AM- 3 to AC easy.  SO COLD NOW!  Dang...and I forgot my gloves so my hands froze!

PM- 5x1000m repeats w/ 3 min. recovery.  Harts warm, DI cool down.  So, to begin..coach made us believe we were doing 8, which was good cause we wouldve went way to hard, but I shouldn't have saved SO much for the last three (which I knew would be the hardest).  So, the first one I just stuck a little behind mike around a 2:53.  2nd 1000- I stuck with him the first half then stayed about 3 feet behind after the little hill- 2:51.  3rd 1000- Did the same only this time I tried shortening my stride and just giving it a little more push off the ground and that felt better- 2:53.  4th 1000- did the same, really controlled cause i was saving a lot- 2:54.  5th 1000-  Really held back on this one cause I thought there was more, but no haha but I'm glad there wasn't more, but also wish there wouldve been more...oh well!- 2:55  I really thought I did great this workout.  I really hit around my time every single one. And almost every one I was just 2-3 sec. behind mike.  I could've stayed with him, but I didn't want to go crazy like coach said not to...next time!  Seeing improvements!

AM- 3 easy to AC.  Had my cold weather gear, but it wasn't near as cold as yesterday!  Felt good though.

PM- 5 w/ striders out into middleton.  I felt really slow and a lot of little tiny pains sprung up...luckily it was an easy day!

AM- 3 easy.  Was pretty chilly but not too bad.

PM- 5 easy w/ 4x200m.  I felt really slow today, because I didn't get enough to eat (forgot a lunch) and so I did my best to just keep plugging.  The 200's I did really good the actual fast part, but the recovery was super slow, so I was behind everyone.  I'm in the open this weekend which means I know I should go for the win.  I also don't have to worry about who's "suppose" to be way faster than me, because they are all close to my speed in the season (which I think I've gotten way faster...or at least believed in myself more!)

Warmed up and saw the boys do well in the open. 3 miles. 

RACE-  I was in the back of my box, so I had trouble getting out.  I couldn't get my breathing under control and mentally something was just....off. Byron passed me early on and I just couldn't get myself to go.  I just felt so negative mentally.  I ended up finishing 6th on my team by time...which kinda sucks cause I wanted this to be my break through race and it turned out to be my break down race...Also, I have been doing so well in workouts lately I thought maybe this was it, but no.  I just need to work even harder these next couple of weeks to really get me in good shape mentally and physically for Foot Locker.  I know I haven't been close all season to these 'elite' guys, but I have been running workouts with Mike lately and he is elite in my opinion (I mean he almost beat Martinez at Southwest).  I think I just need to believe and GO.
