Well here we go...

Harts warm and then 3x1000's. They were a bit faster than last weeks. We were supposed to hit around 4:02 so our goal for the first one was 4:10 so we could increasingly get faster but our first one was 4:03! So that plan was off to a bad start. But we were gonna try to keep that pace. Our next one was 4:05 and my last one was 3:47. We took turns leading and Mia and I led the last one. Mia kept speeding up and I figured the best thing I could do was to go with her. So it ended up being quite a but faster and harder then we intended. But was still good. Liz and I did a 1.5 mile cool down on the track while we cheered and timed for Taylor. Then weights afterward

3 this morning with the ladies. And then yoga afterwards. It was wonderful

4 trail Tuesday up at green springs. It was a really nice run, with a beeeeautiful view of..my feet! Cuz basically that's what I was looking at for 4 miles trying not to trip over all the rocks

Tempo today my favorite and my best! Ha joke. I've inly been having bad dreams about this run all week (literally). I really did try to stay positive when we started going though. I was able to keep up pretty well for 10 minutes coach said, then I fell off away. But I didn't slow a ton down til during the second loop, right after the uphill. But! I never stopped. That's sounds pretty woos-ish but these are really hard for me. The whole time is a battle for me to keep going not just to keep the pace. So I would tell myself ok you can go to the next stop sign then you can stop, but I never stopped I kept going. Prolly averaged out 7 minute pace because of my last half. So not where I wanted to be but I'll get there. Ran back with maskerem and Carli. Then some weights! Oughta feel great tomorrow 

Old man hills! Which was perfect cuz Roberts heard we were running his hills and came and joined us ;) I love running with Roberts :) we did 2x800's and they were pretty tough. First one was good and strong but we were pretty spaced out. Second one we had a good pack for the first half! I got up to the boulevard and was trying to catch up to Liz but it was hard, it was really good to have coach helping me and pushing me to the end. Had a nice run back with Liz. Man was I sore today. Must be workin hard or somethin :)

Easy 3 to arctic cat! Whoa 😳 had a really good group of girls it was so fun. We made up an awesome story about fast baby turtles stuck in a bath tub. Striders when we got back which were also good. But man are my legs so sore from this week!

Got together with Liz, Megan and Carli and went up to green springs. About a mile and a half into it we realized it was a mistake to do green springs cuz 15 minute tempo we would have to start the tempo right then going up the steep hill. So we got to the 5 mile turn around and went up a bit so we could get momentum going down the hill to go back up into our tempo. We ended up doing just 10 minute LT tempo again tho. But we did a lot better at keeping our pace this week I think. It felt a lot stronger. Right in between 6:10 and 6:20 pace So it was a good run. We ardy planned out that next week we'll go down the river trail or something so we don't run out of road to do a longer tempo.
