Slept in, then headed out and actually did what coach assigned the team for the first time in forever. 60 minutes with 2x10 minute pushes at 30 minute effort w/ 5 minute jog recovery between. Ended up with 64 minutes. The  push sections killed me off pretty thoroughly, but I'm so excited to be back running fast! Or at least attempting to do so... (K2 187.8)

Snow. Eew. Did an out-and-back this morning and got drenched and frozen. Slipped much, but didn't fall down! Felt reasonably good, considering the rocky (snowy, whatever) terrain. (K2 195.3)

Hurdle practice at 2 pm (fail), then weights at 3:30. Back to class at 4:30. Tuesdays suck.

First speed workout back with the team! I died. Warmed up 2 miles out on the road with Kailey, then got ready and did the workout. Started off with 1.5 miles at 1:30, 1:45, 1:30, 1:30, 1:45, 1:30 per 400m (9:30 total). Ran with Justine and we hit it right on (killed me dead!). Walked 200m, jogged 200m, then started on our next 1.5 mile at the same pace as before. Finished at exactly the same time as previously (9:29.25), feeling pretty spent. On the last one, we started at the "B" level pace (1:40, 1:50, 1:40, 1:40, 1:50, 1:40). Halfway through the fifth lap, my foot started feeling more sore so I decided to stop and just cool down on the bike to finish off (elliptical and bike for 8 minutes each). Glad to get in a workout finally, just feeling freakishly out of shape!  Iced after. (K2 201.2)

Got up this morning and did 8 miles in the fieldhouse (no snow running for me today). First two miles on the track (7:45, 7:55), 3 miles on the treadmill (8:00x3), then 2 on the track (7:50, 7:40) and finally one more mile on the treadmill at 8:00 pace. (K2 209.2)

After morning classes, headed off to hurdle practice. Apparently I fail at proper hurdle form. Bruised and embarassed myself repeatedly, improving a little but for right now I look pretty handicapped. 

Right after hurdles, went over to weights and did a circuit with the teammates that aren't already in Washington to race this weekend.

Ran around outside in the snow for a few miles, then headed to the fieldhouse and ran two miles on the track and one on the treadmill  to finish it off. Then I did hurdle practice for a while and failed some more. (K2 216.2)

Headed out on a 10-miler in the snow and ice. Gross and long and tiring, but I did it! Winner. (K2 226.2)
