am: 3; felt terrible so i went really slow which helped smooth out my legs a bit.

pm: we had michigan's today which we did all on the track because they were doing construction on the 'XC' loop we usually use. mile warm then 3x(1x800 5k pace, 3x800 10k pace) hard 400 at end.

we had a lot of kids do well on this workout, a lot getting close to the time i got last week! after the first set it was just me and byron...but then i started feeling somthing come down my nose, i shot it out, but it kept coming. so i put my hand up and found it was blood :) so i fell off byron, but got my nose taken care of.

the hardest point for me was the last 3x800 because it's just so many laps, but still pushed it at a good pace and finished with a hard 400 in 1:03; final time was around 35:30 i think, not sure.

mile striders and mile cool down (barefoot) i was really tired all day (fell asleep in almost every class) so when i got home i stretch for a bit, ate a snack and went to bed. i slept for 4 hours, then my mom woke me up at nine so i wouldn't starve my face, but definatly could have made it the rest of the night

That's a tough workout. I like the idea of it and might have to put something like that in my repertoire.

The whole thing is continuous? So you are basically running a 10K w/ pace changes?

ya pretty much. my coach likes it cause it pushes us mentally hard, especially when we change to 5k pace. this is a famous workout on our team.
