USU

nice easy 3 for am run

afternoon we did 2 warm up, 4x 30 second sprints, 3x 800 hard and ending it with the main part, 4x 1000s indian runs. the indian runs were tough. the beginning of the workout got us good and tired for the 1000s and it really showed who had it in them! i was really feeling pooped by the 3rd and 4th thousand but i kept it in and even helped push the group! i feet good on my 800s too keeping with mike. they werent real quick 800s but i was the only one  who stuck with him in all of them. the 2 mile cool down felt pretty quick though. could have taken it easyer but oh well.... getting ready for our last time trial tomorow!

time trial today. we did 3 in the morning then 3 in the afternoon, did the time trial which i'll talk about in a sec, a mile and a half cool down and some hill sprints to finish off with some speed.

so the time trial: i started out faster than i would have with mike and casey but that was good cuz it pushed me to stay with casey. at the end of the first 1200 loop i was strugleing but kept with casey. as the race went on i was getting into the rut so i tried passing casey to take 2nd (mike shot off like a beast a whyle ago) but every time he would kick it faster and pull both of us along. another 1200 came and went and i was feeling crappy but good that i was sticking with casey and the last 800 loop came and we pushed it harder. i wanted to outkick casey but after the hill he pushed it harder than i could. oh well i feel good that i finished 2 seconds behind him.  

nice am 3 miles. not much to say about it though.

so since wednesday i bought some kinvara 3s but they have been hurting my already hurt planters (it feels like stepping on a needle right thrugh the center of my foot/arch) so im going to return them. maby get some brooks pureflows. anyways another trip up north. sorry i havent updated in a whyle i have been useing all my free time for homework. but we had the harriman invitational. that course was the worst ever! its suuuuper tough. it was definantly a pear growing expirience if you know what i mean. i was worried my plantars would kill with all the fast downhill running but it actually dident hurt at all! that i noticed anyways. 

so we started nice and quick up a gradual incline then rounded a corner into a stepe downhill. i took it a little slower than i would have. eventually cought up with casey and we stuck together pushing eachother up the hills and over em and on the long kick sections. i passed him right before the mutha cussa (which i am not worthy of describeing...) and kept in front of him for that last half mile or so.

i was way way happy with my race. i definantly hurt more on that race than any other ever! but i finished good at 12th place (time dosent matter on this one but its like 1:30 slower than normal!) i was .....i cant remember....like a minute more or less back from mike. maby 45 seconds. i got a shnazzy shirt though they gave them to the top 14 sorry casey, youtook 15th;) and we beat desert hills and now they are ticked and tapering to beat us next weekend. they are stupid sometimes. i like ben though he is nice! i beat all but 1 desert hells guy in the race. 

so yah overall it was a pretty solid race! sorry about the bad spelling and organization im sleepy.

and ignore the last little bit down there 

sec. i got a shirth though they gave them to the top 15 (sorry casey, you got 15th;) 

ended one of my longest distance weeks of the season with a beautiful 8 miler with mike. just me and him. it was quite romantic actually...... bwahaha;) but really though it was nice! it hardly even felt like 8 miles we talked the whole time and did about 15 loops on the baseball feild at pv for some nice barefoot.
