Today we started out with a 1 mile warm up and then ran 12 X 200s with a walk jog recovery (but I just jogged the whole time). The first set of 4 was going to be 5k race pace, the next set was straining, and the last was full blown max effort. I lost the guys about number 8 which really sucked because max 200s without other people are hard. We finished with a 1 mile cooldown.

PM: 6 miles

Today was a harder workout, but it was needed, for me at least. We ran a 6 mile progression run the 1st mile was at 8:00, 2nd at 7:30, 3rd at 7:30, 4th at 6:30, 5th at 5:30, and the 6th faster than 5:30. We started off great, but we were anywhere from 15-30 sec fast except for the last two where the 5th we ran a 5:35 and the last mile I ran a 5:44 which really bummed me out. I lost Zach and Taven at mile 3, then David dropped off about mile 2, and then I ran the last mile alone. I loved this workout because it was a huge mental workout. It was hot, I was sore and stiff, and my throat was so dry when I breathed in I would whistle, but I kept telling myself to go on and it really helped me by not stopping because then when I feel this way again, I will know that I can do it. I feel like this workout helped me grow more mentally then physically.

It's hard finding time to run in the evenings so next week I'm going to try to institue morning runs.

Today was an easy day since we have a race tomorrow. I ran 2 miles on the track alone just to get some milage, but then we ran 12 laps: 4 easy, 4 striding the straights, 4 easy.

AM: Grass Relays + 4 miles

Today I woke up late and missed the bus to the race so I had to get up there by myself which really stressed me out because I wasn't sure if I was going to make it on time or not. Anyway when the gun went off I had a great start, I was in the leading pack, but of course someone "tripped" so they called it back and we had another start. On this start, I did not do so well. When the gun went off I got pushed back into the middle group and got boxed in which really slowed me down. In the race I was feeling great. I was passing people the whole time and running hard. I hit about 8:10 with .5 miles left. After I reached the gauntlet and ran through it I really picked up my pace and ended with a max effort downhill finish. 11:01 wasn't the time I wanted at all. I was hoping for somthing around 10:50, but I wasn't in it today. What I would do differently was I would take the start faster, pick up my pace just a tiny bit, and kick at with .5 miles left. Aftger the race we ran 4 miles easy before getting on the bus. When I got home I was planning on going for a run, but I passed out on my couch and didn't wake up in time to go on one.
