run faster

I get a call from my high school coach inviting me to run a time trial with the kids. I said yes. I haven’t been doing much training because of work and school but figured 3.1 miles shouldn’t be that bad and it would be fun. I get there and find out we are actually doing 8 miles, yikes! He says I can ride my bike but I’ve never been one to skip workouts unless I’m hurt.
So we get on the road and I’m running 6 minute pace which is good considering the limited training and having been sick for the past week. Anyways, this is not a comeback story, I died little by little but managed a 55:49, about 6:58 miles. Way off my personal best of 46 min but I was expecting worse.
Now I’m psyched about training and coming back maybe I’ll do some indoor races. My load of school and work is not too bad this fall so my goal is to train at least 5X a week. Gotta get myself a good training book and start building my work outs.

I say f* work and f* school if it don’t give me anytime to do any serious training. Enough time for half hour runs is not enough for a distance runner. I need a buddy who will run with me late at night or the marathon this year will be very slow or I won’t finish cause i won’t cross that finish line if my time is slower than 2:52. Anyone from Staten Island, NY just though I’d ask.

Since school ended I have taken a small break off running so my legs can heal from little things that were bothering me. I’ll be working at a running camp in two weeks and I’ll use that to go back into faster longer training. Since I have postponed running a marathon till next year. I will focus on improving my mile time to around 4:20 this winter.
happpy running all

Today was bit chilly. I ran the 1500m and the 5000m. First was the 1500 and it was bad, it put my confidence way down. The 5k was couple of hours later I ran it with no expectations and felt good and so pushed harder and ran personal best. Good day. happy running all

my knee hurts aaarrghhh!!
this is so annoying, especially because we practice in the worst indoor track in Brooklyn. When will it be warm again I want to run outside. Running injured is the only time when I hate running.
Now that I’m done complaining.
I ran conference champs 2 weeks ago and I did pretty good. Not my best time but I ran a competitive race which is what I like about running.

Ran regionals, it was a tough race. Not my best effort. Cross Country is done, now onto indoors. 5000m and 3000m yey!

it was good ran a personal best, top man in the team.
as a team we did ok, but could have done a lot better.
now on to get whooped at regionals. It will hurt.
Peace.

had a great workout last monday, got the flu felt like crap on Wednesday. Got back but not feeling great, ran ok today.
Two weeks till conference.

The team raced really well today i ran my best time at Van Cortland Park 27:40 for 5 miles. At Conference champs we are going to do really good can’t wait.
