Am - Easy 4 miles. Felt pretty good. Alex keeping us up till 10:15 every night is getting really annoying. I need more sleep.
Pm - Tough workout this afternoon. We did 3 mile repeats at XC race pace (goal for region). My goal time was 5:05 pace. First mile was supposed to be 10 seconds fast. I was able to get 4:53, a bit quick and it was hard. Second was supposed to be 15 seconds slow; I ran 5:24. This rep was too slow, but it was freakin hard and my legs were dying. Last rep was supposed to be 5 seconds fast so I had to get 5:00. I told my self, "I'm not gonna be a noob who runs a crappy last mile." So when I came through at 3:51 for 1200, I busted my but and ran 1:08 to finish up with 4:59. After those miles, we did 200m all out. The whole workout was supposed to simulate a 5k race, good stuff.
My cool down was rough. I was feeling waaay dizzy; no doubt I didn't hydrate good today and yesterday. Just did laps on the track so if I passed out then some soccer player could save me. Got 8 miles on the afternoon. Lifted weights after.
