am- nice easy peasy 30 min and it ended up being 3.93 miles, to be exact!

pm- monday and a great set of mile repeats! It was 85%, so my goal time was 5:40. We started out a little quick at a 5:36. Then we just kept it there for the next two, 5:37 and 5:36. Then the last all of us pushed a little harder and I got a 5:32! I felt great, a little tight but nothing bad. Then we put in a couple 300's for speed stuff. My first was bad, I got a 48. I wasn't turning over fast enough. Then after watching Paul really kill his first 300, I tried my best to imitate his quick turn over. I got a 46! It was awesomeness:) We had weights after and I upped my squat and bench weight so I feel super buff!

pm- Trail Run Tuesday! We went out to the trail just beyond pioneer park that goes by the golf course. It was awesome, I felt good besides a little tightness in the right quad. Great run for our guys, I really am looking forward to our first track meet in March. I am ready to push and turn left;)

Beast and Feasts after and those are always super dope!

am- easy peasy 4 out to Starbucks and back. I feel good.

pm- 7.21 miles total and 50 minutes. Today was tempo and wow what a workout. I was right up in the front pack and then after about 13 minutes I started to fall off and then with 16 minutes in I pushed back up and lead the pack with Coach til the end of our 18 min tempo..... but pysch! It was supposed to be 20 minutes and everybody fell off and so Coach and I finished the last 2 minutes and that was good. I was hurtin but definitely felt awesome after cause I really had a great second half finish and was able to get back up with the guys.

pm- Today we did the good ol' washington fields loop! Dang I was really happy we had a chill run today. My legs were definitely tired from the tempo yesterday. Good running from everybody as we come into track season. It is gonna be legit! I am wanting to go for some big stuff this track season with the 3200, I love that one btw. We did striders after the run too. Oh we saw a gnarly crash on industrial today and one of the cars looked like my dads! But no worries, it wasn't!

pm- So I started from my house and ran over to the high school and then down to the sullivans park and ran the tempo on the trail. It was soo dang hot! Oh man I was dying. This time I split up my 15 minutes of tempo into a 9 min and a 6 min with a 3 min recovery. I went about 5:30 and then 5:20 with the pace. Then I looped up to the telegraph and ran all the way back to artic circle and then to my church building and back to the house! What a run. I stopped in the Running Center to check out if they had any shoes that were dope. I found some but I didnt like the price.
