Hill Sprints...

Did some hill sprints today with Mike and Bill. It was good. we did about a 1.5 mile warm up, then I did 4 400s with a decent uphill about 1/2 way through, with a 400 recovery run. Those hills are brutal. My heart hasnt really been in it lately. I had a second interview last Friday and I was supposed to hear about it this past Monday. I still havent heard anything! It is very distracting. Anyway, Ive been listening to alot of Lyle Lovett lately. He is awesome. I suggest his music to anyone.

Keep it classy...

Holy Smokes!

Okay, so yesterday.... I ran 8 miles with mike with a couple of 1/2 mile pickups towards the end. It was a good run. So then, after that, I went to the Oregon Brew Festival in the afternoon. It was AWESOME!! I had so much fun. I really enjoyed the darker beers but they were all good. I had a blast with my friend Andrew Jones who I took with me as a thank you for helping me with the scooter so much. I was really glad Jess was there too, she made an excellent DD. Otherwise I totally wouldve needed to stay the night up in Portland or just take a cab back to Salem! Im glad I dont drink that much that often. I enjoyed it to a point, but couldnt do it every day/week/weekend like some people do.
PEACE!

hills glorious hills

Did hill sprints today with Mike. We did 12 200's up Derby Hill at Bush Park. It went good. Started slow, and got faster as the running went on. My best one was :39, and it was my last one! It sure didnt feel that fast. Anyway, Hopefully we will run on Friday and Saturday again. I really enjoyed the back to back run last weekend.

I have a second interview this Friday for the Bicycle Recreation Coordinator position in Salem for the State Parks and Rec Dept. I really hope it goes well.

Peace, Love, and SOUL!

crazy speed workout!

Wow! Just did a wicked awesome speed workout. We did 12 x 400's with recovery in between. My target time was 1:36 and I started out right around there. At about #6 or so I started consistently dropping my time and my fastest was 1:24 and I did like 3 or 4 of them in a row. I was stoked! Anyway, I couldnt believe that I did'em that fast and did that many.

Not too sure what the rest of my week looks like. I will probably do some moderate distance, maybe a hill workout, and then longer on Saturday or Sunday.

base re-building

Ran 8 miles yesterday, it felt good to go back to back again. My legs felt fresh again, I was happy about that - I was getting really tired to feeling so so tired during my runs. There are some 5k's coming up in August at Bush Park, I think Im gonna try to do one of those races - just for fun.

I have a second interview this friday for the Bicycle Recreation Coordinator position. I really hope it goes well, its down between me and another person. It could be an awesome job!

Stay Classy!

Getting back into the swing?

I ran with mike today, first time since the heat training run on Sunday. Starting to feel like I am getting back into the swing of it. My legs didnt feel like they were infused with concrete today so I was happy about that! We did about 6.5 at an easy pace. We both felt like we couldve done more, but he had to go to work and I wanted to save some gas in the tank for tomorrow am.

Maus, let me know when you hook up a training blog!

Stay Classy.

Heat Run

I did a heat run this past sunday with the Studerbaker. It was awful! We ran to where our house is (about 1.3 miles from Bush Park). I was doing okay there, but on the way back I had serious cottonmouth. I tried to snag some water from a hose attached to a bidness, but the h2o was scalding hot. So... I ran about 1/2 lap at Bush and told Mike he could call me a wuss, but I had to walk home. I just felt like my legs were infused with concrete. I got to a water fountain and took some sips, made it home and drank a ton of water/gatorade. I felt alot better. I think I am finally over my sick shiz (which contributed to the poor quality of the run - dehydration) I skipped the track workout because it was mile repeats and I just didnt have it in me. I should run tomorrow but we'll see, I will definitely do hills on Wed. and run med. on Friday and long on the weekend.

Here is a shout out to Mark Maus - if you read this and check for the ultra recap, thanks! Also - check out the podcast "uhh yeah dude" it is hilarious and I think it will make you laugh alot.

Stay Classy

sick run

I ran a couple of laps at Bush with Mike today. I was having some crazy-craze heartburn at it was miserable. IT is still happening too... so, I am off to Freddies to get some pepto or something. Hopefully I will be back to 100% by the weekend and will be able to go for an hour or so...

Dr. Carl could run with mike and I this weekend and I really dont like this guy. He is a major D-bag. All this guy can talk about is triathlons, that is seriously It. Anyway, more to follow.

Sans the Internets

So, I have been without the internets for awhile. I ran on last Sunday morning with a co-worker from the hospital and we ran for about 7 miles or so. It was good. So here is a good story...

On Sunday I ate at Burger King, the BK, and it was delicious, however, I felt like garbage the rest of the day. I kept re-tasting the whopper all night long. Anyway, I digress... I felt weird all day Saturday and then on Monday too. On the way home I could tell my Shiz just wasnt rockin the way I like. I ate 2 cookies, some spicy hotwings and a salad and felt terrible. Tried to sleep and then had the poops (not the bed) at 1am. I woke up and my skin hurt and I just felt really bad. Jess said "dont go to work" but I really felt like I should go. I went to work and then around 3pm I decided that I HAD to go home because I felt so so bad. So, I went home and went straight to bed. I slept till 7pm, got up and spent a bit of time with the fam, then realized that I was going to puke. I decided to just make it happen and made myself throw-up. It was terrible, It was the first time I had vomited in 8 years!!

Needless to say, I havent gone for a run for a while. I need to very badly, however, I feel like someone has injected my legs with concrete. Ive been biking to work, and I just feel crazy sluggish.

I am planning on running with Mike this weekend, so hopefully I will have recovered from my bout with the bug.

Cheerz everyone! Stay Classy.

first of all check out Salems Nick Symmonds destroying the 800 at the Olympic Trials. That is awesome.

Did 6.5 today, it was a good run. Did 2 laps solo then did 2 more with Mike, it was a good morning.

Now off to work! Stay Classy.
