Act like a horse, be dumb, just run.

Still sick but feeling a lot better.  Ran Bank Run by my lonesome, except for the first half mile or so.  Started slowing down quite a bit on the last uphill mile.  It was nice going my own pace though.  Since I don't have a car anymore I just ran home because I couldn't find Jeff to give me a ride.

Speed work today.  Ran 4 1200s, which is kind of a weird distance but it was actually pretty nice. I was supposed to be aiming for 4:45ish but didn't quite make it.

1- 4:38

2- 4:52

3- 4:52

4- 4:54

The first one went pretty fast but my legs tensed up after and I felt like I was pushing harder to go slower.  Still sick so I couldn't breathe out of my nose which made it a little tougher also.

pm- I was going to go on an easy run with Hazel my nasal, but I went and played soccer with the crew so I thought that would count for at least a mile (even though Zac might disagree because I "suck at soccer" and apparently wasn't doing much to help my team... oh well.)

Anaerobic threshold.  Sounds painful, yeah?  It actually wasn't that bad and it was even a little fun.  Ran about a mile towards the school on 2450 to get to track practice but Jeff pulled over and picked me up before I actually got there. 

For the "anaerobic threshold" thing we ran 4 miles with the middle 3 miles at cross-country race pace.  I did pretty alright, I thought I was going to be running with Zac but I pulled ahead of him at the first and he never caught up to me.  I passed Nikki J and got pretty close to Willy but just stayed the same distance behind him until I was done.  Ran the middle "3" in 18:15 but I am wondering how long it actually was, probably about 2.7 or 2.8. 

Easy recovery day today.  Ran with Zac to sunrise tire and back to the high school (3.5).  Then to Sandstone Elementary for a rousing game of ultimate frisbee, which counts for at least a mile... P.S.We won.

Hills!  Ran out to sunset tire hill with Jeff Ruth Josh Adam and Derrik (about 1.5 mi).  Ran the hills mostly by myself.  I was surprised at how much easier it was to run the hills compared to last time.  Last time I would stop in the middle of the hill but this time the only time I stopped was at the top and the bottom.  I must be getting in shape!  I did 5 hills, and I think the fourth one was probably the hardest but they all were pretty alright. The hill is about a quarter of a mile long.  I ran back with Josh and Jeff. 

I didn't run today! :( I was planning on waking up and running eight, but Catherine called and I went to Vegas instead.  I was going to run when I got home but my femininity came out and I stayed home and ate chocolate and watched pride and prejudice.  Happy St. Patty's Day!
