So much depends... on the run you do today!

easy run with abel and krenshaw. good pace with nice conversations

1.5 mile warm and cool. with a workout of 4x1mile rest period was 3 min (one lap). my time i was trying to hit was 5:29, just like the last 3 weeks. this workout has been getting easier and easier for me, which is a good sign because it means i can go faster. but i tried to hit close to my times. splits were: 5:26.9, 5:26.9, 5:26.3, 5:24.5. third laps were slow on the first two so the other ones i tried to hit even laps every time which i did. i'm pleased with today.

the other .5 of my milage came when i paced rachel stone for her last mile time...and she hit it right on!

weights after...felt better than last week too. pull ups: 13!

am: first morning run. it was a joy

pm: we had a tempo workout of 24 minutes at 5:40 pace on the trail. it took a minute or two to get in a smooth rhythm but i finally did. then i had some stomach problems and had to stop for a couple minutes. then i was already far behind so i ran to maverick at a 5:35 pace and stopped again. then i went again and met coach and the crew then ran back to the school with them. it was a different day. but alright.

am: ran 3 this morning because i wont be able to run tomorrow morning. good run.

pm: ran during 4th because i had to be somewhere at 4:30. ran old mans by myself. 1x800 and 2x400's. i felt really sluggish on the two mile warm up and really had to push hard to hit my times: 2:33, 1:10, 1:09. the last 400's i really told myself i was going to hit those times and mentally i felt terrible but i kept my form good and pushed up the hill and hit it. i was excited i got it. cool down was a little slow too. i stopped to message my legs for a bit and then i felt better after.

lifting and striders after. no pull ups because i was in a hurry.

i was going to go on a uvu recruiting trip but it got cancelled because of the terrible weather. so i stayed home all day, then about 5 i went on an easy 5. felt good. a little bit a stomach issues, but not bad.

met with some of the guys at 10 today and did a 20min tempo. we did 1.75mi warm up then started. we were shooting for 5:15-5:20. for the most part, on the way there i was a bad uphill slope, and i tried to push this part harder to be sub 5:40, because i knew i could average it out on the way back.

the turn around was sooner than i thought, but we didn't miss it. then down hill we went and i was hitting sub 5 for most of it, then the last 10min was on a trail that had up and down hill, and i guess i went to slow here, but i felt i was doing well. i kept looking at how much longer we had so the time went by slow, then finally we finished and i felt pretty good. then i looked at my average pace: 5:34. still not it. i dont know why i cant do that pace. i think i just physch myself out before the workout because it seems like such a fast pace.

good overall week, with doubles just beginning. still disappointed about todays run. but just need to keep doing my best. rolling and stretching is a must right now.
