Have been getting a crucial ache in my knee (ITB, maybe plantaris), calf, Achilles, heel and top of my foot just before the third and fourth toes. There's a dirty trigger point (or 12) in there somewhere. I haven't had an ache like this in a while so I'm gonna get to the gym early tonight and do a shit ton of SMR and stretching and shit.

Plan for tomorrow is to walk a whole lot with my dad (he's doing a 60 mile hike over 4 days for his 60th birthday, I'm joining for day 3), so it would be nice to be free of lingering leg pain before I get into that.

damn your dad is beast.. sounds fun, hope you're health for it.

Been spending pretty much all the free time I have getting ready for my trumpet scholarship auditions next Saturday. May not be able to update journal this week again. This past week looked pretty much the same as the week before except Friday was a pre-meet workout. Super light. A few accelerations and top speed stuff... and done. Meet yesterday. Not much to say, here are my times:

60m Hurdles: 9.47 sec: Indoor  (19th of 39)

nice!!

60m Dash: 7.8  (43rd out of 102... or something like that)

200m: 24.74  (44th out of 103)


Woke at at 5 am. No sleep until after events were done. Taught that body tries to go back into sleep mode and doesn't become fully stimulated, so no sleep for me on the drive to the Utah Olympic Oval.

Food night before: beef and veggie burrito. Quinoa and chicken. 2 bananas. Tortilla. Plenty of water.

Food day of: Bowl of shredded wheat. Banana. Cup of green tea.

Food during meet: Orange. Apple. 1 1/2 pb and honey sandwiches.

i'd minimize fat intake DURING the meet, or even a few hours before.. digesting fat is a pretty big process, that can really slow you down.. keep it to carb + protein with a minimal amount of fat.. i guess it depends on how much PB you put on the sandwich though, 1 pb sandwich for me would be ~6 tablespoons of peanutbutter easily.. that's a ton of fat.. if it's just like 1-2 tbspn then that's not bad.

Felt MUCH more energized and fired up this time around. Felt wide awake and ready during the hurdles. Even though it's an indoor PR, I think I can be much faster if I have some more time to practice over hurdles. First out of the blocks on my hurdle race. 1st place in my heat. Recording looked like my start was good, but acceleration was poor. Gotta work more on that.

My placing seems mediocre and almost demoralizing to me, but I remind myself that most of the guys there are from 5A schools (I'm in 4A) or track clubs that train year round. In reality I'm only mediocre in the fastest group of high schoolers in the state. Haha

I'll try to make some time to keep journal updated this week. Progress needs logging.

keep it up though man, you can place alot better just stay focused & keep busting ass.

Look at these goddamn bodies mang
