Only ran six miles today after my long day tommorrow. I am feeling good (a little sore/tired today), but prepared to talk to the CU coaches tommorrow. I feel confident that if I get a chance to train with the team, then I can definitely make it on. I guess I will just see what happens.

Ran 8.5 miles total today consisting of 2X3 mile tempo runs and 3 easy miles. For the first three mile tempo I got 16:15 (slightly uphill) and then ran 2 easy miles. On the way coming back I saw the CU team. I would have turned around to run with them, but I needed to complete my tempo workout. Feeling dissapointed with my 8k time, and that the CU coach didn't give me much of a chance to prove myself, I decided to really go at the second tempo run. I hit 2.75 miles in 14:14, which averages out to a 5:10 mile pace. I don't know what got over me, but I needed to release some anxiety. It hurt, but not as bad as I would have expected. Too bad I was not in an official 5k when I ran this. I may have set a new PR without even attempting to.

Rna 12 easy miles today. I am feeling a bit sick, so I ran fairly slow and relaxed. I felt ok, but a bit tired at the end. In all, though, a decent run.

Ran 8.5 miles total today, with a 4.5 mile tempo run. It was an interesting experience because I met a marathoner from South Africa that just moved to Boulder yesterday. His PR for the marathon was 2:13, which is absolute madness. He ran my tempo run with me for 25 minutes, and seemed to be just "flying" along while I was expending energy with every step I took (mind you we were running sub 5:25 pace). I managed to keep up with him the whole tempo run, though, which made me feel good. I have a small shin splint, so I backed off the miles a bit today, and I am hoping that it will get better soon. In all, though, a very solid workout today.

Ran 10.5 miles today, but it might as well have been 13-14. I decided to run on some trails today to allow my shin splint to heal. The problem was, however, that I ended up running a hill that kept between 7% and 9% incline (reaching as high as 11% in some areas) for just over 45 minutes. This was a huge quadburner, making me work for every step that I took. I felt very good today though, so I was able to really push hard and keep on moving at a steady rate. When I reached level ground again, I felt my body "take off" and really plow down a couple of miles. In all, I felt very good today.

Good luck to everyone who is running SG tommorrow!!!

Ran a four mile tempo run today. It felt very forced and difficult for some weird reason (I don't quite know why), and I hurt the whole time. Luckily, I managed to maintain a 5:30 mile clip even when I felt bad. I also ran 4.5 easy miles, totaling 8.5 miles for the day.
