Menacing methods. Label me a lethal weapon.

Exercise Type: Run

Longest run in a while. 5 miles with Phil, down to Veale, 8.5 with CKells and Corey. Had to wait a little at Veale for Corey, so there was a fairly significant break in my run (like 40 minutes or so). I felt like I could have gone 15.5, but I didn't wanna push it especially with the workout tomorrow.

Saw Stephen in the first part of my run, he was running with some other dude who appeared to be from Duquesne. He said he wasn't sure if he'd be racing this weekend or not, but he definitely wouldn't be running the 3k because its the first event and he has stuff to do for work. That means the 3k is wide open.

Speaking of fast people, most teams in the UAA opened up this past weekend. It seems like NYU will be the team to beat in the DMR with Turlip and Zitek. Brandeis has 4 guys in the mile between 4:17-4:18. The 3k looks solid as usual with more people likely to emerge. Basically, its everything I expected and more. We'll see how I stack up in a week, but let's just say I have a good feeling about it.

There are points, medals, podium spots, and pride on the line at that Conference meet. I look at where I was the last time I ran it, and I was in no shape to do anything. This season, it seems a lot different, and I hope it will be. Every time I step out there, I need to have the mentality that I'm the most dangerous runner on that track. That killer instinct, the weapon mentality, its what wins races.
