Today has been a great day so far and its only 11:30am. Last night I was able to complete 2.5 math lessons. I got a good sleep last night and dreamt about smoking people in a race and woke up not feeling so sick as I have been the last 2 weeks. And best of all today we ran 400s (speed workout) as a running class. Although it was tough I felt great!

Morning training breakdown: Slow warm-up mile at about 8:30 pace. 4 x 400. 1) 1:20 2) 1:22 3) 1:24 4) 1:25. We then did some short stretches and I ran the 800 meters back to the Richards Building in 3 minutes. I felt so good I decided to do 4 more 400s so I busted those out 5) 1:25 6) 1:30 7) 1:35 8. 1:34. I then stretched for about 20 minutes. What a GREAT morning. I wish I felt like this every morning.

Afternoon Workout: I rode the Salem Spring Tri bike course with Brandon Carter (12-13 miles). Did it in about 36-37 minutes. I felt pretty good with the bike performance. I hope to keep the bike portion under 40 minutes for the tri coming up

Speed Workout – 6 x 400 at 1:30 each. Cal:124 - Max HR: 192 – Avg HR: 172 – Rate:9 Good stretching

The sprints (ok, slow sprints) where pretty tough. 9 out of 10. My legs felt like jello most of the time and the wind was crazy but all I could think about where my goals. Hopefully this motivation will last.
