Sorry for being lazy and not putting in my work outs and keeping up on my training logs..... I have still been running but just things have been getting harder and I have had to focus on my important things.  


The last couple weeks of my training have been improving pretty good!
A lot of 400's and latter work outs, also long distancing running in between the work outs.

Last Saturday I ran with this great runner Ronnie Buchanan and we did a type of 5k(in goodyear) time attack of where we wanted to run Sub 15:30, and crush it we did! But we accidently turned around on a part of the course where there was no signs or people to guide us which would have saved us from turning around early. 
How did I feel during the race? Well I didn't feel very comfortable actually, the first mile was pretty good but I started to feel the hurting coming along around 1 & a half but mentally I was strong and told myself I can stick out this pace. I was also able to kick it in but since I wasn't going to finish the race I wasn't able to really push it hard at the end. Poor Ronnie got disqualified from the race even though I feel it was the race directors fault on there end. Over all it was a great training day and gives us a good idea of what we can handle. 


TIME: 15:15 5k./ I think I was a bit faster but hey, I'll see what I really can do on the outdoor season of track once it gets here.
I feel very lucky to have ran with Ronnie and it was my pleasure to have run with him at this race! It was also good to have had some breakfast/lunch and game planning on my future and even a little chit chat after the race! Thanks a bunch Ronnie!
I can't wait to get my car so I can be able to drive again!

What has been going on with your eating diets and what have you seem to have been improving on? 
Well I haven't been eating the best things in my diet, ex. candy, high fat bakery food. But this past week I have cut almost all of that out and have been just eating my regular shakes and normal meals without all of the bad nutrients.
Also I have Cut out my normal cereal and have replaced it with oatmeal. I think that is a great improvement for a morning meal. 

Running Improvement update: I feel like I have been able to maintain a faster pace without getting tired and feeling better during work outs, but I still have room for improvement.  I feel like my form is getting better also while my stretching has been helping me be more efficient as a runner which I am grateful for.

Key thought ideas: The better flexible you are the better your turn over will be and also helps not get injured as easily. Now I had someone say they know someone that is very flexible and doesn't run that great, please keep in mind that its a great deal of things that make you a great runner, can't just be one good thing and not work on a lot of others. For example, YOU NEED to put in the effort which includes, your mileage, your workouts, your diet, and a very important one your mentality.  If you can work on all of these things, you shouldn't have a hard time improving your skills. This reminds me a similar type of mastering ones self, which is Kung Fu, it means having to practice and master something you have passion for or want to improve on, which means mastering Kung Fu. 


TODAY'S WORK OUT:
I just ran a easy 10 miles at 7:06 pace, was so easy I was having a hard time keeping the pace over 7min :) 


TODAY'S Eating: I had oatmeal in the morning and also snaking on Quaker multigrain fiber crisps, very good and great for you! 
ALSO: I have changed my eating habits into spreading out my eating volume, I need to loose more weight and this helps you being able to keep your metabolism going and you can burn more of the fat off and the food you consume~! 


That's it for today! and I hope you keep checking it out :)
