Personal:

When it comes down to it, I'm a lot of things, I love cats, I have a odd passion for History and Geography specifically the Presidents of the Unitede States.  I have a big pack of stickers with my name on them on my desk, and I love to read Goosebumps and watch Seinfeld, and stay up late with my friends at local diners.  But above all I love to run.  I'm a recent graduate of Danbury High School in Danbury Ct where I competed as a Varsity athlete in Cross country, Indoor and Outdoor Track all 4 years.  I began my running career in the sixth grade and started competing in local 5k's the summer following.  Before entering high school I had competed in about 20 various local races.  During high school I made some amazing memories being apart of the track and cross country teams.  From the anxiety filled championship races at Wickham park in the fall, the exciting meets at the Armory in the winter, to my very last meet at Nationals down in North Carolina for the 4xmile with some of th best people I've known these past few years.  This year  I'll be running at the Univeristy of Albany where I will be majoring in History with asperations of becoming a teacher.  I am also a proud Eagle Scout.   This blog will be kept at least for the entirety of my summer training in preperation for my freshmen year.  In addition to running tons this summer I'll also be working 35 hours a week as a lifeguard and sepnding lots of quality time with all the people that I care about.  I've been very fortunate to have been apart of such a great High School Team, and an even better Coach, that gave me the opportunity to be apart of a state open championship team this past fall.  I hope that I have just as much fun with the sport as I move on to the next turn in the trail that comes my way.  

My summer training was widely successful, and I do intend on keeping this blog into the Fall, it was very helpful in tracking my weekly milage, and reading back at what i last wrote it amazes me how much has changed in my since only 8 weeks ago when this blog was established.  I am very excited to make some great memories with Coach Jones, and my fellow freshmen teamates as well as Kyle, Tyler, and the rest of them.

AM:  20 Mins feel like crap.

PM: Couldn't get enough of the Ridgfeild trail so I went back.  Went down to Ballard and back, cruising back the last couple miles around 6 minutes.  8 miles total Felt excellent.  Did a Lift routine at the rec, threw in core and hip.

Speed workout with Jack, 10 x 4's @73-75 (Only stuck to that for first half).  Hit 73 on the button for the first 5 and felt excellent.  Still a little sore in my arms from lifting two days ago.  Brought the pace down for the next few: 72, 70, 68, 68, and then I put the hammer down for my last one hitting high 60.  Felt awesome, kind wish I threw in a morning run today as my milage is going to suffer from the 7 mile day, should certainly do one tomorrow and Friday to tack on 5 more miles to the week.  Tomorrow more supplimatary after I work at Barlow.

Did not have my watch so mileage may be slightly off, did the warmup with team than ran the "Dirty Mexican" trail solo.  This run generally takes about 55-60 inlcuding the warmup so I assumed 8 miles to be accurate. Also did some lifting at the rec prior, worked on my lower back, an area of weakness that I have.  Felt alright

Threshold workout:  Terrywile Multi Effort Loops. X 4.

Warm up was quick with the alumni guys, got into the T7's and begun very quickly.  First loop hit in 5:29 BUT an elderly man walking his two dogs had to take up the entire path at the tp of the first hill so I had to come to a complete stop, holding me back a solid 5 seconds at least so I'm going to say this first one was more accuratly 5:24ish.  Second one was hit right on pace at 5:20.  Third I began to feel lots of weakness but I really threw down the hammer up the last hill, probably lost a few seconds going down the last hill and on the gradual hill about 800 meters in so I hit 5:23.  Last one I went into with a good mental attitude so the first 400 was very solid )around 76-77).  I began to weaken up down the hill and back up again, however I threw it all in towards the top of the last hill and managed to hit 5:25, still in my pace range of 5:20-25.  Overall very solid workout considering several factors that were not present when I did this last time:  1.) I jumped for 30 mins at Skyzone earlier which may or may not have taken something out of me. 2.) The grass was noticably high in some areas. 3.) The people were noticiably high as the smell of weed was very present in the small medow. 4.) The presence of people in general caused my tangents to be a little unefficent (especially that old man with his dog).  Considering all those factors, I am satisfied with averaging 5:23 instead of 5:20.

Easy running on the Ridgefield trail after work.  Feeling VERY sore and beaten down, mostly in my legs.  Still kept a solid pace, likely due to the hard session yesterday.  Resting easy tonight to be ready to go for New Milford 90 with Jamezz.
