PM: 3 miles v + e trail ran out on the trail. felt a little sluggish in the beginning. got crapped on by a bird at my turnaround. felt really tired in last 5 minutes of run - think the culmination of the school year is physically draining me. massive headache in the evening.

PM: 3 miles v + e trail ran after school - it was a hot day, but the run wasn't that bad. got out 12 minutes and then got a huge/painful stitch in a muscle on my left side up by my heart. stopped and walked it out for a minute or two, then turned around. felt pretty good - no leg pain. am out of shape aerobically already (not that i really had much beforehand)
Saturday May 17th, 2008: 4.5 miles
AM: 2 miles (15 min) (7:30/pace) v + e trail ran on the trail around 12:15. gorgeous memphis day - windy, no clouds, warm. so far this spring it has been a rarity to not have a super nice day like today.
PM: 2.5 miles swimming went over to the rhodes pool with karl about 30 minutes after my run. i was nervous hopping in the pool again, but was determined to swim more than i did last week. started off with an easy 100 (which was twice as much as i could do in any rep last time i went swimming), then took a break, did another 100, break, 50, break, 100. did 2x100 with 30s in between, and then a 50. i was at 600 and took a bigger break. at this point i realized swimming 100 in one shot wasn't really that hard. i was good at three stroking and alternating what side i was breathing on. quickly remembered to breath out when i was under water, and realized turning directly to the side allowed me to get in more air. i decided to do 4x100 with 30s after 1, 45s after 2, and 1:00 after the third. didn't get the split from 600-700, but my next 3 were 2:25, 2:17, and 2:21. decided to take 1 minute rest when i got to 1000m total, then swam a 2:18 100m, then 15s, then 2:18 to close out the 1200m of swimming. felt really proud of myself the way i swam the last 600. got in a nice rhythm and basically figured out how to go a pace i could maintain and feel good about. finished right when karl finished - he did 2200. total was about 25 - 28 minutes of swimming and i was in the pool for about 45-50 minutes.

PM: 2.5 miles v + e trail ran before the TFA alumni induction at night. was raining a bit before i went - met gilson out on the trail and turned around at maybe 12 minutes or so. was really sweaty and just dead tired immediately after the run - don't really know what it was.
Tuesday May 13th, 2008: 2 miles
AM: 0 miles (15 min) (7:30/pace) building up i need to be careful working back into running. i think it was the 7 miler i did on 4/24 that sent me over the edge a little bit. going to try to work the everyother day approach for a little.
PM: 2 miles v + e trail ran on the trail from my house. felt pretty good throughout. wore black headband.
