Today was a long run with the team in south Boulder along the Bobolink Trail. It was really cold today, even misting a bit. When I got moving, it felt perfect for runnin'! I started slow, but finished at fair pace. It felt great!

Today was an easy run up Marshall Mesa through Shanahan Ridge, then back through Fairview High School. It was nice and cool! I love the fall weather!

Today we did 12x300 meters at optimistic 8k race pace this weekend. The workout was pretty easy since we had 200 meters of rest between intervals. I ran three miles for warm up and four miles for cool down.

I ran thirteen miles this morning in South Boulder. Tommorrow we leave for Terra Haute, Indiana for Pre-Nats. It should be a good race! I am excited!

Today was an easy run to rest up a bit for this weekend. My legs feel really heavy.

Today was an easy shakeout on the course. My legs still feel a bit heavy.

Alright, today was the PreNats 8k in Terra Haute. Coach decided to throw me into the open race, so he could pull me out in case I should have an issue similar to the last few races. Everything went good, though. The first kilometer went out ridulously fast, and I just sat back. I was in 80th at best and went through in 2:47. Seeing this, I just backed off for the next kilometer and played things smart. I knew there would be some serious dying the last 3k after such a suicidal first mile or two. Between 2k and 5k, I began passing people that were already dying (ouch that's going to be a painful last three miles!) At 5k, I was still a ways back, but sped up a bit and began to really pass some people. I was honestly passing groups of six or seven at a time. I just cruised until the finish, and outkicked a Stanford runner at the end. Over the final 2k I ran completely alone, with the exception of one runner trying to hold on for dear life just behind me. When I began kicking, I felt really good and realized I had a lot left in the tank. I should have starting rolling a bit earlier, but this was a good lesson in patience. I am usually the runner that barrels out and dies, so today was a good mental workout. Overall, this was a decent race. The time is nothing great, but I ran smart. Most importantly, I didn't have any "bonking" problem this race. I felt like I could have run faster (had there been some people around me during the last mile or two), but I am ok with the outcome. I think that I will be ready to run really fast at conference in two weeks.
