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. |

| | Big bike day....Like really big. 75 Miles to NYC with the Hat city bike club. One of the funnest experiences of the summer, went down the typical putnam trailway, onto the north county trail, through a bit of Yonkers, onto the south county trail, stopped at a deli, and eventually went through the Bronx where I almost died a bunch of times ( I suck at unclipping out of my bike that's seat is far too high). But I made it onto the next bike trail in the south Bronx which took us along the water all the way down to a great restaurant in Battery park, then went back up to parallel to Grand central, and biked the 10 or so blocks to GC which was beyond a nightmar, but it all got done, happy to have gotten in one last super bike before ended.

| | Another easy night run with Jimmy and Zach, at one point I felt the pace was too weak, so I took it upon myself to amp up the pace in Rogers Park (which was amazing at night) while the guys did some barefoot running on the turf. Had a good discussion with Zach about Nutrition afterword at my house....really need to start getting into the habbit of keeping a good diet at Albany.

| | AM: One last easy run with my mom, down Birch, and then out to State Line, pace was VERY slow, but it was mostly for mom, so I allowed it and was cool about it, totalled 5.5 miles.
PM: 5.5 Miles Starting to get back to buisness with a Speed Interval workout of 10 X 4's taking a 1 minute rest between each rest. Goal pace for the first 5 was 70, i hit all of them on pace, or a second fast. After the 5th, I took a lap to jog around and put on my shoes and get some water (About 6 minutes). Goal pace for the next 5 was 67. I hit the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th all at exactly 67, and I dictated the rest very well between them all I never took more than 1:10 for rest. However, before the last one I took a whole 3 minutes, as I really wanted to lay the hammer down here. The rep startted a bit slow at 34ish, but then I picked it up at the end to hit 65, not exacly laying the hammer down, but pretty acceptable considering I was running on a black track in direct sunlight in 82 Degrees.

| | well today was supposed to be a workout early in the morning, but due to my moving into Albany that did not happen, I was up way too late saying a few emotional goodbye to a few people and simply did not have the energy to get it done while also finishing packing hand everything. Therefor this was my first day running in Albany with Liam and Calvin, the only two other pure distance freshmen. We did a few boring loops around campus and bathed in the fountain afterwords. Looking back on the week: It was low in milage, but that is a good thing considering what I have coming for me next week with the team and the time trial which I intend on really running fast at.
