Running Log: Decemebr 7 - 13

Total Miles for the Week: 26.5

12/07 - 1 Miles with Steph - Her knee was a bit hinky from Torraya.
6 Miles alone in Lakeshore, two loops. Ran first loop easy and then faster on the second, sprinting the hills.

12/08 - 2 Miles at the park with 10 exercise (20-30 reps) stations on each mile.

12/09 - 6.5 Miles with Steph and Jimmy at Forest Meadows. Steph misstepped and hurt the ankle opposite her bad knee.

12/10 - 2 Miles at the park. Did sets of push-ups and sit-ups at the exercise stations: 240 sit-ups, 120 push-ups, 40 dips. Lazst sets were all to failure with 5-10 second pauses to finish except dips which were easy peasy.

12/11 - 6 miles in the park. Seemed strained, went easier than usual, still pretty hard.

12/12 - 3 miles at BMX track with Steve et al. My calf never warmed up and it was wet and cold and trecherous which led me to bail on the the last seven+ miles.

Motivational Quote #4

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. - Iron and the Soul, Henry Rollins

You can apply this to any athletic endevour. Fuck. You can apply it to anything in your life.
