Failure makes me work even harder.

Nice, easy 4 mile run out by Able's house and back.  I felt pretty good.  Just dreamed of running fast this track season!

4x1600m (85%- 5:35 pace) w/ 3 min recovery, Harts warm/cool.  First one was super good.  I felt great and form felt great (5:32).  Second one felt just as easy and it was nice that colton ran with me and byron.  Hopefully he will come back strong (5:33).  Third one was where I started to feel less effortless, but not really hard.  We pushed it a little more this one (5:27).  The final one I wasn't tired, but my form felt all wacked, but we still pulled off a solid time especially since Byron seemed to be struggling a little (not a lot), he was tough though!  (5:28) 

Overall-  I was just having fun this workout and talking and it felt really smooth and bouncy/energetic.  I am excited for this track season cause I am not as unhealthy about my competitiveness right now...I mean I like to win...I am just not stressing about it and making ultimatums about it!  Running is really fun right now!

AM- 3 Miles E. Slept through my alarm and so I ran by myself.  I felt good.

PM- 24min AT (4:45+1min)- I felt great for most of this workout.The last couple of minutes I was struggling and I fell off...normally I would keep falling back, but coach just told me to match his steps to stay the same distance (a couple of feet).  I just stuck that distance for the rest, because I couldn't get myself to get moving faster.  I ended pretty well.  I just need to teach myself to push harder and faster when I get tired.  Averaged around 5:40 which is the pace I should've hit.  Did well and learned one thing to work on...finishing my workouts!

6 miles with several fartleks.  My right calf was a little tight and sore today, so I was my best, but I still felt strong.  No one seemed to want to talk today or something.  Lifting after.  I can feel myself getting stronger!

AM- 3 miles E.

PM- 5 miles easy. felt good. trail run out by scout cave...it was pretty fun!

6 miles with 20min LT pace. (5:26/mile) It was a little drizzly and cold this morning which I love to run in! We warmed up about a 1.5 I think. We started our tempo and I was with Mike and Able, but when we crossed the road just off the misquito trail mike somehow gained 10 feet on me. He then stretched it to around 20ft then we flipped in the middle. As we were going downhill I was flying and gaining on mike, but then this car failed to see me at a stop sign (people are dumb drivers!), so I had to stop in order to not die!! So, I lost all momentum and after that I was gaining, but then mike surged for a bit and gapped me again...i wouldve caught him and could've stayed with him! My pace was around the 5:40's which is way slower, but i'm not stressing. It was cold and I thought I taught myself to finish and not worrying about dying off!
