Mon 1/28: Off. Missed the long run b/c I pulled an all nighter and had to do sets... extensions are bad. =/
Tue 1/29: 8, 12, 16, 12, 8 ladder. 2:50, 4:23, 5:44, 4:18, 2:48. Lap splits 83, 87; 88, 88, 87; 85, 85, 88, 86; 86, 86, 86; 84, 84. Scott wanted me to go straight 85s... but that didn't happen. I don't understand how the 1600 was faster than the 1200s. I guess my legs just felt heavy. The 1600 was good though. Skipped the bonus lap at the end b/c my hamstring tendon was feeling a bit tender. 7mi.
Wed 1/30: Lacy long way plus 3 laps in Lacy. 5.5mi. Ran by myself since I was really tired, team did Garfield long way plus 1 lap.
Thu 1/31: (4 on, 2 off) * 5. ~3:02, 2:56, 2:54, 2:54, 2:46 per lap, ran w/ Scott (and Alan at end). 7.5mi. Actually surprised myself at how much faster I was able to go. Outside of L quad especially sore for some reason. Outside of L knee had mild sharp pain after the workout, especially going up the stairs. Andre said it was something to do w/ my meniscus... hopefully it'll be ok.
Fri 2/1: Missed practice today b/c of sets... again. OMG why am I so bad at this. Scott's probably really disappointed in me, but even more, I'm really disappointed in myself. It's probably hard to believe since I'm so slow now, but there are few things in life I care more about than running.
PM: DDR! I was kind of dumb and decided to play hard songs without warming up properly. Hamstring tendon a tiny bit tender again, but it wasn't too bad. Played a ton of really hard stuff (and beat Monolith on c450)! Every time I was like let's do something easy... and then picked an 11 like tears in may ;P.
Sat 2/2: Off
Sun 2/3: 2mi (around campus + a bit more) w/ Carrie, Dan, Sarai, and Jenny.
Total: 22mi + DDR.
25mi equiv.

Busybusy procrastinate some more
Mon 1/21: Lower Arroyo backwards! 7.8mi. The team apparently met at 3:30pm and did water tower... so Elliot and I just ran together. Will ran with us for like the last 1.5mi!
First ice bath of the season! I'm so happy I can finally do long runs!
PM: ~1mi with shopping cart ;P.
Tue 1/22: 6x800m every 6 with the girls. 2:52, 2:51, 2:53, 2:53, 2:50, 2:51. Super consistent! My 400 splits were all between 85 and 87 except when Stan made me go out at 83 on the 5th one. We kind of screwed up Steph's workout again, though =/. 6.4mi.
Wed 1/23: To crazy tree and back w/ Juan. 5.4mi. Didn't run whole b/c quads sore from yesterday. This is awesome. I have sore muscles, and my tendinitises aren't super flared up! I think this means I can actually get stronger? Yes?
Post-workout $10 all you can eat KBBQ! ;P
Thu 1/24: Jogged in Lacy while team did 8, 6, 4. 7.5 laps in ~29min, came back long way. 7.5mi.
Shins were hurting a bit during warmup.
Post-workout 2 steaks and then Din Tai Fung! ;P
Fri 1/25: San Gabriel, 4.3mi. Team ran Tu Madre, ran w/ twins and Ane but they dropped b/c I was in a rush to make chamber rehearsal.
PM: Mount Wilson night! It's a lot different organizing it than being in it... still had a lot of fun though! and was really active!
Sat 1/26: Off. Chamber music weekend #1!
Sun 1/27: PM: DDR! Passed Delirium again. Tried Power Rangers a few times and failed =/. I really don't have enough speed for streams above 180 (though I could kinda do the 180 streams at the end of Nico Nico Douga).
Total: 32.4mi + DDR.
36mi equiv.

So Lazy
Mon 1/14: Orange Grove. 6.7mi. Team did lower but not ready yet... =/.
Hamstring tendon hurts a bit. Sad. Think I did a little more than I should've...
Tue 1/15: 7x400. 80, 82, 78, 78, 76, 74, 75. Took it a bit easy and jogged between. I blame lack of consistency on Stan. We were injured / didn't want to get injured so we went every 3 min w/ the girls. We kind of screwed up Steph's work out though.
To Allen WU/CD. 5.6mi.
Hamstring tendon still hurts a bit. Sigh. Maybe should've taken it even easier...
Wed 1/16: Team went Huntingson, Alex and I turned back early (at 19 min). 4.8mi, 40min.
Thu 1/17: Team did 16 striders at Lacy. Jogged around several times w/ Trisha. 5.5mi.
Fri 1/18: Garfield and back, again. 4.8mi. Shins were hurting pretty bad.
PM: DDR! Finally passed Delirium again! Yay starting to get into decent ddr shape.
Sat 1/19: Lazy. 5+ hrs of karaoke and tons of azn food! ;P
Sun 1/20: PM: Once around Caltech with Carrie, John, Sarai, and Dan. 1.5mi, 19min.
Total: 28.9mi + DDR.
32mi equivalent.

Starting Anew
Welcome to track season 2013! In case you didn't know, my running career in the last year has been defined by injuries. Currently, I'm attempting to pretend they don't exist. Hopefully a 2.5 month break since the end of XC was enough to make my body runable.
Sun 1/6: Track team meeting. We have a new track coach! I wonder how this is going to be.
Coach calls out if we want lockers. Michael says yes.
PM: DDR!
Mon 1/7: Lacy long way up stairs. 3.5mi, 30min. 10min bike.
Slight R knee pain.
Roll call every day? Ohh gosh this is gonna suck.
Tues 1/8: To Garfield and back. 4.8mi, 38min. We have a new distance runner, Lew!
Slight R knee pain and slight inner L hamstring tendon pain (THE XC injury...).
Coach calling out if we want lockers.
"Michael" "Wait, Michael Zhang?" "Yes." "Didn't you already ask me at the meeting?" "Well somebody's got an attitude problem."
Wed 1/9: To San Gabriel. 4.2mi, 35min. 5min bike. Went really slowly. Slight innter L hamstring tendon pain. I can feel it. This is exactly how the beginning of tendinitis feels. It's happened way too many times for me.
"I wouldn't take you to meets anyway since you're a partier?" "Wait, what does partying have to do with track?" "You're kidding, right?" "You know parties at Caltech are a lot different than what you're thinking. We operate them differently than at other schools. I can explain it to you if you want. Do you want me to?" "No." (Go away)
I'm not trolling the new coach, I swear!
Michael looks at the the roster. Next to him name, under the locker column: blank. Gosh darn it, after him asking me if I want a locker twice, he still hasn't checked the box.
Thu 1/10:
AM: Lacy long way + 1 lap from Page. 4.6mi, 37min. Apparently Andy and Elliot were behind me for a large portion of the run. SKI TRIP!
Fri 1/11: Off, was going to ski but too lazy / tired / sleepy.
Sat 1/12: Awesome day of skiing w/ Pien, Elliot, and Jean! Double black w/ Elliot = so much quad death...
We found a ski racing area! PR: 22.61! (I think that's decently good.) Elliot was close! excited for next year.
Sun 1/13:
PM: DDR! Carrie's back!
Total: 17.1mi + 15min + DDRx2 + 6hr skiing.
29.5mi equivalent.
