• General: Snuck my workout in between classes today so didn't do a lot of extra stuff. Technically I'm deloading anyway so it was probably a good thing my ego couldn't take over if there was more time. I like the 50pullups program so far because it's not over-strenuous and I feel like I'm getting stronger as I continue to improve on strict form. I only ran to try out the MT101's and to see what the Millbury trails would be like for tomorrow, so it was nothing strenuous. I like the shoes a lot I just have a feeling they won't last as long as other trail shoes, similar to the minimalist road shoes I bought last year.
• Nutrition: Good. I had milk last night and plan to drink it next week while I max out for a few days. Won't have a drop of dairy 7+ days before the race to ensure no stomach problems.
• Body: Felt good coming off the rest day. The PVC pipe rolling has done wonders on my lower back. I can hear all these kinks coming out of it everytime I do it. Plan to keep doing this 2-3 a week minimum.
• Sleep: 8.5 hours
• Reflections: I've been feeling better these last few days which is a good sign. Tomorrow I'm going for a 2-3 hour run with Bryan on Millbury trails and some roads, probably on a pretty hilly course. I'll be ordering a powerlifting belt and a pair of road running shoes within the next week because I'm getting a massive check this week. 1-2 rest days after tomorrow's run, then max testing for on either Mon-Wed or just Tuesday and Wednesday. Not sure how what I'll do from next Thursday to race day just yet. Also, I haven't decided yet but I may decide to go get rowdy at Endicott tomorrow night. Not sure if I'll have the $$ to get up there but we'll see.
