| WBR practice this morning, ran the usual loop, my legs are still pretty dern sore from the races esp. my calves, so I didn't even try to run as fast as last week. Ran mostly with Zac, about 7:05-7:20 pace most of the time.

Warmup and such at xc practice, then we ran to the tortoise fence in the desert and back. Calves still way sore esp. on up and downhills and legs still tired out from the races. Lots of random aches as I ran, not really the greatest run, but I'm over it. Probably will run an easy 3-5 miler this evening.
It turns out that our team name is "The Homestar Runners," so that should be fun! No evening run, scraped up my foot quite a bit while playing around with friends so I decided to let it breathe tonight w/o a run.

Ran to WBR practice (last one!), then we ran .7 warm up, then did 16 x 60 sec repeats with 60 sec easy jog between each rep. Tried keeping my pace around 6:00/mi - so each repeat I ran .17 - .18. Felt pretty good, didn't go crazy fast, just kept pace nice and steady the whole time (except my last one). After, we did .7 cooldown and I got a ride home (from Ally and I love her). My scraped up foot hurted lots when we ran slow, but during repeats I just got used to it and it wasn't too bad. Last couple of repeats my left knee gave me some sharp pains and achiness, but I think I'm over it. Mostly good stuff, ran through sprinklers at the end and got wet wet wet. | Add Comment |

| XC practice again, just an easy 3-miler in washington w/jac and ott (except they ditched me at the end because I died on the uphill because my legs are tired). EXCITEMENT FOR WBR TOMORROW! | Comments(1) |

| My first leg of the WBR (#5) was at 2:30 pm, I jogged around a bit to get ready, then as I started out I kinda wanted to keep it around 8:00 pace, but that idea died around mile 3-4, and my last full mile was slow slow, avg. min/mile for this leg was 8:49. It was kinda hot out and dusty on the dirt road (esp. with vans driving by all the time), the first four miles felt pretty good, I wasn't racing real hard and it was mostly up with some small downs that made for good breathers. The last three miles were totally uphill and really hard. I started counting people that I passed and my total for this leg was 8. Miles were 8:00, 8:12, 8:32, 8:41, 9:08, 9:12, 10:02, and the last .4 at 8:19 pace (I counted these as slow miles)
I cooled down on a bike during all of leg 6 and had crazy fun going down the dirt hill at ultra fast speeds (I beat our van to the next exchange by a ways). Next leg (#17) was at 10:30 pm, pretty much perfect running weather: cool and breezy. I ran this leg in my waffles since I really wanted to push it on this leg (since my last was downhill). Supposed to be 5.4, but my watch got it 5.5 - oh well. Ran 7:09/mi avg., with miles of 6:57, 7:15, 7:18, 6:57, 7:08 and the last .5 at 7:25 pace. Amanda rode along with me for miles 2-4.5, which was fun. I passed either 12 or 13 people on this leg - I'll just count it as 13 because it's bigger. My legs were getting pretty wiped by the end of this leg. Cooled down during the next leg on bike, but it killed me because it was lots of uphill and not really cooling down - more like another workout. Dar.

Last leg (#29) was at 8:00 am, first 2 miles were pretty intense downhill, then last 2 were flatter, though still a titch downhill. Since it was my last leg, I decided to go all out, also I made a goal of passing more people than I did during my second leg. I'm guessing my first 2 miles were around 5:30-5:50 pace (since my watch ran out of batteries about .2 into this leg), then I borrowed Big Willy's for the last 2.28 which were 5:40 and 6:32 with .28 at 6:45 pace. I got my goal, since I passed 14 people (almost 15, but my legs had no guts left right at the exchange point), so that makes a total of 35 people I passed and nobody ever passed me! After this, I was pretty much glad to be done, legs basically wasted, but I'm up for it next year!
