We warmed up with the sprinters and then did the lower loop for warm up. This workout was tough! I was sore which contributed to that. Today I was as sore as yesterday, my thighs were even more sore! But I am really happy about being sore, this is the time to have soreness! And I will be recovered for the Davis invitational, where I hope to run some really good races. We did 4 600s at goal mile pace, I went out in the first one at 1:42, so 4:32 pace, I would be happy with that time. I ran the next one in 1:41, the third one in 1:43, and the last one was 1:39 or 1:40. So I did this workout at an average of 4:30 pace, which I would be very happy to run on saturday. The last one was probably harder than I should have gone, but I love the challenge! Hopefully a nice easy long run tomorrow and a nice premeet on friday and then I will be ready to go on saturday! This has been a great week of training.

Nice job Blake. How did the other guys do?

Thanks, Kramer ran 1:33s and 1:32s for all of them, maybe faster on the last one. Brayden ran 1:38 or 1:39 for all of them but he ran slower on the 3rd one. The other guys were behind me by a few seconds for all of them so I didn't see them finish. Everyone ran fast on the 4th 600, I think Alec and Davis ran 1:41 on the 4th.
