More easy miles. Raced at WAC XC championships on Saturday and coach wants us to take the first half of the week easy.

Wanted to do a 9 mile steady state today. Did 2 mile warmup, then got into the steady state. Legs felt like garbage so I called it at 5 miles. Averaged 5:43 for the steady state, so quite a bit slower than I was hoping. Had a pretty tough workout a couple days ago and drove down to St. George from Provo late last night, so overall I'm not stressed about it. Good week coming off of WAC XC championships. Ready to start the outdoor season!

AM- 9.02 total (warmup, 4x800 w/2:30 rest, 4x400 w/1:30 rest, cool down). Did this same workout in Orem the week before conference. I remember thinking it was more difficult than I thought it would be, and that's sort of how I felt today. Breathing just felt a bit off. 
 

PM- 4.03 easy

Easy miles. Felt pretty tired, but I doubled yesterday and had a workout so that could be part of it. Gonna really chill tomorrow and get ready for a tempo on Friday.

Wasn't feeling great so I decided to postpone the tempo until tomorrow. Hoping for good weather. Just easy miles today.

AM- Technically not a morning run. Waited for the weather to clear up before I went out to do my tempo. The plan was to do 6 mi tempo, but I started to fall apart during the third mile and decided to get through 4 mi and focus on feeling strong and controlled. 5:10 avg for 4 mi. Took a few minutes to catch my breath and finished with a few more miles at quality/steady state pace. 11.7 total. 

PM- 4 mi easy. Enjoyed being down in St. George for spring break, even if the weather wasn't ideal. Next weekend will be my first outdoor track race since May 2018 haha, should be exciting!

Ended up staying in St. George for a couple more days. 11 miles easy on the AZ strip. I know it's just a long dirt road, but I really like running out there haha. Legs were pretty trashed from the lifting on Saturday but they loosened up throughout the run.

9.34 total for practice in the afternoon. Workout was 2x(600, 400, 200). Had a lot of recovery between reps which was nice because I was toast. Felt weird to go that fast again.
