The Mongoose

Workout in the morning on the hill behind the school. Warm up, 6x500m hill repeats, 4x400m progression repeats, cool down. Felt surprisingly good after a pretty hard week last week. Really positive workout, probably the best I've ever done on this one. Good start to the week.

3 easy later. The rain was nice, hopefully it rains a little more. 

3 easy in the morning to the bridge and back.

First day of our main practice being in the afternoon. 6.5 easy around Webb Hill and through North Bloomington Hills. I felt good, but it was pretty hot outside, so we stopped at the park to get some water. I don't think I hydrated enough throughout the day so that is something I will need to work on. 8x100m strides afterwards.

3 easy in the morning to the Spectrum. 

2 mile time trial at the region course in the afternoon. It went okay, but I didn't run as fast as I thought I would. We had a really tight group of guys finish together so that was really good. 

3 easy in the morning to Hidden Valley.

7.5 easy around Webb Hill again but through St. James this time to add another mile. I felt good, pretty hot outside again today.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge. 

Fartlek workout at Little Valley Park in the afternoon. 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1. This was a tough workout, but the team did very well. It was nice to have the splash pad there and Sam's pool afterwards. 

7 miles this morning by myself. Ridge loop from my house. Good run to wrap up the week. I'm excited for the race on Tuesday.
