75 minutes

too fast. kyle pushed from the beginning & went out too fast. coach said to go out in like 8:00 minute pace & then work out way down. we probably went out in like 7:2x pace. we went into nature trails after starting from the school & running through the arboretum and then came out on the road to village school, went back into nature trails, ran back to school, did a school loop, and ran a lap on the track. the front pack consisted of kyle, sam, jc, friggly in the beginning, but friggly eventually fell off right towards the end. karl, dave sun, and jon tai fell off (jon tai was in the front pack for quite a bit). i was the chase pack i guess. jc stayed up very well, he's been showing a huge progress lately. i was pretty pissed that we went out too fast & went back even faster, but i guess in the end, it will make me better.

10.x(5?) in 75 minutes or so.

so...mathematically calculated....i hate it when kyle paces....but he's better than me so...tough luck

idk how stefan stays in such good shape running 4 days a week. i've been doing 30-50s & still can't keep up with him. ugh...my efforts once again are futile.

so...apparently heath camp was like today (long, hard runs) + a million hills + cba + heat + pavement + fuck i'm totally screwed. well let's assess the situation shall we?

long runs (+): well i've already a 10 miles @ 7:07, a 12 miler @ 7:36, a 10 miler @ 7:09, a 12.5 miler @ 7:13, a 10 miler @ 6:51, a 10 miler @ 7:13. i think i'm pretty decent at the long run...but these times are w/ breaks in between (crossing the street). however, i find as long as i run smart (don't go out crazy) i can always do well at the long run.

hills (-): fuck....i hate hills. fuck the start hill, fuck that little shitter at the top of the bowl hill. apparently these hills are like every hill at heath camp and there's supposed to be a gigantic mother of a hill that never ends & is like the start hill....fan-fucking-tastic

cba (?/-): not sure...this is an opportunity to assess my fitness against my greatest opponent to come in xc. these are the guys i'm gonna be facing (hines, bohny, costa, bogan, mykityshyn, mazz?) come october/november.......not sure on this one but probably a (-)....

heat (-): i'm not too good at running in 80-90+ but i can stand it...

pavement (+): i've been training on pavement my entire short career as a runner...i'm pretty used to it by now.

so that makes 2 (+), 3 (-)...not too bad. but yea, i'm fucked.
