I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

Yucky sick today. Ran to the Laub and did our 30:00 warmup and could hardly breathe. Instead of today's workout, Coach told me to go home and sleep. So I did. (DS 25)

Still feeling pretty crappy, so I ran super slow. And I'm still exhausted. I wish I could sleep all day. Alas, I have class. (K 293.5)

Warmups as usual, then our workout in the Laub. First we did four 1000's - 600m at 85% date pace, then date pace for the last 400m. GP 3:45 and 4:00 recovery between each. Times: 3:50, 3:43, 3:45, 3:44. The first two were off on the 85% and date pace, but the last two were right on. Especially tough because my whole body feels exhausted from being sick. Then we had 10 minutes break before our 4x300 accelerations - 100m at mile race effort, then 100m at 800m race effort and the last 100m at 400m race effort. Ouch! Sprinting (or at least, my pathetic attempts at it) hurts, especially around the 200m loop on the turf in the Laub. Dead tired when I finished, so I only ran .85 cooldown back home. (DS 30.5) (M spike 25.6)

Actually had some energy today! The run went  pretty well, just out-and-back on the time-trial course with some tunes. Easy, but not super duper slow like Tuesday. 7:52/mi avg. (K 301.1)

Team run from the fieldhouse with three 5:00 pushes at 3.5 effort. Well, they were supposed to be 3.5 effort... the last one was way too fast. And I already felt really really tired out, so I wish they hadn't pushed the pace. Oh well!

Good luck to me in the race tomorrow - I'm doing the 3000m. First time ever! Goals... um, I don't really know what to expect. Somewhere in the mid 10:00's? I guess I'll just run hard and try to stay consistent with my splits and see what comes of it! (K 308.3)

First 3000m ever today! I was feeling kinda crappy before, but it went really well. Warmed up about a mile outside, then another mile and a half (or so) indoors with Vanessa and Kim.

Started off the race with Kim and stuck right behind her for the first while. With 4 or 5 laps to go, I was still feeling good and she was slowing a bit, so I passed her up and tried to pick it up a bit for the last few laps. The middle laps were a bit slow I think, but now I have a lot of room for improvement! I like this race (even though it is 15 laps, ugh) and am not so sad about indoor track now... still a little though. Good race, got 3rd overall and 1st from Utah State. And a PR... but that's assumed with the first time thing. (DS 33.8) (M spike 27.5)
