Only 5.5 total miles today, two of which were hill running. I had very limited time today, so I decided to make the workout short and hard. I ran to the base of Chataqua park (a park near my dorm), and found a very good hill to do some hill repeats. The hill was approximately 300 meters long, and although I am not quite sure what the exact grade was, it was quite steep. I ran 10X300, pushing it as hard as I could. After five, I wanted to die. After ten, the pain was unbearable. My legs were "quivering" and I was in severe oxygen debt. In all, though, this workout seemed to be very efficient.

An easy 11 miles today at an average of 6:40 pace. I felt good (a bit sore from yesterday, but good in general) and managed to keep some decent pace going. I ran with a CU team member a bit of the time and talked about the team and school. In all, today was a good run.

Ran 11 easy miles again today at decently easy pace (about 6:40). I am still sore from Saturdays workout, and did not feel much like any tempo running. I definitely feel drained, and am goiong to take a day of rest tommorrow to try and recoup. In all, though, today was a good run.

Ran two tempo runs today, each 2.8 miles long (I would have run a bit longer for them, but the snow from last night restricted me from doing so). I was also forced to run a bit further than the usual 2.75 mile tempo due to the mud on the usual dirt trail I run on. I ran the uphill section in 15:17, two seconds faster than my pr time when I was only running 2.75 miles, and I had to fight through slush leaving my shoes filled with water. It was like running with bricks on my feet. I ran a mile in between this run and the second tempo run, and did so in about 7:00. On the second tempo run, I decided to really crank down a good time and ran the 2.8 mile in 13:49, averaging out to a 4:56 mile pace. It was sort of funny because I really didn't care how wet or cold my legs got, so I ran straight through slush and snow with disregard. I think that these obstacles slowed my time down a bit, though. I am definitely pleased with the run, though. I really want to try running a 5k now, mainly because I am curious as to what time I could run it in. I think that around Thanksgiving time-frame I will enter a race and check out where I stand.

Me and a friend ran flagstaff mountain today. The mountain ascends nearly 2200 ft. in total, and you definitely feel every foot of that. When we ran back downhill, it was almost harder than running up, mainly because my legs were constantly pounding down on the cement (I am sure this is not good for your knees). In total though, a good run.

An easy eight miles today at relaxing pace. It felt good to really just relax on a run (something I typically don't do). In all, a good day.
