I felt kind of tired and rundown again today, I had a rough night's sleep last night and woke up 3-4 times during the night. I never didn't feel rested at all today even though I went down for a 20 minute nap before supper. On the plus side I did finish a huge paper for one of my classes which was weighing heavy on my mind the last couple weeks, it feels really good to get that off my plate. I'm going to try to get a full nights sleep today and wake up feeling better than ever.

I found I didn't have much energy today, it seems to have carried over from last night. I did my workout in the morning and was going to do some more mobility in the evening but I was pretty sleepy and decided that I could use the rest instead. Besides that's not what's going to take me to the next level, what will though is focusing on getting faster, technically more proficient and more powerful.

Today was disappointing at best, I'm not exactly sure what happened but for some reason I was running 0.1s slower than Thursday over 25m... the only consolation was nobody did well today and poor times seemed to be common all around. This was by FAR the slowest I have ran all season, I felt good though... that's what seems so odd.
Again my knee was a limiting factor and I had to cut things short. I'm going to cut out all bounding and depth jumps this week or until it heals--it's times to get rid of this tendinitis once and for all, no more messing around.

Today was pretty light, just did some visualization and then stretched for quite a while. I'm feeling pretty good everywhere except for in my left knee, I jut want it to heal so I can start some jumping--running doesn't hurt but the integrity of the capsule is not so great that I would want to try to jump on it.

Well today wasn't too bad, I set a season's best 25m time and it looks like the curve is heading upwards so hopefully I continue to set sb's, pb and get under 2.70s. I physically didn't feel any better today than I have in reason times but I was focused which made all the difference. I really tried to stay low and relax while in the drive phase. I also tried to loosen up my hip flexors before practice and I felt like my gait was opened up a bit more than usual.

Today was kind of weird, I felt pretty good physically all day but I had a bit of a headache and felt pretty tired. I think it was because I didn't sleep well last night. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make it up tonight!
I felt the best I did all day this afternoon during my first workout but during my second in the evening my blood sugar dropped and I had to cut it short, I mistimed my meals and didn't eat enough after my first workout. I ate supper and went straight back to the Dalplex so I guess the carbs didn't have time to breakdown yet. I have been doing pretty well diet well recently so this is a nice reminder of how I need to remain diligent at all times--where I'm hypoglycemic I can't get away with as much as most people.
