Well here we go...

am: did 1 mile warm and then did a 2k and a 1k. My times were 8:22 and 4:05. My first one maybe shoulda been a little faster but it was still pretty good. I was hoping for my 2nd one to be closer to 4 even but I got faster so thats good. These were supposed to be faster then we've been hitting them on the 1000 loop but they weren't really. Prolly because they were on the track so I was more focused on going around and around. And on the loop I have finally figured out where to surge and go faster and all the kinks like that. So I wasn't quite sure where to fit those in on the track. But still a good workout nonetheless.

Pm: easy 3 to hot nails. My knee didn't hurt at all last week, I mean a little after the race on my cool down on friday but not really. Then it hurt on the cool down this morning and hurt during all of the afternoon run. I iced it right after so hopefully that helps. 

AM: easy 3. Well not super easy, some girls wanted to run with the boys so I tried to keep up for a while but just kinda gave up on that and ran with Josie the rest of the way, at a still faster pace then normal morning runs.

PM: 1 mile warmup then did 4x400's. they were perdy good. My first one was 1:23, then it went 1:25, 1:24, 1:18. So the last 3 were progressive. Did a 1 mile cool then 4 hill sprints and 4x100 fast finishes. It was a good workout. Not too killer but good to work on speed and stuff.

AM: Michigan!! It felt so much better this time! I mean not better, I felt much more tired. But I improved by a 2 minutes! I wanted to be up by Alli but really I'm not too upset, I'm quite satisfied with the turnout. It was really nice having Kaelie and Josie there to push me. Kaelie and I took turns leading throughout the whole thing and Josie would come up behind us and make us go faster. At the end my tummy was feeling queasy again so I wasn't pushing as hard for the 400 but when Josie came up with me I made sure to stick with her. Finished together at about 32:....something. Prolly in the 20's. So yeah good hard workout. 

PM: Tiring easy 3. Just took it real easy. My knees were kinda hurtin and I was really tired. So nice run being the caboose.

My knees have been hurtin lots this week so I took morning off to rest them

Felt good. Went 3 to sandbergs. Then 4x200's fast with walk recovery. Feeling good and ready to roll tomorrow. I'm excited cuz I've been hitting my workouts pretty good lately so hopefully that will show in my next few races!

Easy 3! Super cold So..I'm getting at it so I can get this out of my system cuz I promised coach Roberts I would not be upset about it all weekend. So got up there, it was super cold. Warmed up about 2.5 miles or so. Got to the starting line, took off my clothes and almost died of frost bite then and there! Ha jk it was just so cold and my hamstrings were pretty tight and kinda sore so when the cold hit them they really tightened up and were tight the whole race. I started out pretty good but I wanted to be up with Alli so I freaked out and tried to catch her. I think this is what set me up for the rest of my race. Cuz my first lap was pretty good but pretty fast. I got up with maskerem and the second lap I was running with Taylor and maskerem. I tried to go with them, my body wouldn't let me. And that kept repeating through the whole race. With Nicole with Brianna and Josie at the end. I didn't quite give up I was trying to surge where I was supposed to but my legs were so tight. I kept telling myself that I would be really disappointed in myself if I didn't pick it up but for some reason it wasn't happening. I finished at 21:04 and its not a bad time. But my goal was to get 3 on the team and go with Alli and I didn't get either of them. And I know people were really expecting me to good things at this race, especially me. And I guess I'm basing too much of my success on how other people did, it's just I know I could've been up there with them. So that's just why I'm really upset about it all. Especially since I've been hitting all my workouts so good this week and last. I just..I dunno there it is.

Woke up at 4:45 and went running on the region course at 5:15 with Liz and Mia. It was really dark, so it made it really hard to do this workout. We did 3 sets of (2 min on 1 min off,1 min on 30 sec off, 30 sec on 30 sec off) our pace gradually got faster by the third one when we were finally a little more comfortable with running in the drk, ha and then Liz tripped. So maybe not our fastest workout but we did it. Then went to help out with the marathon! Cheered on coach and my dad that was fun.
