| Today could have been the hardest long run I have ever completed. We went to Magnolia Road, and I was assigned 17 "steady" miles. It was really windy, too, and that came into play later in the run. In the beginning, I felt really good. Since the route is downhill on the way out, I was not working too hard. Only when I turned around did I realize that the wind would be blowing directly in my face the whole way back. Climbing steep hills at 8500' in the wind is one experience I can now gladly check off my list of running endeavors. Needless to say, I made it back in one piece and I never walked (although I felt like I was moving that speed sometimes :))! My overall time was 1:52, surprisingly! I felt a bit light headed at the end, too from the lack of oxygen at this ridiculous place. | | Add Comment |

| Today was easy with a few strides at the end of my run. I have another 3k this weekend (CU invite), but I will train through it. I am excited because in two weeks I get to run Mt. Sac! | | Add Comment |

| Today was an AT run since we could not use the track (they are doing work on the mondo surface). We ended up running on the 800m woochip path across from the track, which actually felt really good. I had to do the workout alone since I had a presentation for school. Wetmore said the course is 15-20 seconds slow per mile due to excessive winding and a soft, gravely surface. I was assigned 5:30's for five miles, and it seemed just right. It was breezy, but I don't know how much that slowed me down. I wore trainers, too, since I brough no XC spikes today. This felt really good. I hit all miles on pace, and felt like I actually got into a groove (something I have not felt in a while :)). I think this was worth around 5:10's on the track, especially if I were doing the workout with someone else. Another coin in the piggy bank :) | | Add Comment |

| Sooo, today was a track workout consisting of 10x300 meter repeats at 47 second pace. Wetmore initially assigned us 16 repeats, but after our AT yesterday, he backed some of us down a bit. This felt pretty hard. The first few were really easy, but at number seven or eight my legs decided they had enough. It felt like I my effort was going exponentially up while my actual speed was going exponentially down. I guess zip, or high end speed, is the first component you lose when you are training hard, so I was not too distraught. These workouts always seem tough for me. This really short and fast stuff hurts, especially with the recent fluctuactions in my training. | | Comments(1) |

| Ten easy miles today with 4x200 meter strides at the end. Tommorrow will be a shakeout for Saturdays race. My legs feel a bit "juiced" right now, but I think that if I rest up tommorrow I should be ok! | | Add Comment |

| Today was a shakeout before tommorrows 3k at Potts. I did 4x100 meter strides, too, to keep sharp. My legs felt a bit heavy, but they should be ok by tommorrow! | | Comments(2) |

I haven't written in a long time for my blog, so here it goes. Today was a 3k race at Potts (CU invite). I felt ok, but my legs felt really tired. I ran 8:58, boooo! I guess the work I have been doing is taking a lot out of my legs. I placed third this time, though, so I guess that is an improvement. It was, once again, crazily windy and I was stuck in no mans land (between lead and chase pack) for half the race, which did not help. Anyhoo, I survived and I get to run the 5k at Mt. SAC next weekend! | | Add Comment |
