AM- 3 easy to AC.  Felt a little tight and hipflexor just feel off (not really in pain)

PM- favorite run out on rollercoaster for a total of 8.  I notice that on hills I do really well...not necessarily because of my muscular legs, but because I just trust myself and glide up hills.  So, all I need to do is let go and trust myself to lay it on the line and give it what I got, because I got the ability to be fast, I just need to not just call for a raise but to put all chips in on every workout and race in order to get the performance I've been waiting for.  Hipflexor needs to be rolled and stretched.  Feels just a little jacked, but not in any pain really.

AM- 3 easy to AC.  Felt good.

PM- workout of 5x1000m w/ 3 min. recovery.  Mike wasn't here today, but I replaced him with Tyson haha.  I wasn't suppose to go crazy, so I held back from going with Tyson (who was going way faster than I intended to go).  1st 1000m- 2:50.  Felt pretty good, just warming up.  2nd 1000m- 2:53.  Held back from Tyson, who was like 5 seconds ahead of me.  3rd 1000m- 2:53.  4th 1000m- 2:57.  This one was off, because I kept the same distance from Tyson thinking he was on pace, but he wasn't.  5th 1000m- 2:48.  The last one coach told us to get out fast and if we felt good to kick it at the end and I wasn't really tired, so I decided I would.  Going up the hill colton was feeling good so he gapped me a little, but when we got to the flagpole I started my kick and I just felt amazing and like I was flying.  I ended very well and I was talking with Tyson and he said he would do thousands around the pace I am doing them, so I think that proves that I can do SO much better in races.  I am feeling better and better about my running, even after the below-par performance at NXR!

AM- woke up and ran by myself, because I had to work then leave to AZ later.  Went an easy 5 and attempted to to striders, but the grass was still frozen, so I just quit after half of them. 

PM- didn't think I'd get the run in, because it was dark when I arrived to AZ, but hunter was there and we decided to go on a run before dinner.  It was super slow, but it's nice to go easy every once and a while.  FYI- if someone tells you to try a hamburger patty with a krispy kreme donut as the bun...say NO WAY!

6 miles with 2 mile tempo. I thought I'd go about 5:50 pace but I ended up running faster than that. I think because its so much lower altitude in Arizona. Before the tempo I was feeling really crappy but as soon as I got going in the Tempo I felt really good. 1st mile- 5:39. This one was all downhill. 2nd mild- 5:37. This second one I tried to keep mu stride at a good, quick length and it helped a ton. This one was flat with a little uphill at the end.  I was glad I got a good run in and I learned what my perfect length of stride because normally I make it too lengthy and slow so that was good.  Feeling real good about Foot Locker!
