AM- 6 w/ 3x1min 4x30 sec. hills.  I felt like junk today.  I knew I wasn't going to be at my best today when I started out and my legs felt heavy.  The one min. I did great on, but the 330 seconders I struggled.  I was going just as fast on them (except the last) but I just wasn't feeling my best.  It was weird because yesterday I felt effortless and today blah.  But I'm being positive...I still was pretty solid even though I let Mike get away on the 30 seconders.  I noticed something today.  when the going gets tough or someone passes me (particularly mike) I tell myself crap your not going fast enough and kinda freak out inside.  So, next hill workout I'm just going to stay calm and catch up.  But it wasn't that bad for the first workout of the season!

PM-3 with mike.  He convinced me that running 10 min after I ate wouldn't be that bad, because it was only three miles....life lesson: don't listen to michael! haha Yeah I took care of myself after the workout this morning so everything felt great, except my stumache.  I felt good though.  I need to make sure to keep my stride quick, because I noticed I tend to have a long, slow stride.

Just stay calm and do the best Casey can do. Really YOU are a great runner and a great guy. We need (and you need) you to just be you and do the best you can each given day. And that is the best I (and you) could ever ask for.

Thanks coach. That's what I tried to do today. Stay positive and calm...I mean it was close to the best I could do today.
