Failure makes me work even harder.

AM- 3 miles E.

PM- 4x1600m (5:07 pace) I started out feeling good, but I was sick today so it didn't go as amazing as I wanted, but I am not letting it get me down! Here are my paces- 1st 5:04 2nd 5:13 3rd 5:15 4th 5:17. I was disappointed but on the last two I just couldn't get my legs to move because of fatigue from sickness and not hydrated enough and legs being tight!

AM- 3 miles E.

PM- 10x400m (1:06-1:07's) w/ descending recovery (after 1st 3- 1:15, after 4&5- 1:00, after 6&7- 45 sec., after 8&9- 30 sec.   I ran the first one too fast because I jogged the last ten meters and still got a 1:05.   The next four were right on (1:07).  The 6th/7th one I was about 2 seconds off and I could feel my legs getting tired. (1:09).  the 8th I could feel the shorter recoveries getting to me mentally (1:09), so I picked it up the first 200m and hit it right on (1:07).  The last one I was dead from the 30 second recovery (holy cow it went by soo fast!!) and I finished with a 1:09.

Overall- I was really pleased especially since I didn't feel good going into this (from slight sickness) and really not taking care of my body through stretching, rolling, icing, and hydrating.  I felt super tired/fatigued, but I didn't give up which was good! 

AM- 3 miles E.

PM- 5 miles E w/ weights after.  I felt good.  The group didn't say much, because they were grumpy a bit it seemed.  But those days happen.  I feeling a lot more positive than I felt after my race.  I think I'm starting to figure it out a bit on how to believe in myself. 

AM- 3 miles E.

PM- I stretched after and I drank a lot today which was really smart and set up for a good workout. 200m, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300m w/ times getting faster each time. My 200m time was 36, then 38.3, 41.6, 43.9, 46.2, 48.5. I felt super good from taking care of myself. Times: 33.6, 36.5, 39.1, 39.7, 41.3, 44.6. So, I was a couple seconds fast and I felt like I was taking it easy really. I felt like I was so fast today! I think this gave me the confidence I needed for this weekend at SUU!
