. I haven't taken an off day in a couple of weeks so tomorrow might be the day.
Worked at the Greenwich store for the rest of the day and just hung out.

Workout
Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
9am - 4 miles
6pm - 3 mile warmup, 4x1200, 3 mile cooldown
The 1200's were supposed to be (72,71,70) (72,71,69) (72,71,68) (whatever I could do)
The first two started out a little slower, I think I was about 3:37, then 3:34, then 3:28. Coach Mike came up to me after the 3rd one and asked how I was doing, and truthfully my legs were pretty tired. He said if I couldn't do the 4th one faster than the 3rd that it wasn't worth doing. So instead he had me do an 800. It went 69, 65. It was nice changing the workout a little. Hopefully this won't have to happen very often. The weather was also about 28 degrees but it wasn't too bad.

Martin Luther King Day
Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
11am - 11 miles
Ran at the Rockies with Jon and James for an easy 5 miles, then met up with Joseph, one of the Kenyans on the team, and finished another 6 with him. He is a super nice guy and for a while we were going nice and easy and talking. After about 3 miles we started hammering and it was alright but I truthfully didn't want to hammer. Anyways we finished up and then afterwards I went to meet up with the boys at the El Dorado diner in Tarrytown.
Took a nap later in the day, then played video games. Good day.

Football day
Sun. Jan. 20, 2008
Noon- 15 miles at the Rockies
I met up with Jon Byrns at the Rockies and we went for an easy run. He ran about 10 and I tacked on a few more miles. I think we were cruising at a comfortable pace. The weather was a bit chilly at around 20 degrees, but not too bad. Afterwards I went out to eat a little lunch with Ryan and Kevin at Eileen's Country Kitchen on McLean.
Also today were some big football games, so after lunch I headed to Kevin's house in Woodlawn and watched the games for the rest of the afternoon. Most people would call this a very slow boring day....I couldn't have been happier.

Hills
Sat. Jan. 19, 2008
9:30am - 2.5 mile warmup, 1 mile tempo, 8x300 meter hills, 4 mile cooldown
Jeff came with me today up to the Rockies to do some running but he was only going for an easy run because he is racing tomorrow at the GBTC Invite . SO we got there and met with coach Mike and talked for a few minutes and met some of the new teammates that I never saw before. I will say some of the chicas are cute.
The Tempo mile was 5:02 and then the 300 hills were 51, 51, 50, 50, 50, 49, 49, 49. Didn't feel 100% again but I felt alright. I didn't try to kill myself on the hills either, I just wanted to put in the good work.
After the workout we came back to the house and I cooked some delicious steel cut irish oatmeal...I will put up a pic of what it looks like. Then headed down to the Armory to watch the New Balance Games and Jeff's teammate Jess Minty run in the professional mile. It was really cool to see her lined up against so many good girls....and my secret woman, Sara Bei....thats right BEI not HALL, in my mind she is still available. Her race didn't go as well as she had wanted but she still ran good for a season opener, 4:49. Then my teammate Abioyot Endale ran the men's race and ran 4:04.
Afterwards we headed to Coogan's pub to grab some food with the other athletes. I got a burger. After that Jeff and Jess took off back to Bean place and I went up to Nuge's to play UNO for money.....it was pretty sweet.

Jeff Came down to the Great State
Fri. Jan. 18, 2008
10:30 am - 4 miles
4pm - 8 miles
I didn't feel 100% today, i think it was the fact that my house was about 60 degrees and I had to sleep last night with like 18 layers on. My thumb has been purple for the past 3 days.
Later in the day after having a VERY uneventfull day, I went running with Nuge up to the Gates of Heaven cemetery. This cemetery is huge and never crowded, so it turns into a very safe place to run. This place is exceptionally hilly too, and just staying to the perimeter gave me 8 miles. Afterwards we had some pretty delicious pizza, and then I headed home.
Went to Greg's and dominated in Fight Night 3, even though he will argue that he was fighting better. All I can say is that he got KNOCKED THE F*** OUT.
Then Jeff came down. Jeff's teammate Jess Minty is racing tomorrow in the invitational mile at the New Balance Games at The Armory in NYC. So he is shacking up here and we will run together tomorrow then eat then watch some running then eat then he leaves. Good day in my opinion. Thats is, now I am gonna finish watching Gangs of NY and sleep.
