30 minute warmup, then grass repeats at Lundstrom park. 400, 1200, 600, 800, 1000, 800, 400 @ GP 88/400m w/equal rest between. Times were: 92, 4:17(80, 89, 88), 2:11, 2:56(85,91), 3:38, 2:54(87,87), 81. Calves felt like they had no gumption. Other than that I felt ok today. Nothing horrible, nothing spectacular. Cooled down 24 minutes with Kaylee.

Green Canyon, great temps, legs a bit fatigued from yesterday, and some weird leg twinges, but overall a good run this morning. Some tough drills in the PM with the team.

20 wu, 3000m of 300/200s @GP 88, then 15 cd. Nice and chill, though I was a bit tired out today. Felt a bit tight from yesterday's pushups and squats.

Such a great run! After traveling to Chicago, we ran as a team around a park in the city for a total of 40 minutes. I have no idea why or how, but my legs just felt so great, I just wanted to run fast forever.

18 minute warmup, race (see report) then lots of cooling down - first cheering on the boys, then on the search for my lost phone!

All in all, a good race today. I felt like my first two miles were really solid, but my last mile, I failed mentally. Overall, I think it was a quality race, but there are things I know I can improve upon - my finish, my attitude and the evenness of my splits. Still, 23 seconds faster than my freshman year on this course - so I am finally improving!! That feels the best of all.

Felt pretty good for the first half of our freaking early 90-minute morning run in South Bend, but I think I should've chilled more at the start. The last half hour I was really tired out and my legs are really stiff and sore - esp. the hamstrings and calves.

My coach has started forcing us to use a Flotrackr blog, so I do run everyday, whether or not I update my runs on this one quite so regularly.
