GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Sprint workout in the morning.  3 sets of (3*150m @400 pace) with 90 seconds recovery.  3 minutes between sets.  So yeah I was going for 19 seconds.

Warmed up two miles.  First set was hard and I was in the 19's.  Next two sets were tough and I was in the 20's but I was just going all out on each one, cuz dang that's fast. Last one wow I just was digging hard.  My legs killed with lactic acid after, but that's a good feeling man, means you're workin.  Cooled down to 5.3 miles.

Pm -  Easy mid distance in the afternoon, 6.1 miles.  I felt kinda beat up.  Really need to ice my hip flexor, it's sore.  Lifted weights after.

Am -  Easy 2.5 miles.  Shorter than normal, for the rest of the year we're just doing 20 minutes in the morning.

Pm -  pre race 4 miles and then 3 200's.  Feeling really sore from yesterday's workout.  I took some bags of ice home and ice bathed.  Which I like never do but tomorrow's region.

Am -  easy 20 minutes, 2 and a half miles.  It was way weird I could hardly run my legs were wack.  

Pm -  Ran the 400m at region.  Got a solid 2 miles of warmup.  Then put my spikes on and did a lot of drills.  I was very nicely warmed up.  But my race was garbage.  I ran 52.48 and I was hoping for a time in the 50.xx.   First 200 just felt ehh like I didn't feel fast.  Last 200 I had nothing in my legs I was just way flat.  Hoping to get some good sleep and wreck in the 4x400 tomorrow.  Lol missed the finals by .04.

Am -  nice chill morning run.  Felt decent.  2.5 miles

Pm -  Chilled at Day two of region all afternoon waiting for the 4x400.  Watched some awesome performances and new state qualifiers.  It was so sick.  Finally started warming up at about 8.  Did 2 miles then about 1.5 more on the turf.  Put on my spikes and did some strides then raced.  Today was so much better than yesterday, I felt nice and powerful in my legs.  Really annoyed at myself for missing 400 finals by .04, I would have rocked a 50.73 I bet.  I split a 50 in the race and we PR'd, 3:29.  So proud of my team man, I wasn't sure we'd be as good as last year but we are better!  Cool downed a bit. 4.7 total.

Feeling ready for a great state meet.  It's nice mentally to have a little break from my main events, I'm hungry to run savagely at state and get some big PR's.

Am -  Easy 2.5.  Felt way crappy though, super dizzy the whole run.  Only got 7 hours of sleep that could have contributed.

Pm -  We drove down to Sullivan Park and ran on the river trail for a bit, then finished up on the soccer fields.  6.6 miles.  It was like 90-95 degrees but dang It felt great, I will gladly welcome the heat back.

Am -  A small crew of us who are going to state and were in town met at the track at 8.  Warmed up 15 minutes then did 6x300m at 800m pace (56-57).

 My times were a bit inconsistent but it was a good hard push today.    41.9 - 45.3 - 43.9 - 44.7 - 43.3 - 43.1     2 minutes of recover between each.

I feel pretty good with 1 week till state, very happy with my training throughout the year.
