Workout was 4x800m.  It was a very windy day so I did my best to keep things even on the track.  I hit 2:36 for the first one and I thought I was going to die, but once I got in a rythym things worked out nicely.  last three were 2:36, 2:34, 2:31.  They all felt hard but I could have gone faster but not by much.  I had one to one rest in between each set.  My left calf felt tight but not bad, still just need to take it easy on my left foot.  the bottom front of it seems to not like running?

One easy mile on the treadmill.  Then 10 minutes on the bike followed by 10 minutes of jump roping.  It was a hodgpodge workout, but the bottom of my foot is hurting so I wanted to take it easier.

fun easy four miles.  This was supposed to be a tempo run but my foot is still hurting, and my back doesn't feel great so I just made it another easy run.  Avg 7:30.  It was a fun time in the sand pits with all the mud.

avg was 7:20.  Just a nice run.  It was supposed to be a 6 mile pace run but my body is tired and my foot still hurts a little.  My foot is doing better so I may try and go a little faster tomorrow but we shall see.

1.5 hours straight of basketball in the morning followed by a quick 8 miles.  avg was 6:17.  I wasn't feeling the greatest just becasue my legs were heavy and tired from basketball, but no pain so that was nice.  The first four miles had some good uphill in it, more than it should have because I got lost a little bit.  I started really getting down to race pace after that and my last three miles I averaged 5:52.  Felt pretty good, although with half a mile left I felt myself hitting the wall and I wasn't able to pick it up but i didn't fall off pace.  I just need to be sure and roll out my calves and stretch.
