11/11/03-- rest
The last few days I have had a sore groin, it has been sore the last 5 months actually but this past few days it got bad so I decided to rest it a lot.
11/12/03-- stair climber, upper body lift, plyos. This was easy on the groin and was also a good workout on a rainy day.
11/13/03-- rest
11/14/03-- good warm up and stretch, then 1x250. I ran the 250 in sweats and flats but ran 29.7. I was happy with that because I hadn’t ran a timed 250 in a while. In my best season I ran a 26.4 in the 250, that was in shorts and spikes with teammates. I’d like to get back to that level but we will see. This Wednesday, 11/19 I will be running another 250 in competition.
11/19/03-- raced state and city college athletes in the 250 meters of the sprint medley. We won. I ran last leg, got the baton in lane one and was in about 3rd place. I made up the stagger quickly. My first 50 was fast. Then I chilled around the first part of the turn, then with 150 to go, I just opened the gap. We ended up winning by 1.2 seconds. I was impressed with the race. I hadn’t opened my legs up all that much yet this training season so it was good to be able to do so.
Next we did a parlaf relay which consisted of 5 people running 5 200’s. That was a good workout. The last two were fast.
11/20/03-- played a game that is like lacrosse without the sticks and with a bigger ball. I played it with my class at the junior college. It is very good speed endurance work. Everyone is tired and they don’t realize it until the game is done.
Full body lift.
11/22/03-- 6x stadiums(3 with vest, 3 w/o) 3x50 (3min r/r)
6x stadiums(3 with vest, 3 w/o) 3x50 (3min r/r)

11/23/03-- 1 mile warmup, tempo- 15x100, core work
It is starting to get close to competition phase. I am itching for a race after a long training period.
11/25/03-- 8 x 30 flying with 45 seconds r/r then 3 minutes rest
8 x 30 flying
all were done with about a 15 meter run up. I only timed the final 2 and they were 2.91 and 2.95. They weren’t blazing, but it was a very good workout.
