Warmed up (or more accurately, froze) outside on the long way to the Laub -2 miles- before our mile time trial in there. 8 laps on the turf-type field indoors. No fun at all. Ran a 5:26, better than last time but still not very fast. I think that my time was 3rd on the team though, so almost nobody did very well. After, Ashley and I ran around and around and around and around the Laub for 40:00 to cool down. Jessie and Erin joined us for some near the end. It was fun to hang out with my teammates again after a long break! (DS 7.5) (M spike 14.9)

I'm far too cowardly to face the nasty weather outside, so I opted out on freezing and ran an hour on the treadmill this morning instead. While I ran, I attempted to read my assigned Calc 3 reading. Double torture! It was tolerable only because I had some new tunes to jam out to while I was at it. Yay tunes! (K 265.3)

This afternoon we had weights. Ran there, but walked back up the hill after.

Legs were a little stiff today from yesterday's circuit. Ran to the Laub, then warmed up for 30:00 with the team before our speed workout.

First, we did 3x1000's at 85% date pace (GP 4:00 - easy) with 2:30 rest between. Times for those were 3:51, 3:52, 3:53 - a little under, but still easy. Then a 10:00 break. Once got our rest, we did 6x400's at mile goal pace (for me-5:04, GP 1:16). We had 3:30 for each of the reps, so about 2:15 recovery between. Times for those were 1:16, 1:12, 1:13, 1:13, 1:15, 1:12. A bit fast, but I was excited to feel some speed in my legs! Pretty tired out by the end, but they felt awesome. (M 18.3)

After, Aimee and I cooled down 2 miles the long way back to the dorms. Feels like my legs are pretty well juiced, so tomorrow's run should be a nice recovery. And I'll probably be super sore. (DS 14)

60-minute loop. Probably shouldn't do that one anymore, since running on the canal trail was kinda tricky with all the snow. About halfway in, I ran into Ashley who was just starting out on her run, so we ran together until I was done. It was fun to chat and run easy. (K 272.8)

Ran to the Laub, then 30:00 warmup and 16x400. Coach told us our GP, then let us pick our own recovery times. Justine and I both had 1:31, so we buddied up for them. Since the pace was pretty easy, we did 30 second recoveries between each. They went well, with all reps at or below GP (when below, it was by about 2-3 seconds). 2 mile cooldown back home. Legs feel tired out and I'm excited for the weekend!! (DS 20.5) (M spike 22.3)

Big long loop through Providence and around town for 14.5 miles. Not terrible, but kinda boring. Left a bit late, so it was getting dark and really cold by the end. (K 287.3)
