Weak game...

So, i've had this thing for about 3 days and i've already realized... im bringing weak game. my daily updating has already turned into tri-weekly. not so smooth. everyone knows chick dig guys with sweet blogging skillzzz.

so anyways... back to Wednesday. Wednesdays is our weekly recovery day, just a good easy run to make the body feel good. no set distance or time.. just whatever you need to keep up with yuor weekly mileage. since my weekly mileage has been about 0 for the past month, i opped out and just took a twirl on the village bicycle. literally, i went on the Chace village exorcise bike like i do everyday. In the am i went for a solid hour at a pretty good clip, got in about 22 miles. after then when home vegged out for a while and hit up the tutoring center. in the evening i came back and got in another 30 minutes this time doing about 9 miles. then got in a good core workout for about 40 minutes. M-W-F are my hard core (haha... hardcore.. get it.. yeah, i guess its not really funny) days, the rest of the week is usually easer at 20-30 minutes.
so...
AM: bike 1 hour-22 miles
PM: bike 30 minutes - 9 mile
core 40 minutes


On to Thursday... this Thursday was kinda special. the first day we were allowed to lace up the spikes in practice. the guys had a killer work out 5x300 at 45 with 1 minute rest, fallowed by 6 minutes rest and a 1200 in 70-65-60 for the three quarters. another 6 minutes rest and finishing up with another 5x300, this time is 42 with the spikes on. would have been a sweet work out, but since im just coming back i had an easy work out. mine went as fallows. 20 mintue warn up. stretch, drills and whatnot... fallowed by another 20 mintues slightly elevated. jumped on the track to do 2 miles of sprint the strait jog the turn. and i use sprint loosely cause i was only going 15-16ish. then a 20 minute cool down. so i got a good 1:15 or so of running in, which is'nt to shabby for me right now. after that i went back home.. ate mad tuna and shitted around on runnerspace for a while. runnerspace is a new facebook meets letsrun kinda website my coach is putting together. hes spent a ridiculous amount of time on this site... its gonna be huge. and for my boys back in Albany HUUUUGGGEEEE--aaaaaa! later in the day i went over to the fitness center, jumped on the bike for 30 minutes and banged out another 20 minutes of abs. not to shabby of a day
AM: running 1:15 - 10ish miles
PM: bike 30 minutes - 9miles
core 20 minutes

Am i sposta have a clever title...?

So.. where to start. If your reading this, theres about a 99.99% chance you know me. But if your that .01... heres the lowdown. My name is Gered Burns, i run well, but do my typing and grammar not so good. I've spent my entire life in the little upstate new York wonderland known as Awl-buh-nee. I moved out Eugene Oregon about two months ago to run, train and hopefully make a US national team. Thats about it... i basically created this thing cause there is nothing to do out here but train your ass off. This is pretty much gonna be a running log/ random bullshit that flows outa my noggin.

Tuesday, November 6th...
-Kinda been a big day, coach actually let me do part of a work out today. for those of you who aren't up to speed, i rolled my ankle about a month ago and thoroughly retardafide my achilles. So back to todays work out. pretty easy day for everybody 7x800 at 2:35 on the amazon trail fallowed by 4x200 on the track. Coach only let me do four 8's cause it was my first day back. so

my workout went as such...
-20 minute warm up
-4x800 2:34, 2:32, 2:32, 2:32. two min jog inbetween
-20 minute cool down
-back over to the fitness center for 60 minutes on the bike
-35 minutes of core/abs/pushups
-cookies.....

On tap for the rest of my exciting day includes the fallowing. Rushing back to the apartment so ic an jump in the shower and use up all the hot water before my roommate gets back. we have the worlds smallest water heater. i swear. i will then proceed to spend the next 6 hours doing absolutely nothing.. literally nothing. i will not get a single productive thing done in the next 6 hours. after that... is the money shot... BURGER AND A BREW. Tuesdays are really my favorite day of the week. theres this bar here, and on Tuesdays you get this beast of a burger and a pint of and brew on tap.. all for 6 bucks. 6BUCKS! this things got three cheese, bacon, grilled onions and mushrooms, guacamole, tomato, lettuce, mayo, bbq... everything! after eating this fine meal ill throw back another brew or two and head to work. I work as a tutor at UofO... so basically i do nothing, and get paid. its a nice hookup.

Aight... these things are always gonna be this long. im just bored and.. yeah...
