I ran with Sullivan, Query, and Mayhew. We went over to check out Safari Trails. For the most part it was really nice we actually almost made it to the West Vigo Elementary School, which hasn't been accessible since about November. Then we headed over to Levee for a little bit. In the afternoon Sullivan and I did plyometrics, weights, and core.

8 mile progressive run in 51:20
I ran with Sullivan down Heritage Trail. We did a progressive run, and here are our splits......7:49, 6:56, 6:39, 6:24, 6:09, 5:57, 5:46, 5:34. I felt pretty good today.

Nice, relaxed run by myself on Levee today. I worked 12 hours today and was still sore from the workout yesterday so I took it pretty easy today. I did some pullups when I was done.

I ran with Sullivan today at McCormick's Creek State Park. We carpooled there with Julia Costello and Kristy Twitchell. Sullivan has a GPS watch and doesn't seem to realize that it is not 100% accurate, especially in thick, tall trees haha. Therefore, I feel like we ran more than 13, because we ended up running about 1:42. Anyway, it was my first time to McCormick's Creek and I am pretty impressed. The trails were well kept up and there was plenty of hills to get one's heart rate up.

I ran with a pretty large group: Sullivan, Bedford, Andrews, Query, and Mayhew. We went across the river to Safari Trails. I actually felt great today despite hitting some large hills at McCormick's Creek yesterday. In the late morning Sullivan and I did ladder drills, core, and weights.

I ran with Sullivan to Deming, then Dobbs, then around the football stadium. I did 6 X stride integrated into the end of the run.

10 miles in about 68 minutes
Sullivan and myself ran West Terre Haute Loop and surged up the five major hills that we encountered during the loop. It was a great run and a good mixture of a hill workout and a medium long day. When we got done running I stretched pretty well and did some pullups too.

I ran with Query, Sullivan, and Mayhew on St. Mary's Loop. I actually woke up this morning with a sore throat and worked all day and it became worse and worse as the day went on, and I began to feel very weak. I considered not running but I felt OK before the run and I went to the training room and took my temperature and it was normal, so I did it and it went all right. Right after it though I became very cold and tired, so we will see what tomorrow holds. In the afternoon I lifted and did core.

I ran by myself really slow today because I am still sick. I went to the training room and Sherri said that I don't have a fever and I don't have strep throat, but that my throat is really red and swollen. I feel pretty weak and tired, but I can still run OK so I will try to keep going and we'll see if I can't get over it really quick.

Well I went to Union's ER to get a strep test, and the doc says that I don't have strep but that I could have mono. He told me to wait a few days to see if it is just a run-of-the-mill viral infection. If my condition doesn't get any better I'm going to go back in and get checked for mono. Let's hope it is not that. I didn't run today, so we'll see if I can get healthy again quickly.

I'm feeling much better today, so hopefully it is not mono and just a simple viral infection. I'm not going to run today, but if I improve this much tomorrow I definitely will.

Week ending July 19

I felt much much better today. Let's hope this is my last setback of the summer and that I can start doing some training haha. Anyway I ran to Deming and then Thompson's Ditch. After the run I did pushups, core, and stretching.

I ran with Sullivan to St. Mary's and back. When I got back I did 6 X 100 meter stride and pullups. Felt pretty good today. Early in the afternoon Sullivan and I went swimming and took a dip in the hot tub at the new rec center. That place is so sweet.

2 mile warmup. 6 mile tempo with Schulz and Sullivan. Hey Schulz, it is the TOW path not the TOE path, you wouldn't call it a "foot appendage" path would you? Anyway, like Schulz said, we averaged 5:40 for the 6 miles. 2 mile cooldown. Great day overall. After the run Schulz, Sullivan, Tony, Koressel and myself ate at a pretty good Mexican-style restaurant in Indy.

Sullivan and I ran at Eagle Creek State Park this morning. A pretty good run overall. After it I did 4 X stride in my new flats.

I ran on the golf course by my house this morning. Austin Cline ran with me for half of it. I felt good today and I did 8 X strides with my Vibram Five Fingers, which felt amazing. After the run I did a little bit of core and pushups. I am running the infamous Frankfort Bun Run 5K tomorrow morning, and apparently there is a doctor in Frankfort who will be running and has run 1:09 for the half and got 2nd at the Chicago Marathon this year. It appears as if I may have some good competition.

Frankfort Bun Run 5k...2nd place in 15:44
Well it turns out I didn't have to worry about the doctor too much, but Joe Hoffman, a friend of mine who runs for IUPUI. He is in very good shape and made a strong late surge on me to pull away and win it in 15:36. I'll take it, it is 24 seconds faster than I have ever ran at the race, and this is my first race since March.

I ran with Sullivan, Mayhew, and Query on Safari Trails and Levee. I felt pretty sore today but it was very good weather. After the run I did 32 pullups.
