Well here we go...

Am: 3 easy miles. Monday morning runs really are the best thing to get me motivated to run the rest of the week.

pm: 4x1000's. Did so much better on these today then I've done in a while. Apparently we were supposed to move up times but I hadn't even hit my times last week. My new time was supposedly 3:44 but last weeks time was 3:49 and I actually hit that time this week! Not the new one. My times were 3:50, 3:49, 3:46, 3:49. Third one was close to my goal time. These were really hard today but I was able to stay with Mia the whole time, and even tho I'm not very good at that wind trick, focusing on that made me not focus on the pain as much which helped. Just focused on each 1000 at a time. Harts warm and cool and weights after

Am: 3 easy AC

PM: 4 easy out to the Sullivan park with striders and jumping in the river in between. 

Am: girls did the workout this morning so I ran with the boys. Pretty quiet but it was a nice pick up pace for the morning. Plyos with the girls after

pm: 6x400's. I wasn't sure exactly what I should be hitting cuz my 800 from this year was around a 2:36. So I figured aim for a 1:18 but maybe a little faster cuz that race wasn't so good. So my first 3 were all 1:17's and they were pretty hard but they weren't VERY hard and I kept waiting like k when is this gonna start to hurt VERY bad? So I decided to pick it up the last 3 and got a 1:15, 1:13, and a 1:12. Which felt a lot better and harder so that was nice to get working harder. Harts warm and cool with maskerem and no weights cuz I had to leave for a meeting

Am: 3 easy, pretty easy pace. My body was so tired

pm: 4 up to green springs with the girls. Again super sluggish. And my leg is having some weird issues. It's having these weird zings of pain shooting down my leg. Doesn't feel so good. It's been like that all week but mostly in plyos. Today it just hurt the whole run. It also doesn't make the other parts of my leg that are having issues any better like my shins and my knee. But I'm trying to take care of it. This went on the end of track season last year and it got really bad so hopefully it doesn't get worse.  4x200's and then practiced handing off batons. 

Am: 3 miles with mini alli. My legs were hurting super bad this morning, but I iced them

pm: race in hurricane! Ran the 1600 and the 800 in the medley.

1600: was a really intense race. There were so many girls! I kept waiting for girls to fall off the giant pack but everyone was sticking right in there. I could never find a comfortable spot tho cuz I was getting cut off right and left. It was aggressive. Was hoping to get under 5:40 but I got a PR so still good. 

Medley: this race was so fun! I'm still figuring out how to run the 800 again tho. But I was able to pass quite a few girls which freaked me out cuz I was worried I was going too fast, I would get with a girl and decide in my head "ok I'll just stick with her" but then I would get ahead and it kept making me worried! But I ended up with pretty good splits and my time was a 2:31! Which is also a 6 second PR. I felt more tired then I did two weeks ago but still not dead beat, so I'm really excited to run the open 800 tomorrow! See how I can do packed in with girls

Ran just the 800 today. Was super excited! It was an intense race. I got out pretty well and was up in the front pack. My first lap was fast!! Like a 1:13 or 1:12, wasn't used to that. I was holding pretty strong, I was in 3rd at the 150 and then these girls just zoomed past me. So it was a good race to see how it feels to push and go hard, just gotta work on that last 100 meters and we'll be solid
