Update with 2 weeks until the 13.1.

10/31 - Quick 5 mile. I ran on an entertaining road called Taiyuan Road. 你們知道台中的太原路嗎?My legs felt a little heavy through the first mile but after that I started flying. Average pace was 6'37" per mile. Total was 5.11 miles in 33'48". I like this road because there are constant obstacles that really force me to focus on my stride and foot placement. There's also great scenery.

11/1 - After class I decided to run a few 400's. I went to the track and ran 5- 400's at 1500m pace with a nice resting 400 in between each. Total was 2.53 miles in 16'15".

11/2 - Lauren wanted to run tonight to prepare for her first 5k coming up on 12/31. I won't lie, I was expecting a nice breezy slow jog for a mile point five. Lauren kept going, and on a nice pace too. We ran 2.24 miles in 17'54" with a pace of 7'57" per mile.

11/3 - After my two midterms, I put on my shoes and wanted to run some sprints. I asked my buddy from Paraguay to take a break from studying from his midterms to time me. I'm running the 1500, 400, and 200 next Saturday at my schools 50th Anniversary. Sometimes I hate the track. I don't know what it is, but people think they can walk in the fast lane. Many people are walking on the left side in jeans and sandals, just chatting with their friends. I finally found a gap so I could run a 200m at full. My first went great, but halfway through number two, some idiot walked right in front of me without looking and we collided hard. I said some things I shouldn't have. My chest hurt after that so I went home.

Tomorrow, I'm heading to Miaoli to run a 13.1+ on the course for my 11/19 Miaoli Half-Marathon.
