Progression Daily

I mentally prepared myself last night for Sandhill. Then once I got out on it my back seized up and calves were super tight. I let myself get behind. Then I had to tell myself to stop being a baby and look for people catch and help. I tried to help Jenna as we got to the top. I ran 16:48 up which was better than last week. I thought I would crush it on the downhill but I felt nauseated (like last week). Still ran 8:29 down, so all in all I was happy with my efforts. 25:17 total Sandhill time. Ran with Carson and Gabe on the way back. 9.34 miles 

AM: Half road, half grass then striders. 4.20 miles 

PM: Ran a mile by myself to warmup for the boys crew. Ran with Gabe, Josué, and Bentley. 3.01 miles 

AM: Down 300 to the fields and almost to the Lunt neighborhood. I ran mainly with Boston and Jason. Then I circled back for Josh and Carson as we got close to school. 

6.65 miles 

PM: Shake out on a trail behind Wal-Mart. Ended up running on some hay bales at one point. Ran under the free way across the bridge to the paved trail and home. 4.15 miles 

AM: Legs tired. Did level 1 minutes behind Bentley and Carter. 4.03 miles 

PM: Reverse loop of what I did last night. Only this time Marieta ran with me and we got poured on! 4.50 miles 

12 minute warm 

3 x 1 minute @ tempo, 3 x 1 minute @ threshold (equal recovery) 

5 x 30 seconds @ CV (equal recovery) 

3 x 1 minute @ threshold, 3 x 1 minute @ tempo (equal recovery) 

10 minute cool

I sat 2 of the last thresholds because my hamstrings were tight. Ran mainly with Carson and some with Josh. 6.70 miles 

My run was divided into unpredicted segments. I ran 3 miles with Marieta and was feeling sick. I went back out for another 2 miles and she went to work. When I got back home I realized Marieta locked me out. So I headed back out for a third time and ran all the way up to the Bluff Fabulous Freddy’s. Looking back I’m glad I got locked out because it forced me to run longer. 10.68 miles
