C Mantz Running

     PM #1- 1.5 mile warm up,then 3 miles tempo.  I was where I wanted to be for the first mile, but then my legs could feel Saturday's race, and it hurt more than usual.  Also my stomach wasn't feeling great because my lunch hadn't had that much time to digest, and that didn't feel good either.  Splits were: 5:09, 5:35, 5:20.  I just felt off, maybe my head had gotten bigger in these last few days.  1.5 mile cool down.  Maybe I'll do some more running tonight.

   PM #2- I wasn't planning on going fast at first, but was planning on running 6 minute mile pace for 5 miles, but then I got competitive with the clock.  My first mile was 5:03, so I thought maybe I'll just run  6 minute miles for the rest of the run and finish just over 29 minutes.  My next mile was 5:47, still too fast, and that is the second hardest mile on the course, so I thought again, I'll just run my next miles in 6 minute pace.  This happened at every mile marker.  Other splits: 5:36, 5:26, 5:52.  Afterward I did 1 mile cool down.  I was hurting at the end of the run, especially since I'd ran tempo just 3 hours before, but I'm happy I got it done, and I did it at a way faster pace then planned.  My final time was 27:45 for the 5 miles. 

      It was supposed to be an easy long run, but just became long.  I was really dehydrated during the first 5 miles, and couldn't wait until the 6 mile mark because there was a pump at the top of Smithfield Canyon.  When I got there the pump was shut off, and not all of it was there.   So I had to wait until mile 11 where I could get a drink of water at Mack Park. I tried to go at a decent speed for this run, but it just wasn't in me today.  My legs just hurt and are tired. 

    5 miles easy with Tyler, Tyson, and Kyler.  Sunnyside Backwards.  It felt uphill both ways. 

       Had my first speed workout after state today.  Coach had me down for 4X1200m (3 minute recovery) at I pace(70 seconds per lap) and then 1-2X1000 at same pace, and if I did one I would do 4X200m after at R pace.  A very good workout, but my body was too sore to do it all.  My first 1200m was 3:26, then the next was at 3:31, then my third one I was really hurting, but told myself that would be my last one and I hit 3:30.  My last one was just terrible.  My legs hurt, my stomach hurt, and mentally I just couldn't do it.  I ran it in a disappointing 3:43.  After I asked Coach Wright if I could just do the 200s and not the 1000m, and he said that'd be alright with how I was feeling, and how I went hard on Monday and Tuesday.  I did the 200s at 32, 31, 31, 31.  Those felt better as they went on, but my legs still hurt.  After I did my cool down, and I didn't feel much better.  My mom, brother and dad had something today, and I couldn't find anyone to get a ride home from, so I jogged hom with my backpack and change of clothes.  My calves hurt a lot here, but I did get home. 

      5 miles easy. My back was Really Sore from yesterday's run home with my backpack and my other bag full of clothes.  When I got done my mom wasn't going to be able to pick me up for a half hour, so I ran a bit more on the track. 

       4 miles tempo, and my legs hurt!  This is my third time hitting a 50 mile week ever, and I'm sore.  During the first mile, my legs weren't hurting too much, but they didn't feel the best.  5:02(downhill).  My second mile my legs were hurting, so I slowed a lot, but this mile was also uphill. (5:51).  I tried to push my next mile a lot because I knew I was slowing down not just from the uphill.  (5:21)  My last mile I tried to push every part of it and give all I could.  This mile was slightly downhill for some of it.  This one hurt the worst, and my calves were just burning.  (4:58).  After I did 1 mile cool down to my house, and then 1 mile easy with my dad and dog.
