Ran with Mike and George mark and brian, pretty hilly run, we had some decent surges but it was just fun ways of getting some speed in. Really enjoyed this run.

Did pretty dang good in the team smash tournaments today, made the championship round for individual and won the team tournament with Jake. Then went on a run mostly with Casey but the first half with mike matt sage and koy. Also I have not been able to sleep tonight and its almost 5:30 so I'm thinking of taking saturday easy, I'll will see how I'm feeling.

Solid week of running, just 10 good miles on my own. I felt strong and it went by fast. The plan is to keep at 10 miles per day excluding sunday until januaury, then I will jump to 11-12 if I'm feeling good enough.

Good fast week, today's run was shorter, pretty cold out there! Anyway I ran up to the rec center and did 3 miles at 5:25 pace, felt surprisingly easy, I didn't feel anything until a mile and a half or two miles in. I think it might have been because I was numb from the cold because my gluts hurt a little afterwards. I picked it up as fast as the treadmill could go for the last quarter (only 5:00 pace :/) and then slowed to 6:30 for the last mile and then jogged home easy. Tomorrow will be a good 10 miler, next rest day won't be until after Christmas I don't think, I want to find a good race to do around here over the break.

Only had time for seven. Felt decent but cold, need to dress warmer.

Didn't have much time so I did a progression run simulation on the treadmill, I got a mile further than I did in august before I ran out of time and had to go home because we were going to a play. But I was only 2 laps away from the all out mile when I stopped so I think I can finish the progression run when I go back. Not sure how my last mile is going to be but I'm excited for it!

Ran past the rec center to brighton high school and checked the track to see if it was clear (it isn't) then ran back to the rec center and did 2 treadmill miles, ran the thanksgiving 5k course and went home.

I've been feeling a little lazy this week, I felt great on todays run but prior to it I was dreading it. I went up to the rec center and did 4 treadmill miles and then the 5k route again, its a really nice way to get 3 miles in! And then back home. I hope I'm not running too much on the treadmill, its kind of nice in the winter, I put it at .5 incline and all but I've done almost half this weeks mileage on the treadmill. Oh well, I'm feeling good! I'm feeling like a much stronger runner than I've ever been, I feel like I'm going to get really fast throughout 2017.

Really good run, I did another progression run simulation on the treadmill and I made it to the final all out mile this time which was great! I didn't attempt the all out mile, when the time comes I will probably slow down a little bit during it haha. But now I know I can make it. I just need to train hard over the next week and a half, get prepared for school and then tackle this next semester!
