Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and SPIRIT

Workout: 1000's today! (Harts warm and cool) 4x1000- I felt really good with these. I'm pretty sure my times were right where they should be: 3:47, 3:46, 3:49, and 3:45. Coach wouldn't tell us how many of these we had to do so I just went out and did my best for each one!

am: 3 miles* dressed warmer but still really cold!

pm: I absolutely loved the run today! :) It was fun-we ran an easy 4 miles to starbucks with striders after which felt good but i realized i really need to roll out my legs!

4 miles into Washington with four 200's. It was great! I am super excited for Arizona! Gonna give it my best!

am: 3 miles* Felt good

Drove a long drive to Flagstaff and when we got  there we ran 4 miles to shake our legs out, really tired.

am: ran a cool 3 miles on a sweet trail! i wasn't feeling my best though :(

pm:  we around the course for about 3 miles then ran some striders. thinking alot about the race.

Afterwards we played some fun games of volleyball which I smoked everyone at :)

Before the race we ran the course for almost 3 miles which is a big warm up for me.

Race: I felt like I had a good race with one of my better times. The gun went off and for the first mile I tried to not let the gap get too big between Aubrey and I. My first mile time was 7:03 which was alright, I was still feeling good. The second mile, I don't know if I pushed as hard as I could've. But I stuck with a small group of girls to help push me. Aubrey got really far ahead of me but I tried to keep her in sight. My 2 mile time was 14:40 or something like that. I'm not quite sure. The last mile I pushed alot harder and passed the small group i was with and started passing more girls. The last 1000 meters or so i was able to pass about 3 or 4 people and finished strong with a 22:55. I am pretty sure thats a new PR for me! Overall great race and our team did good!
