I am finally over my sickness, not that it lasted very long. Today was a good day for me. I got a nice nap in for the first time in a while and headed over to the field house at 4:15 for a tempo run. When we got there Etters yelled at the team because only four guys had their reflector vests. He said that after the run we would have to do core as punishment. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. We warmed up two miles, stretched, and got right into it. Flach and Evans took off fast and Sample and I held tight. When we got to the water street light we already had a 75 meter gap on the rest of the team. We made it through the intersection and the rest of the guys did not, so we were alone for the remainder of the run. We kept pushing the pace all the way to the high school, and slowed down when we hit RIDICULOUS wind on the downhill. I was laboring to keep up with the guys, but not too much. I was still quite relaxed and had room in the tank to throw in surges when we would separate. I had to stop at 25 minutes while the other three had 30, so I jogged alone until they turned around and met me. Then we turned back and jogged to meet up with the other guys. God they were far back they must have been waiting at that light for a while. We ran back to the school and I did the last mile of the day on the track with Evans, Ty, and Russ. Nick and Knouse joined us for the last couple laps. The core session consisted of 10 pushups and 20 situps for every guy who didnt have his vest, totalling 100 pushups and 200 situps. I cruised through these. I have become a beast at pushups, and I finished over a minute ahead of anyone else. Sam was second. Our pushup workouts are clearly paying off. We got our bone on afterwards. The atomic burger was incredible.
