8 miles light fartlek run on road behind walmart, my legs were hurting a bit and I struggled to get them to move very fast, but after a while I started feeling better and cruised the last couple of miles. I have to run alone at night (which I actually don't mind very much) now because I got this job that is right after school. It will just last a month though, so I can train with the team once track "officially" starts. I also figure that I could start running in the mornings, but a lot of times Sean has me do doubles, so I figure I'll either have to run in the mornings in the dark alone, or at night in the dark alone...or both. So I might as well make the most of it. As lame as it sounds I actually have grown wto enjoy running by myself, I get to focus more on how I feel, and it teaches me to become more self-dependent on hitting my splits when I run. Also I like the fact that I can take as many bathroom breaks as my body needs considering I won't have David complaining about how I have to go to the bathroom so much. Haha! ;) Just kidding David...but seriously :)
Workout: 8 mile Light Fartlek
Strength Training: Lunge switch plyo squats 1*1:00, Sled machine squats backwards (sorry myself, that's the best way I can explain it) 4*12, 4*10 Dumbell deadlifts on bosu ball. Core workout using body ball, I tried hard to imitate Galen Rupp's workout I saw on Flotrack (http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/249744-Workout-Wednesday-Season-7/video/684139-WOW-Rupp-in-the-Weightroom). However, it is much more difficult than it looks..
