ran .5 to and from practice (coach said it would be good to do that, since it would get my mileage up just a little bit, 5 miles a weekish. i'm not too woried about it negatively effecting me because I have 3 years and thousands of miles in my legs to make the extra running benneficial.) and besides, i like the easy .5s before and after:) today we had our Vo2 max test, 15 minutes, goal of getting as far as you can, and boy it was appropriately named max for me today! went out with taylor Abel withthe first mile at 5:09, then he broke away from me, i tried to stick with his surges but i was only able to keep with his first 3 or 4, and soon he got too quick to keep up with. he was about 5 seconds ahead of me by the 2nd mile ( he was a 5:23 i think, i was around 27ish) and then he kept it strong whyle i was struggliing to keep pace! my legs lungs head and throat were on fire! although i was maxed out for sure i think i might have been able to go farther if i would hav paced myself better, but then i would have been alone at the beginning and it helps phycologicaly having abel to run with, when he dropped me it got way more tough keeping pace all alone. but i got 2 3/4 Miles exactly though! (well, 2 miles 1199.999 meeters but i'm just going to round up to 1.2K) and I'm very very very plesed with my effort and performance. later tonight i went to the rec center and did hamstring and leg workouts to get strong and keep my self less prone to injury. i also stretched and rolled really well. definantly in shape better and earlyer than last year so by the end of the season hopefully i'll be in the best shape ever! looking forward to tomorows workout! theres something awesome about workouts when they arent over untill you physicaly cant run them anymore!
