"Recovery" distance run at 6:50 average pace. Jamie prolly wanted us a little slower but whatevs. We went on the bike path trail rail road path thingy, none of us really know what it's called. We ran just passed the chasm and then back. It felt really good. Probably some kind of speed tomorrow. Thank you to Kneaders for sponsoring our run today. "There are no shortcuts on the extra mile" Go into Kneaders and get the 5 dollar all you can eat French toast it's awesome. After our run we went into the fitness center to do #MaxoutMonday and we were almost done. I had maxed out at 105, tying my PR. Matt was attempting 165 I think, something around there. He tried it once before and didn't make it. This time he was half way up or so, SUPER close to making it all the way up. His left arm was not as high as his other arm and we didn't have clamps on the end so the weights fell off the side. Ted freaking Taylor, the idiot Spanish teacher (please excuse my vulgor terms) who thinks he's hawt stuff and that he can boss us around when he has no authority, came over and proceeded to tell us that we were "jerking off" whatever that means, that we had no idea how to lift, that we were a danger to ourselves, and that Matt, Zach, me and Thomas could have all been seriously injured, when in fact Thomas and I were standing far enough away to be out of harms way. We were spotting each other and Zach was about to grab the bar. So he over reacted hard core. After all the bs, he kicked us out and said we can't lift in there anymore without a coach. I already thought he was a cocky piece of crap but now my hatred has increased. So yea idk how much lifting I'll be doing now, we'll see.

This week is gonna be sick, I'm planning on doing the 1600, 800, and 3200 at the Distance Challenge this Friday. If I am super tired after one of the first two i'll back out, but if I can survive all three than why not #YOLO!!!!!
