3rd Day of Training

3rd "Training" RUN -- w/ my roommate

• Day Count:  32 days until race day
• Mile Count:  3.71; Also did some hill sprints, on gravel and grass
• Time Count:  7:24 average per mile pace, roomie kicked my butt and kept me moving
• Puke Count:  Once, not much food in system
• Body: Hot in the sun and hilly at times; ran 3.71 and then walked the rest of the way home --feeling a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck while running and think it's because my posture and form is incorrect
• Mind:  Concerned that I won't figure out the Chi Running form and breathing before the race

**Going to try wearing a mouth guard while running in order to simulate the altitude change.  Tip I got from a MMA fighter/LA Boxing instructor.  He said the mouth guard will force my lungs to adapt to interrupted breathing which will help when running at altitude in Oregon.

Room for Improvement

• Keep up the diet; increased protein, fruits and veggies
• Limit amount of wine and other alcohol
• STRETCH, STRETCH, STRETCH!!!
• Figure out what's going on with neck and shoulder tension, head feels like 35lbs
