This is for you, Coach

AM:  4x30secF w/1 min rec+3x800I w/2min rec+2x1000T w/1 min rec w/Pizza warm/cool. woooo... The 800's hurt, they were hard. 1000's were good. It felt good to be helping pushing someone along. It got my mind off of myself and about the work out. I think sometimes i just freak myself out about the run. Anyways, last 1000 JP, Stoner, and I ended up doing our own little Indian runs. I was so happy that i kept up with them throughout the whole thing and was able to finish with them! I felt great, better than last week. So ended happy.

PM: 3 miles E + 4xstadium hill sprints + 4x100F. Pushed our 3 miles which felt good and the staduim hills were fine until i almost got elbowed in the face by one of the twins. chain reaction to almost killing taylor boyer! So pretty much don't start behind someone with swinging elbows. Weights and Plyos after. My whole body was just shaking! I think i'm getting weaker in the weight room. i can barely bench the bar without almost dropping it on my face. anyways.. still did them. 

AM: 3 miles. tired. plus striders, felt strong. 

PM: 3 miles hot nails. pace was a bit faster but felt good. inside of quads are super sore and caves need some rolling out. So pretty much my body is tired. Stoner tripped on some rocks and i felt bad. she's been very clumsy lately... poor girl. or maybe its just me tripping her, oops! watched the boys do michigans on the track.... holy wow! they're super cool cause that seems hard... i don't want to say more in case i have to run them tomorrow on the track. 

AM: Michigan on the track? yes, indeed. 17 laps of glory. (mile warm/cool) Started off feeling not too excited but ended up being pretty good. I wanna write down my splits so coach lemme see them sometime! The laps didn't actually occur to me so it wasn't all that tedious. I was focusing on staying with Stoner longer than last time and i ended up sticking with her until after the beginning of the second set? actually i'm not sure cause i lost count after 5. Coach yelled at me to choose if i was gonna stick with her and it scared me cause it reminded me of yesterdays recurrence.. but anyways i stuck with her but then all the sudden i lost her. She just kicked and it happened before i could react. Actually i reacted too late so the next set was trying to keep the gap from growing. I felt like i was going fast and my breathing was pretty steady and i wasn't having too hard of a time but mentally i was just angry that i lost her again. I knew i could stick with her longer than i did cause i felt fine. Finished with a 28:21, beat last weeks by a minute give or take. Watched Taylor and Liz run their guts out and am way proud of them! made me feel like i wasn't trying as hard as them. I just gotta let my body take over and run fast. But I'm happy i finished strong and surprisingly beat Kaylees PR michigan time by one second! Good work out overall.

PM: (800 warm) 3 miles on our sportsman run. hot hot hot. 2x400's and stoner let me lead the first one and she did the other one. oh joy! Weights and plyos. holy tired legs! ice bath anyone? not you coach. saw Trevor! he had a nice looking beard going on... ha, funny. 

AM: 3 miles with 4x200's. oh golly.... legs legs legs. Stoner rolled me out later but i couldn't stop squirming.

PM: (800 warm up) Sandburgs 3 mile. felt good to jump in but it was pretty nasty. really gots to roll and ice to prepare for tomorrow.

AM: 3 miles. tired tired legs.

PM: race in cedar. Not very good at all. Legs wouldn't move and was mentally down. positive is i still beat last years time on the course.
