Today was a long run at Draconia - the "fun" four mile square (each leg is one mile). Coach Wetmore's deocument had me down for 16 miles, so thats exactly what I did. I didn't wear a watch, and went completely off of feel. Since yesterday was a decent workout, I didn't want to over do it. I think my total time was 1:40ish (judging by others around me), which is fine for today. I aquajogged afterwards to stretch out, too.

Today was really easy. Our team put on the annual "CU Kickoff 5k", and our whole team helped out. We ran with some of the racers and helped cheer them on. It was a fun time. Today was a good day of rest!

Today was 14x400 meters on a grassy surface. I was assigned the "big boy" group (fastest runners on the team (I hope to keep rolling with this group!)) today, which was cool. Our assigned pace was 74's, but we hit a bit under pace for the first sixor seven. Although this is not too fast, the deep grass made it harder. I felt like I could have done a few more, though. I definitely feel like I am starting to come back after my injury. I still only have five or six weeks of training under my belt, but I can feel it "building" up. Good day!

I ran 12.5 today out to Eldorado Springs and back through Marshall Road. My pacing was nothing too fast seeing as I was sore from some fair workouts the last few days. Tommorrow will be very easy.

Today was an easy run around Mt. Sanitas. I did four strides at the end, then got a massage. My legs did feel a bit heavy, and tommorrow morning we have a big workout.

Today was 3x3k repeats at 9:36 pace. I warmed up, and my knee felt a bit sore (similar to my injury last track season). I figured that I would give the workout an attempt, and if it hurt then I would stop. It ended up being fine, and my splits were as follows: 9:36, 9:34, 9:30. This was not too hard, but the overall workout was long. I iced afterwards, too.

I worked all day at BRC, and felt fairly tired. I tried running afterwards, but my knee was sore, so I opted against it. I tried to go swim, but I forgot my goggles, then the lock I rented (for my locker), broke and I couldn't get in. I ended up walking clear around the rec center in my small little swimsuit to get everything fixed. All that and no real workout...I guess thats just the way it was meant to be today :)
