do or dont there is no try

Today I woke up and ran with the team. The workout was 15min warmup then 6x1min hard on surrey hill with 3min in between plus 8x30sec hard with 2min in between. Felt good and ran with the stronger guys, I needed the speedwork. Afterwards we did about a half hour of cooldown.

AM: 5.5mi with the team. Had to cut the run short cuz of an appointment but still had fun and ran about 7:30's with Gabe.

PM: Ran 4.7mi at a good pace, felt real good.

Went to Fichner Park and decided to do a Fartlek/Interval type workout. 2mi warmup then did 5 hard, 5 easy, 4 hard, 4 easy, then 3, 2, 1.5, and 1 with 1:1 work to rest ratio. It was a pretty hard workout because the grass was super thick!! I definently needed the speedwork and over all it felt pretty decent. I don't know the distance so I'll guess it was 2 warmup, 3.5 workout, and 2 cooldown.. 7.5mi total.

AM: This morning I woke up and went out to breakfast with my sister Christine who is leaving for college tomorrow. I got home and immediately set off for a run hoping to beat the heat. From the start, I wasn't feeling good at all. As the run progressed, I continued to feel lightheaded and itchy in wierd spots. By the time I was finally almost home, I was feeling absolutely terrible. I felt super hot and itchy so I hosed myself down and started itching a ton. My dad (he's an allergist) saw me itching uncontrollably so he gave me zyrtec and also prednesone (don't know how to spell that word). My face then began to puff of really bad and I started to barely be able to breathe! My dad got a special inhaler which I took 4 puffs of plus he gave me a shot of something in my arm through a needle. After that, he quickly rushed me to his office 10mins away and long story short, I was okay after that. Apparently I had an anaphylaxis which I have know idea what that is. Overall, it was pretty scary but whatevs I got 6.5mi in even though I almost killed myself!

PM: I felt a lot better throughout the day, I slept for like 3 hours cuz of all the drugs that made me tired. I got out for another run at about 10:30. 5mins in I saw Ethan so I ran with him and ended up doing 6mi total! oops. Whatever, I felt great so it don't matter.

60min with the team, ran with Gabe for most of the time up at Surrey. Got back and did 3x300 at a little faster than 5k pace, everything felt great.

Today I worked 5 hours, made bank, rode my bike around, and hung out with friends like all day so I didn't get out on my run till about 8pm. It was super nice weather though! I knew I would probably be tired from my long day so I decided to do 12 at goal pace 7:30. The run consisted of going up Cherry Lane, down Hillcrest, down McAndrews, a few miles around Cedar Links golf course, and back home taking a detour down Black Oak to Barnett. I was averaging like 7:10's and feeling pretty good up until about 9mi in. Then, I think it was my achilles that started to ache slightly? It went away within a mile though so that was a relief. I definently felt tired the last few uphill miles coming home.. My legs were just done from a long week of working, running, and not quite enough sleep. But I'm super happy with the week! I hit some high mileage while continuing to stay healthy and work hard! Overall, todays run was 11.9mi @ 7:23 ave pace.
