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

Long run today! Yay! Ran around on the big loop and enjoyed the awesome weather. Shin and butt still hurt, but I'm getting used to it. Stopped at Subway for a drink, which felt good temporarily. Then I got a sideache. Oh well. Actually wore my Garmin (for the first time in forever) and my average was 7:58/mi. (K 558.5)

Went out on a new loop for an easy run this morning. I think I'm getting less wimpy in the cold! It was 44 degrees, raining and windy and I was fine in just a t-shirt and shorts. Weird. I got totally drenched, but the run felt really good. (DS 302.5)

Gross weather! The track was covered in slush and it was snowing huge flakes the entire workout. So, we did a short warmup, then started our workout. Because of the slushy track, coach had us run by effort instead of pace - so no times for any of them. First, we had a 3000 @ 11:30 effort. Ran in my steeple spikes, so my feet were soaked and frozen from the get-go. Still, any shoes I wore would've gotten that way, so I'm glad I had shoes that drained out some of the slush and wetness at least. After 5 minutes rest, we did 5x300 @ 57 effort. Pretty sure they were too fast though... in my efforts to not be depressed about the weather, I got a little hyper. Then coach let us end the workout then, w/o having to do 3x400,200s! I was so happy!!! I should've cooled down after, but I couldn't bring myself to run in the snow anymore. (DS  304.5) (S spike 34.2)

After classes, just went on the treadmill for 40 minutes at 7:30 pace, then ran down to weights. The run felt really good, though weights didn't. 

Later in the evening, after finding that I have to redo about 8 hours worth of work on a graphics project, I ran to the fieldhouse and ran off some of my frustration. Didn't get all of the frustration out though... I think that would've taken about 10 miles at 6:30 pace. And since I don't want to be dead for tomorrow's workout and the next day's race, I didn't do that. (DS 313.6)

Coach had us do a "Conference simulation" workout, where we had a 'race' today and will have one tomorrow too. So, we did a 1600m steeplechase - time was 5:38. Then we did a 300m sprint at GP 51. But it ended up being a bit too fast... 47. Oops. Felt pretty tired out after, plus I was wet, so Vanessa, Justine and I just did a 15:00 cooldown. (DS 318.1)

Ran the 1500... woo hoo? It was so stinking short! I felt really sore, tired and slow, but my time was equivalent to a 5:07 mile (which would be a PR) so I don't know. Mostly, I felt like I could've done a lot better. So that's good, I guess. Cooled down with Amberber after. Then I helped out with the discus for the rest of the meet. And got pretty well sunburned... curse Logan winters. (DS 322.8) (S spike 36.3)
