Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Today was not a good day to forget gloves and a beanie. It was freezing and hecka windy. Everyone stopped to stretch at 2 except for me Connor Baller and Josh. Right after that a dog started following us. It freaked us out cuz it was weaving in between us and we didn't know if it was going to eat us alive or be our best friend. He turned out to be really friendly so we named him Rusty and he ran with us for 4 miles. He waited while we went inside my house to warm up and eat some stuff. After that I looked at his collar and it said his name was Bazil so we called him that. We didn't know what to do with him and we didn't want to run back on state street cuz he might've gotten hit. So we just stopped by where we found him and he started going crazy around this house. We knocked in the door and he ran in, luckily it was the right house. So that was sick. Ran the 2 miles back to the high school and did 15 min on the bike

1.5 mile warmup. Workout was 2X1000, 3X800, 4X400 at 2 mile pace with 90 sec in between. For some reason I was thinking we were only doing 2 800s so I stopped after the 400 on the third 800 but I just did it after the 4X400s. Splits were 3:02, 3:06, 2:28, 2:22, 68, 69, 68, 67, 2:21. Felt worn out mentally and physically and the legs were heavy. Fought through it tho and still managed to stay on pace or faster for the most part. Cool down to 7 then 20 min on the bike.

Was going to run today and cross train tomorrow but my ankle was acting up yesterday so I decided to bike today. Wanted to do over an hour so I warmed up, did the workout twice and cooled down, ended up being 90 min. Lifted a bit and got rolled out by Michael. Pretty painful stuff

7 and a half, mostly on the rail trail. Didn't feel very good so I took it slow for the most part. Got back and did strides then biked 35 min.

2 mile warmup and strides. Workout was 4 sets of 200, 400, 200 at mile pace with a minute in between and 3 min. active rest and 15 jump lunges in between sets. Splits were 32, 67, 32, then 32, 66, 31, then 32, 65, 32 and 32, 63, 28. Felt really good and hit the splits I wanted. Cooled down to 6.5, I wore my 1 inch split leg galaxy shorts today and this little kid yelled "Why are you only wearing underwear?! That's bad!!" It was funny. 20 min on the bike after. Good day

Long recovery run to skyridge then by Collin's and back on Center St. Longest run since the first week of November and it felt great. This creeper truck started following me really slow and freaked me out so I started to pick it up but it stopped. After that I saw CiCi's dad which was cool. And when I passed the house I yelled Basil and he barked so that was a bonding moment. Good run, average pace was around 7:10
