COMMENTS:
General: That was the hardest running workout I've ever done. When I finished I was laying in the grass and hallucinated the lights that illuminate the football field falling next to me. Needless to say the intensity was there. My throat was making a clicking noise the last five minutes too. Not sure what that was about.
Nutrition: Good, ate a shit load of almonds though and now I'm out -__-
Body: Feel good, elbows have been nagging bad though
Sleep: 9 hours
Reflections: Nothing

Rest Day
No training
COMMENTS:
General: Sore core, and want the legs 100% for tomorrow led to this. If I was more creative or could use my upper body I would've worked out.
Nutrition: Good
Body: Solid, ankles still kind of sore
Sleep: 9.5-10 hrs
Reflections: Nada, get it tomorrow

Tabata, You're my bitch
Tabata Intervals with 20# Vest, Totals added up for all 8 rounds
Walking Lunges: 105
Situps: 99
4 Count Flutter kicks (had to do all 4 or it didn't count towards anything): 45
Squats: 125
COMMENTS:
General: Solid workout. The intensity got really high with the squats, and my body is certainly no longer as adjusted to being that high of levels as it used to be. I was pleased with my recovery from yesterday and how I felt good to work out today. My yoga muscle was the only limiting factor during the squats but it loosened up quick.
Nutrition: Good, had some cheese and some breading on my pork at dinner.
Body: Minus the elbows everything is good. My ankles are sore as balls, calves are tight but other than that I was good to go today. Could've ran if I wanted to.
Sleep: 10.5-11 hours of medicated baby sleep(haha). Haven't slept that deep in a long time.
Reflections: Might rest tomorrow if my legs are toasted. I need to start foam rolling more because I think it will help with my knee if I loosen up all the muscles around it.

Longest Run For Awhile
Long run at Riverlin St trails, mixed terrain @6am. Lots of single track, wide trails, powerline trails, some hills and the last 10-15 minutes were on pavement.
2:33.42. Complete estimation of 12-15 miles (12:45 to 10:12 mile pace)*Based on pace I felt my body was moving at, nothing else.
COMMENTS:
General: I was so pleased with this run. This was my first time running sleep deprived (6 hours of sleep maximum) and also my first time going this early in over a year. Regardless I did phenomenal and there was never a low point during the run. I used 3 goos throughout. The hammer gels we got are great and might be my go-to from now on. Hydration was good too. Although it means nothing I would bet that I had another hour in me without any water or food at the position we finished at. I sprinted the last half mile and had a lot left in the tank. The new shoes felt great too and I noticed such an improvement in my mechanics and focus that I know they were worth every penny. I think the most positive part was there was never a point where any injuries nagged (i.e. knees, achilles).
Nutrition: Good, had some pumpkin pancakes post WOD but otherwise strict.
Body: Yoga muscle is really tight from the run. Both knees are a little creaky now. Left ankle got swollen after but it doesn't hurt at all. Not that fatigued but my body in general could use a good night's sleep.
Sleep: 6 hours or so
Reflections: I think today was a big step in proving I could be good to go on January 9. Even if I have to walk a good amount I think that if I do a couple more long runs I will have the ability to get there. You could say that my runner's high still hasn't worn off after 10 hours. I'm going home next weekend to go hopefully over 3 hours with Contois.

Long Run
1 hour Run on SC Complex, 14 laps completed (~7 miles) in 1:01.02
COMMENTS:
General: Felt pretty good today. I had some major highs and lows during the run. Had to stop about 33 minutes in to use the bathroom, but I stopped the clock and picked up. I drank out of the sink in the bathroom because I was really thirsty, and it seemed to give me a pick up for the last half. Achilles never hurt, but my calves are going to be sore as a mother tomorrow.
Nutrition: Good. I need to find a way to solve my problem with eating so late in the afternoon that I'm never hungry for dinner before 7ish, which is when I need to eat by because the dining hall closes. Wasn't really sure what to eat post WOD since I was trying to eat strict, but I did have some chili with beans.
Body: Headaches still. Elbows are hurting less but still a good amount. Otherwise solid.
Sleep: 9 hours
Reflections: I think I need to stop typing the way I have been. I know that sounds weird, but my elbows seem to hurt when I type for a long time or use my laptop a lot. I think laying in my bed with it on me alleviates some of the tension that using it at my desk brings to the nerve.

Box Jumps, Core
100 Box jumps, 20 in box for time:
5:20
50 Leg Levers for time:
2:48
Tabata leg Lifts 2 min after
1 hour walk in the PM
COMMENTS:
General: Pretty good today I guess. Just working with what I have. Decided that I might be running my first 50k 2 months from this very day instead of all the way in March, and might contact the race directors to see if I can do the 50miler in March instead. It'll take a lot of training quick to succeed but I'm ready for a challenge while my elbows heal.
Nutrition: Good, I'd say like 95% strict
Body: Knee hurt today until I walked, guessing it was from the box jumps.
Sleep: 9 hours
Reflections: I got kind of stressed today deciding if I wanted to do the 50k. I realized that it's a Fat ass race so the worst thing that can happen is I stop and no one even realizes it and no time is ever recorded, so it's not a big deal. I'm just scared about getting re-injured again after I just spent 3 weeks shelved and I'm not sure if I can safely reach that level of training between now and then. On a positive note, I think it's a good move because even if I don't do the 50miler in March, I'll still definitely PR if I am successful in the GAC one in January, because it's a lot flatter. I also decided that I want to transfer to Worcester State today, or that it is at least my #1 at this time. So it's been a long day with the brain, but hopefully some sleep tonight will help.
