Today was a "long" run at Switzerland trail. Coach told us to go 80 mins. easy (however far that may be). I ran really easy since I was sore from yesterday. This wasn't quite as long as most of my Sunday runs, but it was good nonetheless.

Today was an easy run at Bobolink with my old coach. Nothing too special to report.

Sooo, today the sports trainers wanted to do a few tests on my heart (EKG, ultrasound etc...) to make sure that this is not what was causing my dizziness and fatigue over the last few weeks. They scheduled a few tests for Thursday, and said I can't run until then. It's only two days, plus I need to get out of this hole. Rest could do me well right now. I'll hope for the best!

Alright, I had an EKG and Ultrasound of my heart this morning, and everything looked great!!! They said that my heart looked completely normal and very fit! This makes me soooo happy! During the ultrasound, it was really cool to see my heart beating on a screen while feeling it in my chest at the same time. Weird! They could even take sound clips to hear the blood flow! Well, thats a huge relief. I ran 10 miles in the afternoon and did some strides. I felt really good. Tommorrow is a workout.

Alright, this morning was a great workout. We had to be "spiked and psyched" by 6:30 am (including warm-up), so it was an early morning. After warming up, we did 8x1k repeats at 3:00 per interval. This was not too fast, but the lack of rest between intervals (1:30) made the workout a bit more difficult. I found a good window, and hit pace on almost every one (2:58 was my fastest, 3:01 was my slowest). The end had some hurt, but nothing too excessive. The pacing did not feel too fast, but the lack of rest made the workout tough. I felt really good though, so I am optimistic about the next few workouts & races!
