Throw in an ice cream cone here and there and you're good to go.

re: kona dude

Thanks.

Yeah, I honestly do need to watch my sugar levels. I'm at my old high school about to do speed work. It's a dirt track and the markers aren't clear to me. Man I wish I did track in hs along with Glee club. I would've been better than Shalane by now ;) Actually, if I were to pick an olympic event to train hardcore for it would be sand volleyball. My body could do that for the next decade and I have the height. My bum would look amazing. My asthma is getting better. I'm doing my miles without an inhaler now. Maybe it will go away as I train more.

Don't laugh! This is LR. Where all your dreams become reality, duh. I would get a good coach and train hard for the next 6 yrs. I'd even remove my boobies. Wouldn't want the ball to pop one of em.

Strained my right hamstring. I did 6 200m as fast as I could go but then it hurt. Did I not stretch enough before? Should I stretch it often today to recover by tonight's workout?

Even if I do half of my ambitious training plan this week, that's a heck of a lot considering I was running 4-6 miles total/week previously. So I should be proud of that and eventually I'll get there. The track coach was watching me run so i couldn't have been that slow for my sprints. I don't have a stopwatch to time myself. Got to get one.

My form:

The first few 200s I felt pressure in my lower back. I focused on keeping my core tucked, my head level, and my arms and shoulders relaxed.

I'm telling the truth dude. I feel dizzy now. Need a protein shake.

re: Iwantthelittleforkbecausei...

For breakfast I like to have coffee, oatmeal, and a banana. I've decided not to have my protein berry shake before my run because I have to go poop in the middle of my run. I'm not getting in enough carbs before so I'm going to double portion my oatmeal- it's a small serving

I disagree with you about upgrading my oatmeal portion. I have been only having one of those little oatmeal packets. I know my body. I get dizzy when I don't consume enough carbs.
