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

Out 25 minutes on the time-trial course, then back accelerating from 7:00/mi pace. Well, um, we were supposed to, but didn't actually start at 7:00/mi pace. It was more like a 6:30/mi pace that accelerated a little bit per mile. Splits were 6:23, 6:17, 6:09 and the last .15 at 5:59/mi pace. Tough, but lots of fun to fly along with the team and enjoy running fast! Then a bit of cooling down with Kimmie and Ash. Good day, knee was only a bit sore, very manageable. Yay! (GT 505.7)

A bit rainy and cold out (though I luckily avoided the worst part of it since it poured rain and snow this morning and now that I'm done it's hailing), but the run was remarkably awesome nonetheless! I love the peak part of the season, I just feel energized and running fast feels effortless. Today's run was just that, fun and really easy, even though my avg. pace was 7:45/mi. New shoes are in order, though. (GT 512.2)

And... for the first time ever, I voted!

Weird weird weird workout today. We ran 600m loops at the middle school with random 200-600m pushes whenever coach told us to. For 20 minutes. And somehow "rabbits" were incorporated into it? It mostly made no sense. But it was fun? Um. Yeah! Coach is crazy! (GT 516.7) (DD spike 103.7)

Slow and easy in the freaking freezing this morning. Glad I got it done early. (GT 522.2)

Got up early to get the workout done before heading down to SLC for the weekend. Quite a few came, so it just flew by and felt just like normal practice. We did two 1600's (first 1200 at 6:20/mi pace, then last 400 at hbl), then an 1800 acceleration starting at 8:00/mi pace and speeding up each 200 until hbl for the last 200. There was one place on the loop (at the middle school) around a backstop that was so slick and muddy that it was really hard to keep the pace around, it was gross! But fun! And the weather was pretty nice out compared to yesterday. (GT 525.7) (DD spike 106.5)

Nice run in Salt Lake from my brother's place. Went up Harvard to 18th then on Michigan to Foothill and on that until I got onto a paved trail for a while. Went out at 8:00/mi pace for most of it, on the way back I did a 20-minute push (7:00/mi GP) splits: 6:53, 6:59 and 6:51/mi pace for .9). Most of the run just cruised by, especially with how great the warmer weather felt. (GT 535.4)

After, I played Ultimate for a couple of hours. And not just fun and easy Ultimate, hard and intense with lots of sprinting Ultimate. My legs are beyond dead. Sore, stiff, tired and killing me. Especially the hip flexors, quads and hammies. Ouch.
