2 miles of Speed

5 X 600m repeats for me today. We all struggled to hit the times coach Adamson wanted us to hit so he kept knocking down the time for us to reach 2 sec every time. He started us at 1:45s for ever 600 but we just couldn't hit it we were around 2:00's each time plus a few seconds. I had a hard time making my arms swing all the way through and I just kept tensing up and of course the normal problem I have when speed rolls around.. can't Breath but anyways.. Spencer told me to just cut the workout in half today because of my shins hurting but that wasn't what was hurting me in the workout so I ended up doing all five.. and it was only five which is not bad at all so I did them. I did what I could today and put effort into it.

2:01, 2:06, 2:07, 2:09, 2:09

I felt so good on the first one of course and I really thought I was feeling good on the last one but aparently the last one was just as good as the forth one which felt terrible to me. I did feel like I kept better form on the last one though.

Treatment: heat, got my calves rubbed out and then full on ice bath all the way

Today was just a slow recovery distance day...
But that's when my shins start hurting. I got out ten minutes and wanted to turn back it gradually got better. I ended up going 25 out and then back. I broke off of the girls going fast for our recovery day  and went by myself trailin behind them and steph and brooke joined me :) it was alright when we were headed back for the most part. We did find this cool golf course I'd never seen before which was fun but.

Treatment: massage from James on the whole lower leg... ooh he's brutal but it does feel better after :)

Speed Workout:

This was a great workout.. I really like doing this workout at the paces given.
5 X 400m at 81 sec. and 5 X 200m basically all out taking inconsideration that we had to do five so we couldn't ware ourselves out on the first one. So on the 400's I hit 81 seconds on all of them but the third one I hit 79sec. And for the 200m I was very consistent.. I hit 33sec on the first four and 32 on the last one. It was a very good day. I enjoy doing speed workouts when they give us an attainable time for us to reach :)

Treatment: The whole team had to do "Hot and Cold Bath" sit in the ice bath for 3 minutes and then into the hot bath for 3 minutes and did that three times (start  with cold, end with cold.) It felt really good after. I am super super sore afterwards.. not just from the workout but extremely sore from pilates actually so the workout just contributed to the soreness of that today :)

On your own Distance Day:
I went out a lot later than the rest of the little groups goin out because I had a lot to get done before hand so.. I  went by myself around the school, over the freeway, down Geneva Rd, up 4th south and back to the school. I was doing great and actually a faster pace for recovery than I usually do so I kept it up then about a little past half way around the loop my leg (left shin) started hurtin so I slowed the pace down a bit which honestly didn't make it feel any better but mentally it did so..  I went about 45 minutes
Afterwards I just grabbed an ice cup for my leg
Oh and just in addition.. my calves, quads, and just about every other muscle is super sore and tight right now :)

Today I was on my own because the team left up to BSU (Bosie State University) for our last indoor meet before conference. So for me today I just went to the gym and did the "Around the World" workout on the Eliptical for 25 minutes (3 miles) then biked for 5 minutes then stretched and did an ab workout.
