| Alright, sooo coach has now decided that I am ready for 18-20 milers on Sundays. We went to The Grange today, and I ended up getting lost haha. I ended up running for 1:50, then stopped and waited for coaches van to come and get me. Everything worked out, although the run did seem long. | | Add Comment |

I felt my knee today, so coach told me to aquajog. I don't really mind aquajogging, so this was not too bad. I also swam for 30mins (freestyle) and did the elliptical for 30mins. Although I didn't run, I put in a good amount of aerobic work today! | | Add Comment |

Today was a workout consisting of short repeats. Seeing as I felt my knee yesterday, I told coach I was going to do my workout in the pool just to be safe. I did 15 mins warmup, then 10 x (2:30 on (really hard effort), 2:00 off), then 15 mins cooldown. This was really hard. I sink in the pool, so I can getting a good workout was not too difficult. Tommorrow I will run. | | Add Comment |

| I ran with my old coach today in South Boulder (we did the Eldorado Springs loop). Pacing was not too fast, in the neighborhood of 6:40's. Today felt great and my knee felt fine. | | Add Comment |

Practice was OYO today, so I did a loop around my apartment ant through the Buff Ranch. This weekend our team is going to Iowa to check out the course we will be running come conference. We will just replace Fridays AT with an AT on that course. | | Add Comment |

| Today was an easy "shakeout" on the ISU XC course. The course is really cool. It weaves through dense forest, almost like a maze of sorts. Tommorrow, I am assigned 5:10-5:15's for the 8k. It shouldn't be too hard. | | Add Comment |

| Alright, today was a workout on the ISU course. I had some trouble, though. Apparently the combination of weather (hot & humid), and my lack of hydration yesterday led to "heat exhaustion/stroke" today. I did not eat or drink anything for a veeery long period yesterday (8ish hrs.) due to traveling. This was a bad mistake on my part. I started with a mile at 5:06, then a mile at 5:10, then it was as if I hit a brick wall. It felt similar to the first time I tried out for the CU team, and had to go to the hospital. I couldn't really see, and I was stumbling back and forth across the course boundary. Luckily, coach Wetmore saw this and pulled me out. For a good hour, I was pretty dazed, just sitting around. Luckily, Zack (one of our trainers), grabbed me so I didn't just fall over and lie there. The trainers said that the combination of dehydration with hot and humid weather was responsible. I seem to learn everything the hard way...well I know that I will never go that long without hydrating the day before. This was a dumb move on my part. Coach Wetmore told me about all the problems Brent Vaughn experienced with this sort of thing, and how they were very careful when dealing with heat. It didn't really feel that hot, but I guess it all has to do with your bodies core temperature. Anyhoo, I have learned my lesson. Never again!!! | | Add Comment |
