Maybe I'll Blog, Maybe I Won't

8 easy today.  The last week or so has been absolutely crazy with studying for my finals which are this week and stuff.  This week actually will be a little less hectic.  I will try to remember what runs I did last week but it was kind of hit and miss.  Today I just had an hour so I did a quick 8 and called it good.  Then it was back to ex. secretary stuff and studying for my chemistry final which I really need to do good on.  The snow was nice though...for some reason I have always enjoyed running in the snow.  maybe it's just because it's such a novelty for us southern runners.  haha

Did a half mile warmup down to the track and met up with Scott Ensign and another guy...can't remember the name for some reason...I raced him at First Dam, but I'm having a brain Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language ..too many oxidation state rules I guess in there so no room for names.  But we decided to do 4 mile repeats at 5:30.  The first one we went too fast on and did 5:13 and after that it really sucked because 1) I haven't done a real speed workout for months, and 2) I made the mistake of eating 2 huge bowls of cereal like 45 minutes before we started the workout, so long story short I would get about 2 laps down and then start feeling like I was gonna puke...so it turned into an 800m repeat workout after that first mile.  I was pretty consistent on them though...all between 2:40 and 2:45.  Slow, but consistent and I suppose that is to be expected for the first speed workout in so long.  2.5 mile cooldown.  going to probably hit another couple easy miles tonight if I can find the time.  Chemistry final tomorrow.

8 miles in the good ol' Hurricane wind.  Didn't get much running in the last couple of weeks because of finals.  Studying my brains out.  Literally.  haha.  But I hope to get in some good quantities of running the rest of the month while I'm on break down here where it's warm.
