I am one with the levee and the levee with me

11x400m at our course. Coach meant to do 10 but I'm 99% sure he miscounted. Our top 2 are back in action, #4 is coming around, and #3 is still MIA. Started at 75 for the first as sort of a shake-out, then moved from 70 to 60 for the last 10. Averaged 65ish for the whole thing. Foot feels better today than during the last 400m workout. Encouraging.

I'll have to measure this sometime, calling it 11 for now. Ran a loop down GW Way to the river trail and back up to my apartment. 1:16:58 total time, figuring I was running a little under 7:00 pace, rounding down to 11 miles for the day. Felt tight all over, especially the hammies. I'll have to work on my legs a little, maybe getting rid of some of the tightness can help my foot.

No miles, resting my foot.

Districts today in Wenatchee. Awesome town to run in, the Columbia river runs right through the middle, long sloping hills on either side. The race was in a park next to the river with a nice river trail that I got some extra time for myself on.

Looks like we could only get away with laying down sick for so long. We ran all of our top 7 and barely squeaked through to regionals next week. By about 25 points. It'll be interesting to see if we can pull together to grab one of the state berths next week. I think if we can buy ourselves that extra week, we'll be able to place top 4 at state.

We found out our #5 is anemic (ferritin count was 20), which explains his excessive fatigue lately. That rounds out our entire scoring team as being down and out the last week... I hoped they'd do better today, but we looked awful.

30 minutes easy by myself downriver on the river trail. Ran flat footed the whole way, testing out to see how things are feeling. A little sore, but it doesn't feel serious anymore. Maybe I won't have to take time off.

4 easy miles down one of the canal. Averaged 6:26 pace with one of the varsity guys.
