AM- easy but was hyped to race today

PM- we had the PV Autumn Classic Dirt Mile Extravaganza. 3 mile loops at the dirt mile. I started off good in the pack, fell a little about halfway through, and lost the majority of the pack the last lap. However most of us had season prs and I was one of those people. 19:39 and 6th (Caroline dropped out at lap 2) I talked to coach after about the fact that I have to focus or else I fade. This race felt really beneficial to show myself what I can do. I should have had a stronger finish because I was right behind jacey and I could have got with her. Major shoutout to meskerem because she killed it with an 18:20something? even though she got surgery like 3 days ago. Also shoutout to myself cause I finally got twitter, everyone follow me 

AM- just me jos and roberts. The lonely mornings aren't bad mornings.

PM- easy lower end of mid distance run. We went into green springs like my favorite run ever plus I live there. There was road construction so we ran on the good and not dangerous side of the road. Also we played the game of roger fence only me Caroline and meskerem were successful.

AM- easy 30

PM- same workout we did last wednesday. For our thousands we wanted 3:55 and got :55 :59 :45 & :38. Kind of all over the place but we were packed and that's what matters. We had a good sized group with about 8-9 finishing with us. The 400s were nice and fast. And the 100s were also fast. It rained and was cold, tis the season.

AM- easy 30 it was freezing

PM- easy barefoot grass miles. The grass was cold. After practice there was a huge debate on the death penalty and if it is ever a good punishment. Also i started listening to my Elvis Christmas cd in my car for the season. Also we had the sadies assembly shoutout to nick and preston for being the funniest ones there. 

AM- 30 

PM- sunrise tire hills. 8x20 seconds up w/ 10 sec recovery (you end up going up the hill twice). I like this workout, hills are my fav. I felt strong the first time up the hill, but I really believed in myself and got going the second time up. Quality workout then a quality night. 

I had work at 8 and sadies at noon so we got together at 6:30 and ran mustang pass right by my house. Just easy 60. I felt good. We talked about one topic literally the entire run. After, we went to sadies and it was a blast and a half. Shoutout to michael my sick date. We went sand sledding and played basketball and did cool tricks on this lady's tramp. Also we saw coach at the dance! Way fun, good times
