Ok up late watching Olympics. It's good to know that the fastest race in history wasn't important enough to be broadcast on Live television. I think Bolt could've gone 0.10 to 0.13 seconds faster. He might run sub-9.5 in 2012. 8 kudos to Michael Phelps. Two great pieces of God's work. Also, I'm thankful to have seen a 38 year old win the Women's 26.2 and a 41 year old medal in women's swimming. Seeing that lets me know that if I don't reach my peak in the normal ages of 26-32 (or whatever they may be), then it's not over. Now I know it's never over.

Monday 8/11 AM 2.5 roads easy. shin exercises reduced to once/day. Core meant for PM but went out and bought a bunch of necessary items for college.

Tuesday 8/12 AM PT and Core. PM 2.5 roads medium effort. felt great; very fast and easy. I would've liked to have seen the time on this one it seemed pretty good.

Wednesday 8/13 AM Core. PM 2.5 roads medium effort. not fast, didin't feel great.

Thursday 8/14 AM Core, Bike 3.6mi to work. PM 3mi roads. not hard/not easy.

Friday 8/15 AM Core, AM run 3mi main st w/Neil. 19:44, 6:34 pace. Neil stepped in a nice little hole 2mi in and had to slow down a lot but I kept hammering through and this was probably my fastest training run ever. I dont remember ever going faster than like 6:45 for any tempo run of any distance. It wasn't all out either, its just the same effort I put into my tempos as I ever have.

Saturday 8/16 AM Core, AM run 2mi roads. Went for 3mi, but 1.25 in I felt some give in the fibula so I called off the 3, took it easy home. Taking care of the leg.

Sunday 8/17 Off, rest, I love God.

Week Total 15.5mi. Four out of Six were good runs I guess, other than feeling a little crappy on Wednesday and hurting today.

That run Friday really surprised me. If that's any indication of my physical ability, I'd be in the best shape of my life. Not much more I can say or do with that though.. I just have to keep doing the core workouts (which have helped a TON), running every day even if it means going less to keep from injury, and keep letting the Lord renew my strength. This was a good week because I followed those steps.
