GOING THE DISTANCE

6am -  3 miles.  I felt decent and the pace wasn't too bad either.  Did some plyos after.

3pm -  9 miles total.  2 mile warmup and then 4 mile repeats.  My goal was 5:17.  I was feeling a bit nervous about this since my last mile repeats workout was garbage.  But it was in the afternoon this time so I didn't have a problem.  First was 5:20.  Then 5:26.  Then 5:16.  Pretty hard and I didn't hold back.  Then a 5:12.  I kept my pace the first three then went hard as I could the last lap.  Hung around at the discus ring for a while and did that.  I got 77'3".  The discus coach said I was using like 1/3 of the power I could get so maybe I could be okay at discus.  It's fun, I want to do it at track meets.  After that me, Paul and Jake got our cooldown in, 2 miles.

6:30am -  1.5 miles.  PTT hurt so I cut it short and went back and did some quick exercises before yoga.

3pm -  5 mile trail run and striders.  We went up to green springs park and did Ice House trail.  Man, the hill was so exotically hard.  It was difficulter than I remember.  The view at the top was extremely infactuating.  When we did striders at the park, the grass felt so exquisit on my feet.  I went and got a drink and it was so soothing to my parched pallet.

6:30am -  3 miles.

3pm -  10 400m repeats.  1 to 2 minutes rest between each one.  My goal pace was 1:08.  I got 1:10 on the first, 7 1:08's, 1:07 and 1:06.  It was pretty hard, but I got in a pretty good groove around #7 and the rest just felt easier.  We, the team, took our heart rates every three repeats.  I guess it was supposed to be under 120 but mine was in the 150's every time.  zack got the record of 168.  impressive.   2 miles warm up and 2 miles cool down.  7.6 miles total.  Lifted weights after.  

6:30am -  3 miles

3pm -  5 miles and 4 200's.  I felt good on the run.

6:30am -  3 miles

4pm -  Hurricane all comers track meet was today.  It was good.  I did the 1600m.  800m.  and first 200m in the medly relay.  I had some pretty good races.  I got 4th in the 1600m and the 800m.  I don't know the times. 5 miles total.

4pm -  8.25 miles and a tempo.
