6x800s at Elkridge park. On the warmup out to the park, I felt pretty crappy. Once we got started on our 800's though, I got feeling better! The first set of 3 went by quick and just cruised along- 3:00, 2:54, 2:59. On the little ups and downs of the park, my knee was giving me some trouble. So for the last set, Caroline and I stayed on somewhat level ground and just did 3x3:00s, since we had no GPS. They were at around 2:45-2:50 (per 800) pace I'm guessing. After, I ran back pretty quick with Jessie and it felt good. Icey dicey after! (GT 319.2) (DD spike 77.1)

Random milestone of the day:

Today, my 2008 mileage total (1863.5) surpassed my 2007 mileage total (1856.5)! And it's only September... cool beans.

Jason and I randomly did our run for today at 12:45 am this morning! We just cruised around town and enjoyed the cool weather, empty roads and had a good time. Ended up going to bed at 2:30 am. Good thing my first class today is at noon! (GT 326.7)

Out to the canal trail, then we did two 5:00 push sections at 3.5 with two minute recovery between. They felt relaxed and good. Knee felt about the same as yesterday, so hopefully it'll stay under control. Tomorrow at 4:30 AM we're leaving to go to NOTRE DAME! Yay! (Not yay for leaving at 4:30 am, but for going to Notre Dame.) Easy as PEASY! (GT 332.5)

After a long long morning of traveling, some amazing Chicago Deep Dish pizza and more travel, we went on a little shake-out around the campus of Merrillville High. Thirty minutes with a five-minute push at 3. It would've been easy had I not eaten so much pizza earlier... but it was SO tasty! The race tomorrow is at 4:15 pm. Whew. (GT 336.3)

The race today kinda sucked. And so has typing up this entry!!! This is my third go at it, I had better not have to do it again. So, the race: I started out too fast and died on the last mile. Not a great one, but oh well. I need to get better at these huge, far away races. Anyway, it was fun to be at Notre Dame and run in such a big, crazy, fun race! The first place girl got 16:something. That's insane! (GT 338.8) (DD spike 80.2)

Seventy minutes out-and-back on a paved biking/running trail in Merrilville. As we were running, the SG Marathon was happening, so my brother texted me updates and results as people came in - and I found that it's way hard to text and run at the same time!! We ran pretty quick since we weren't going very far, at least for a Saturday long run. No watch, so a guess on mileage. My hamstrings cramped up tons on the way back, especially my left - no fun! (GT 348)
