Today was very busy and long day. I had to work from 8:45-2:15 and then come home and run in this heat that I am still not use to. I did a 4 miler. Since I usually do out-and-backs around my house, i got to on another big hill for extra work. I extended the run a mile, so i got to go that extra half mile down the road that got me to work even harder and get my heartrate up. The thing i love about running around my house is the fact that even if I go at an easy pace, it gets my heartrate up and gets me in shape faster. Most people complain about running on hills, but I have come to love running on hills, and have found myself going places where the hills are actually bigger and harder to get the extra effort in. Even in these short runs it helps all that much more. Nothing too particular happened on the run today, just me hitting the roads. I will say at the end of the run i was feeling it, though, because of the heat, but it won't take long before I get use to it. Gotta get more sleep, but fortunately I don't work tomorrow morning, so that won't be a problem. Off to make my fruit smoothie. Here is the quote of the week; applies to training and that whatever i do now works toward the future:
"If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it."

I will be posting my workouts day-to-day and anything that happens on the run. Our Track team did this in high school and i thought it would be a cool idea to post my runs/workouts on a blog. This is about my quest for success at the collegiate level, and hopefully stay more injury free. Feel free to ask questions or post comments about what i post. enjoy.
