3 mile 2450 loop, then we dropped Janzen off and ran to Target to get our 5 in. Felt loooong. Talked to Mia about anything and everything. Fun fun.

AM: Easy 3 with the ladies.. fun fun.

PM: Workout! 2x(1200, 1000, 800, 600). For the first set, Stoner ran with us and we stuck together for the most part, except I think when her knee started hurting a bit at the end. I don't remember the first 1200 time, but my others went 3:24 for the 1000, 2:52 for the 800, and 2:00 for the 600. Then Stoner was done, and I was kind of nervous for how I'd do on the second part without her to push me. I was hoping Coach would come jump in with us cause he said he would, but he lied. The 1200 wasn't so good. It was a 4:51, and I don't have anything to compare it with, but it felt slow. Then Coach told me to focus on my breathing, so that's what I did for the 1000. I ended up running that one in 3:26, so pretty close to my first 1000 time. Before the 800 I told the girls to really try and stick with the person in front of them, because this was the last hard part and the 600 would fly by. They listened.. Maquel and Taylor Boyer flew! I was super proud of them. I ran the 800 in 2:52 again, so that was good. The 600 was okay.. I ran it in 2:02, so pretty close to my first time, but I was hoping for faster. Anyway, I felt pretty good throughout the workout, except for that darn second 1200. I was pretty proud of the girls for sticking it out through it because it was a tough workout. Harts warm/cool.

AM: Easy 3 with Mia, Liz, and Maquel. Yay.

PM: Easy 4.. return of the grassheads. Except this time.. it was the whole team! (Except TB, who couldn't quite understand the physics behind putting a weed in your ponytail, and Mia, whose weed was ripped of her head by some lady in the bathroom.) Ice bathed after.. and the Wimp Of PVXC Award goes to... Coach Holt! Stoner and Mia left Krenshaw, Michael and I to clean up the stuff after.. it was an eventful time. Krenshaw and Michael scared some poor girl to death while I laughed hysterically in a corner. The end.

AM: Easy 3 to Arctic Circle.. we had a little fun scaring Sarah.. Hope she'll still come run with us. (:

PM: Time Trial. Well, this was my first of the year, since I've always had cooler things to do. I ran the first 1200 with Stoner.. then as we entered the gate on the second one, I could feel myself kinda starting to slip.. and she cut right in front of me, and then my mind just said there was no way I was getting that ground back. Which was dumb, I know. On the 800, I started to pick it up and make up some of the time I'd lost. I felt okay about how I did though, and I felt fine during it.. much, much better than Saturday. Afterward, we had 3 mile cooldown and 4x200. The cool down felt super good, but my 200s were garbage. I was just way too tired.

Color Me Rad.. Super fun!!
