Am: really warm this morning. Striders hurt our feet. My legs hurt.

Pm: 4x1000 at 3:46, 2x300 all out. Not a great day for me. I don't really know why, I just wasn't hitting my times. My splits went 3:46, 3:52, 3:52, 3:56. Then the 300s.. I hit 51 both times. It's hard for me to recover from these. Also, I noticed this really huge vein on one of my ankles. Like, it's ginormous. Not that that has anything to do with anything. Weights after.. I like hanging out with Megan and Liz and Aubrey.  They're really fun.

AM: I did the tempo this morning with Megan and Mia and Stoner.  We had just a 20 minute tempo today, which was nice.  For the most part, Mia and I stuck with Stoner, until just before the turnaround.  I don't like the turnaround.  But this time instead of dying right after we flipped back toward the school, I felt like I pushed a little harder and I felt like I finished strong, which was good.  We saw all kinds of animals out there: deer and ducks and bunnies and a cat.  Also, it was way freezing and we had left our jackets at the park, so my arms were falling off til we got back there.  Anyway.  It was a good run and I feel good about it.  Happy to have it done.

Pm: ha. Just kidding everyone! Turns out I wasn't even supposed to do 8 miles  this morning.  I had 5 with 10x1 minute on, 1 minute off. Dumb. Anyway, stoner and I did 3 to hot nails this afternoon with plyos after. Fun fun!

Am: tres con mi amigas. The weather is supah bipolar.

Pm: 6x400 with goal time of 1:14. This felt easier than last time, until the last one. My splits were 1:14, 1:14, 1:13, 1:14, 1:11, 1:13. The fifth one was an accident. I was kind of mad about it cause I felt way more tired on the last one. Anyway. Weights after. Happy about this workout. Found out our events for the meet.. I'm doing the 800, 400, and long jump. Don't even ask about that last one.

AM: Wore my little sleeve things from the half marathon.  It was a lovely run today.  We talked a lot.  Plyos after.  Then we took Megan for donuts.

PM: Five on firestation. It was pretty quiet. My feet were hurting.. I think it's cause of my brooks. 

ALSO. They cancelled tomorrows meet and I'm extremely angry. That's all.

Am: rainy and wet.. we were nice and dry though. (:

Pm: Fire station hills. I was feeling rather sickish before the run today, and after the first hill, I thought "I'm not gonna be able to do very many of these". but as we kept going, I started feeling better. I felt like I did pretty well. It's a good thing Coach stopped us when he did though, because on the last two I was feeling sick again, and as soon as we stopped to wait for stoner, I seriously thought I was going to die. Kay, not really, but I was hurting pretty bad. The run back felt way good though and I was very happy I finished the workout.

Met with Stoner, Mia, Aubrey, Liz, and Taylor at the school to get our run in. Aubrey and I had 5 with 2 miles LT pace at the end. This was a really great run. I felt way good throughout, especially during the tempo. I felt like I was going a really good pace.. the only annoyance was getting stopped at lights twice. But I cheated and ran before it turned green.. but I made sure there were no cars. (:
