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

For the first five miles of my two hour run, I ran with Sam on the Canyon Loop. Then I took a little break and talked more with him for a while since he was done running. He had to do some homework, so I took off and did the rest of my run. Just went out and back on the time trial course plus some on 4th east (in North Logan, I think). I got all the way to 44th north! I think that's a record for me. A bit worn out today, running in Seattle spoiled me. Avg. 7:58/mi. (K 437.9)

Left class early to hurry and get my run in before weights. Treadmilled it for the first 54 minutes (6.75 miles) then ran (as fast as the snow would permit) the .9 miles to the weight room. Was barely late, but luckily was spared the punishment for tardiness. Whew. (K 445.5)

Survived yet another freakishly painful workout! And broke my record on number of 400 repeats done in one workout. Now that number is 20.

We warmed up for 20 minutes on the usual route, then we started on our 45 minutes of 400s. Coach told us to run as many 400's at GP 1:18 that we could within the allotted time. I did nineteen of them: 1:17, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:17, 1:18, 1:18, 1:17, 1:18, 1:18, 1:17, 1:18, 1:18, 1:18, 1:18, 1:19, 1:18, 1:18 and 1:18. Then we got 10 minutes rest, then did 800 at 2:40 GP (2:42 actual time). After that we got 5 minutes rest and then did one more 400, this time GP was 60-65 seconds! My PR is 63! Needless to say, after all that, my time wasn't quite on pace. 1:08 for that last one. Ran home to cool down. Hard hard workout, my legs are dead. Dead dead dead. (DS 120.2) (M spike 64.7)

25th north loop again. Not backwards. I like it better that way, I think. Then ran part of the way to weights, and lifted. Legs pretty tired out from yesterday. (K 453)

Speed again today. Warmed up to the Laub and 20 minutes with Kim, Vanessa and Amber on the tt course. Then we did 2x1600s @ GP 5:28 w/4:00 recovery, a 10 minute break, 3x45 second sprints w/4:00 recovery, a 5:00 break and then 2x300 accelerations w/full recovery. The 1600s were pretty tough, my lungs were raw by the end of each and legs feeling tired out. Times were right on - 5:28 for both. Then the 45 second sprints killed me! I don't use those muscles ever, so they were burning after 200m... pretty pathetic. By the time I got to the 300s, I was just happy to be almost done and just pushed through them as well as I could. Cooled down running home the long way. Hard today, but not nearly as exhausting as Wednesday. Thank goodness. (DS 125.5) (M spike 67.6)

Got up way early to run with Paul and Joe this morning. Kinda cold out and pretty tired legs. Good company made for a good run though. The hill up 10th north killed me dead. Sorry for slowing you down Joe. Fun but tiring.

Later, Sam and I went to the fieldhouse and I did elliptical for 25 minutes, then we did a few strides, then a whole bunch of abs and some more barefoot strides. Again, it was fun, but exhausting! (K 463.6)
