I started this blog today.  I am currently training for  two 5k races - one July 4th and one August 8th.  I really want to break 22 minutes, so I am reevaluating my training, and nutrition.  My problem has been inconsistency.  Also I believe too much speed work, without enough aerobic base, although I ran approximately 30 to 40 miles a week all winter. I suffered a knee injury right before I began anaerobic training which had me out for 2 weeks (chondromalacia).  This re-occurring problem is currently in remission due to a painstaking regimen of ice, advil, and stretching.  This first year back to running since high school is sort of an experiment for me in terms of what works and what doesn't work with my training, but I am committed to improvement every step of the way.  I just know I have what it takes to break 20 minutes one day.

HOT out. R lateral quad sore.  Just an annoyance, not an injury.  Stretched and cold bath afterwards.

Legs starting to finally loosen up a little.  Starting to wish I opted for the triathlon configuration, because I also biked a total of 20 miles.  I don't own a vehicle at the moment and my bike is my only form of transportation, so I log a lot of slow miles that way too.

6x800 at race pace (3:40) with a 200 meter recovery jog in between each.  Calves slightly tight. Hit all my times correctly, but damn, shouldn't have eaten those buffalo chicken hot-wing stuffed shells pre-workout.  Why I never learn from this fatal dietary mistake, I really couldn't tell ya.
