Be the team that goes hard on the last two

morning-2 mile warmup, drills, 5x500m hill repeats behind the high school, cool down, tabata. this workout felt a little harder than i thought it would. i hit 1:45, 1:47, 1:50, 1:52, 1:48. next time i won't go as hard on the first one. its all a learning exprience

afternoon- i ran 3 easy. it's getting really hot outside

morning-ran 7 easy. felt good, we went slow kinda to recover.

afternoon-chelsi's 5k. just jogged it.

morning-2.5, drills, strides, v02 max on the track, 2 mile cooldown. i felt really strong on this. i hit the first mile at 5:32, just cruisin'. then i picked it up a little, and saw that i was catching kale, so i caught up to him and lead for about a lap and a half. 2nd mile was 5:24. i was leading until about a minute to go, then spencer and kale's famous 800 runner speed kicked in. i still finished pretty well, almost 11 laps and 3rd on the team. it's an improvement from last year and this early in the season. 2 miles at 10:56, last .76 was at about 5:15-5:20 pace? not sure. felt pretty good though.
 

afternoon- 3 easy. i like what kale said about easy runs being more about listening to your body than hitting paces, so i took it a little slower. 7:57 avg.

morning- ran 10 easy up at navajo lake. it was great, because it felt good and we were at 8000 feet elevation. good run.

afternoon- 3 easy in the heat. took it a little slower again. 8:05 for the avg.

morning- .5, drills, 2, striders, 3x1 mile dirt repeats, 1 mile cooldown, core/stretch. i felt really strong on these. the first one i hit 5:52, way too slow, i was supposed to hit 5:37. 2nd one i hit 5:32, still felt really good. the last one was a slight bit harder, hit 5:27, still felt really good. i don't want to say this workout was easy, but it was very comfortably hard. good run.

afternoon- 3 easy. 7:30 avg

morning- ran 10 miles easy in the heat. it was way hot. this wasn't a very good run. it felt really hard physically and mentaly.
