Failure makes me work even harder.

AM- 3 miles E. Wasn't really cold this morning. Felt good.

PM- 4x1600 (5:27 per 1600) w/3min rec, Harts warm/cool. First one I just didn't want to get out too fast and blow my whole workout so I held a little bit back, with Colton and Byron pushing me. (5:29-2 seconds slow) Second one I wanted to go faster, but I just wanted it to be slightly faster, not too out there. We switched off every lap which helped. (5:28- 1 sec. slow) The third one, coach told us to take turns leading every 200m, so Colton, Byron, and I switched off and it seemed way easier! Coach told us before the last lap that we were too slow and I was behind Colton and Byron, so I decided to push our pace...and we picked it up a lot that last lap with Byron pushing us in faster! (5:23- 4 sec. under) The last one it was just me and byron (colton is still coming back from injury), so I just wanted to get the same as the third or better. We ended up closer to mike than ever before! And we hit the same time! (5:23- 4 sec. under)

This workout was awesome! I felt really awesome and it seemed easy! I think this switching off thing was awesome! I think we should do it for tempos too! I am excited for this workout!

Trail run. It was fun as usual. I am excited for this track season!

AM- 3 miles E. I felt alright this morning. Need to take care of my muscles more and get to bed earlier. New goal- in bed by like 8:30 would be nice...asleep by 9:30!

PM- 10 miles with 24min AT (5:45/mile), I was feeling a little blah warming up the first couple miles, so I was a little worried going into the workout. We started out and I got into a groove and guess what? For a while I shut my mind off for once!! I think thats one of very few times I have been able to! I stuck with mike, able, coach, and jason until around a mile left it seemed like mike and coach picked it up a little it felt and I was just a bit behind able. I averaged around 5:33/mile which is like 12 seconds faster than what I am suppose to get!! Coach said it was our best tempo of the year which is awesome!!

Old Man Hills 2x800m. Hadn't done this in a while so it was hard to tell if I was good or not. My first 800m I stuck with mike almost all the way, and I swear I was closer but he said I was 5 seconds behind him. (2:33) My second one I did the same about, but I pushed it more at the end. (2:33) I hadn't done this workout in a while so it was nice to get the first one done.

Goal to get to bed by 9:30 - CHECK! only 65 more days until a habit is formed!

AM- 4 miles E.  Had to add on this morning, because I am going to an SUU Leadership event this weekend.  Pretty excited.

Got home from a good, but long and tiring SUU leadership thing.  I got home and just wanted to be lazy so I knew I would have to get the run in right away if I was to do it at all.  I just felt blah and had no one to push me this workout, which is what I needed today.  First mile was what killed me I averaged high 5:40-low 50's.  The next bit I hit it dead on!  I was so impressed cause I was more tired than the beginning and I felt like I had to focus on my form a lot!  I averaged 5:40 for the whole workout.  I feel fine about it though cause I hit the last 2 miles really well (2nd mile I was like 5:20's and the 3rd mile I was like high 5:30's).  I think I learned from this even though I didn't hit my times perfect all throughout.

Oh and its 6.3 because I thought we were suppose to go eight then realized we're suppose to go six. haha my bad :-)
