AM: It was SO cold out this morning. I almost died. 59 degrees!! I don't even know how to handle the 50s!! That's almost half of what I'm used to... gosh. So, I told myself not to run fast since we were doing 800's this afternoon, but there's something about Monday mornings that just makes me want to go fast. I restrained myself on my first mile (8:07) but then I wanted to catch Coach and Rob, so I ran 7:01 for the next one and stuck with them for the 6:48 last mile. What was that about wanting to go easy? What the heck, it felt good! By the end of the run, I had finally warmed up! But then the showers were cold. Curse them! Good thing I won't have to handle cold public showers again until the track season! (Alchemy 184.3)

PM: Legs were kinda tired from this morning... tee hee. Warm ups and such (50/100), then DI loop warmup for 5x800m repeats:

1- 2:52, I regret to admit that I took this one kinda easy to make sure my others would be faster than it. Then I got stuck in the slower group of guys.
2- 2:45, Pushed this one pretty well, I think I run better as a front runner in some ways, so I was glad to be in the slower group for this one.
3- 2:44, Thank goodness Holt said I would keep my pace good to all the boys - it was just enough of a push to make me keep this hard 3rd one at a good pace.
4 - 2:46, Legs were getting pretty tired out by this one and Willy passed me up on the second half, but I still pushed well and hard.
5- 2:46, Boy did this one feel slow and painful as much as I worked my butt off. And Willy beat me again, shucks.

Did pretty well overall, looking back at other workouts this season, I did better with consistency, though my fastest was 2 seconds slower this time that my fastest earlier. Good workout, though, legs tired out lots as I did the 3/4 mile cooldown. (DST 223.9)

I think I jinxed myself yesterday for sympathizing with Mik'L's plight with her alarm issues, since this morning my alarm ran out of batteries. What luck. So Mom woke me up with barely enough time to get ready for school. Although Holt wouldn't excuse my absence in 6th period (or even a 'way late'... curse him...), I ditched the first 3/4 of it to go on my morning 4-miler then. Dogpound-ed it at a nice medium pace, 7:46/mi avg., legs pretty tired out from yesterday. (Alchemy 188.3)

Legs were still pretty hammered by the time practice rolled around, but I decided to run medium fast again. I started a titch late trying to get a signal, then what-the-heck-ed that idea since I know how far freaking Arctic Circle is. Once I got up to Kalli (.25 mi. into it or so), I convinced her to stick with me almost the whole run; she did an awesome job! On the way back, Ethan joined the party. Total time for AC run was 23:12, so 7:44/mi avg. Hope the legs are less exhausted tomorrow... (DST 227.4)

Goals for Pre-Region tomorrow:
*OWN THEM ALL!! By a couple minutes!!
*Get a PR!!
*Break 18!! (Jeffry, Decker and I are all going to break 18 tomorrow. We decided this on Monday.)

Argh! Does tying with a PR count as PR-ing?! Because I tied with my PR today and that totally sucks. Especially since I probably could've given it a bit more in the middle. Kierstin Blauer started out the first .5 mi with me, so I just assumed she'd stay kind of close when I started pulling away from her. I kept high-tailing it for the first 1.5 because I thought she was on my tail - which helped me push it - except then some 'shall-stay-unnamed' spectator (curse him) told me she wasn't even in sight behind me and I kind of let up for a bit until I realized what I was doing, but by then I had already succumbed to the tiredness & soreness once which made it easier to do again. Argh. So I think I could've done better and gotten a PR. But I didn't. Phooey. (As a side note - we started out with a 2 mile warmup and it felt so good.) (Alchemy 190.3) (DD spike 25)

Got to sleep in 'til 6:30! Ran an 'easy' 3.6 miles out to Stake Center and back. Legs way tired out - I ran 8:10/mi avg. and it felt hard. After, I got to have a relaxing morning and had a sit-down breakfast and go to school at 8:15! It was great! (Alchemy 193.9)

Afternoon practice: 40/80 (I'm tapering my pushups and crunches, too!). I thought we were doing hills this afternoon, but instead, we went on a long-ish run. Foremaster, my favorite! Except today it wasn't so favorite. Legs still way juiced out and dead, the intense wind wasn't so nice and just struggling mentally the whole time to keep going. Yuk. I had been having the best day EVER, but this run kinda spoiled it. (8:16/mi avg.) And my lesson right after sucked too. Tomorrow's AT run will be much better, I have decided! (DST 234)

Dogpound AT run this afternoon. (40/82) My legs were still feeling pretty spent, but I managed to get in a reasonably good workout. AT miles were: 6:18, 6:01 and 7:03 - that last mile was into a nasty, nasty headwind and uphill to boot. Ouch! But the first mile of the AT was my fastest ever - yeah! The knee was pretty lame for the first couple miles, but it got better as the run went on. Now, to get some sleep for the SAT tomorrow. Mmmm. (DST 238.5)

Met up with Breanna at PVHS this morning for a run. It was SO cold! And windy! I died of hypothermia again. In the dark I ran the warmup loop and that was scary, then we stretched a bit and went on the Green Springs 6-miler. It's kinda funny, we were talking while we ran and we got pretty winded. We usually run with guys, who talk less, so we weren't really used to talking more and it was tiring! So, that made me laugh. Ran a pretty nice pace, mostly just comfortably quick with a little pickup to it esp. on the fun downhill on the way back. 7:37/mi avg. (Alchemy 200.4)

Missed the marathon for the SAT test, but looked at results online - Congrats to all, there were some screamin' fast times!
