| 1.25 mile warmup, then 6x800m repeats @ 2 mile pace with 400m jogs in between. Goal pace: 2:50's. First 2:53, felt ok, kinda slow, but paced it well. I don't remember all my times, but all were faster than 2:53. Last 2 were 2:50 and 2:49 - good workout, hard, but not bad, felt strong overall. 3/4 mile cooldown. | Add Comment |

| 2x around track warmup. Ran Dogpound with Coach Holt - supposed to be recovery, but I ran kinda fast: 7:38, 6:52, 7:01 and 7:37 (avg. 7:17). Felt a little tiring, but good overall. | Add Comment |

| 2x around track warmup. Then anaerobic threshold run to Chuck-a-rama and back. First half mile easy, then picked it up to a 7:01 mile then 6:53 mile and finally a 6:35 mile. Rolling hills the whole run, so although my times weren't the greatest, I pushed really hard. Relatively good times (better than last week on the exact same run). cooled down on last half mile. | Add Comment |

| First track meet of the season! Warmed up for the 3200m: 2x around track and once around Hurricane school (about .5 mile). Race was all right, I guess... I wasn't really ready mentally for how freaking long it feels to run 8 laps around a track. yuk. Splits were 1:24, 1:29, 1:32, 1:31, 1:34, 1:37, 1:37 & 1:28. Pretty good except laps 5-7 were really slow. 5th place, time was 12:12.58 - 10 seconds off state qualifying! I think I'll easily be able to get my time down there since I didn't push as hard as I could've (I think...). After I finished, I took off my shoes right away like I always do and noticed that my hamstrings were (and still are) quite tight.
Cooled down 2x around school. | Add Comment |

First track meet of the season today! Warmed up for the 1600m race: 3x around track. Great race, ran in my Nike Zoom Rival MD spikes.Lap splits were ok, 1:17, 1:25, 1:26 1:18 (I need to speed up those middle ones a LOT) and my time, 5:27.14, was only 2 seconds off qualifying for state! Also, I got 2nd place, only one girl from Ogden beat me and I think if I had started my kick earlier I would've caught and possibly beat her. I felt really strong the whole race, so I'm really happy with it as a starting point for the season. Then cooled down by running 2x around Hurricane school (about .5 miles each lap). Warmed up for the 800m race: 2x around school. Wore my spikes, my calves were getting a little tired from running in them. As the race started, I forgot how short the 800m is so I didn't take off fast enough. My calves burned the entire race, there was a really strong wind against us on the back straightaway and that was no fun. 3rd place, time was 2:31.99 - not great, but okay considering I haven't put in a lot of speed work yet this season. Kind of frustrating though. Right after, I had to rest as best I could for my 800m leg of the 1600m Medley Relay (200m, 200m, 400m, 800m) which was right after the 800m (it always is, argh). When I got the baton from the 400m leg girl, Rachel, we were in second by about 30 meters. The wind was still terrible, and my calves were so stiff, sore and tired. All that kept me pushing it was the thought that it was my last race of the meet. I passed her on our first lap and ended up beating her by about the same margin she had been leading by. My split was 2:32 - about the same as the other 800m I ran. We got 3rd overall since there was another heat of teams after us.
I was kinda frustrated about the 2 800m races that I didn't feel went well, so I began cooling down with some music around the school 2x. I was so grumpy about the races that halfway through going around the school the second time, I took off into town and just kept running a big loop around, I'd guess about 2 or 3 miles. By the time I got done, my calves were still totally stiff and sore that I could hardly run on them. ow.
