Easy 4 miles with one big uphill and downhill. I feel good, my body feels ready for the day! Workout after school, probably 6 miles total.

After school I did a 1.5 mile warm up followed by 3 miles on the track, 200m in 34, 200m easy. I hit all of my 200s in 32-34. The last two were supposed to be 30 but I hit 33 for them. Not feeling good on the last two at all, I believe that when a workout feels unreasonably hard for you, it's because you needed that workout. So I didn't do well today but I think it's because I've been lacking the thing this workout trains and this will improve my running a lot. When I recover I will be a very improved runner. Tomorrow is an aerobic threshold test, I'm excited to find out mine, my aerobic strength is something I have confidence in after a good summer of training including Jupiter Peak Steeplechase.
