The cold is hitting the dirty south, and it’s taking a toll on my body.

Yea Its bad. I had to change my workout time yesterday to wait for more sun. I dont know what ima do tomorrow. have to run with sweats on the whole time.

HAd a spec end day planned. That changed as the temp dropped. Cold weather and sore achilles dont mix. I warmed up and did about 5x10m bs and packed it up. The swirling wind and cold air influenced my decision.

6x150. Man these was some slow 150’s. one more fast workout then I can get some much needed therapy.

When will you start competing?

I had planned to start this past saturday but I had to go out of town. There is a meet in gainsville on this sunday but if I cant find anyone to role with me to split the costs I will not be going. So it looks like my first meet wil be in February.

RACE, can’t be that much to travel to UF…

I did a speed end day.
2x30 bs 2x60 bs 2x80 stand

It was a decent day. legs were a pretty beat up. I was able to get under 4 in the 30 and 6.90 in a 60. I feel like I can go much faster but I need some therapy. Legs are super tight. I got a massage the next day.

I didnt hit the weights because I was beat.

Well I just drove 4 hours up to see my grandparents. Just got back. Had to give my sister some cash. Gotta pay mortgage soon. Gville is a good 5 hours from me. Dont like putting all those miles on the car week after week.

Get hood with it, take greyhound…:slight_smile:
