Sock tans

Speed. Up to track, a mile warmup, then 5 hills, then another lap. Then 1600, up to Sunnyside and did 2x800s, then 6x400s. 6:04, 3:09, 2:54, 78, 79, 78, 78-79, 86, 84-85. Really shouldn't have been that hard but I just didn't want to push myself and wish I would've. I also needed to puke, but couldn't force myself to, I tried before going up to Sunnyside but the idea grossed me out. Grass lap and back down to the school. If I did my math right then it was 8 miles.

AM:

Met Eleanor this morning and did 4 miles total.

PM:

I felt brain dead and drained today because of tests and math that did not make sense to me, but when I went back to it, it seemed quite easy...wierd. Anyway, we went up to the track and stretched (which felt wierd, I felt like we needed to do another 2 laps at least) and then we did stadium drill laps, 6 of those. Then distance went to the asphalt hill and did 5 of those, and then 5x800s at tempo pace, a lap recovery, continuous, with the last 50 meter "fly" thing. The pace felt really slow at first, but then as it went on it got harder to speed up from the lap of recovery. Even though the recovery felt slow. I don't like the slow down speed up, I like consistency, and being able to stop after recovery lap. It was just different and not what I was expecting. I tried to stay with Andy and Dakota, I was able to for the first few but the last 2? I was on my own for. When we were done we did a core thing that made me realize I need to do my core. We went up to sunnyside did a lap and went back down to the school for cool down. When I got home I did my crunches and arm swings.

Today we did our Aves run. We ran over to T street along 13th, then did the hills, and took shriner's back. My hips are oddly sore, quads were cramping and my calves were burning.

5 this morning with Eleanor. Why were there so many people awake that early?

Today I went with Bill and Dakota to the college races to watch Natalie and Susannah! So we ran around there cheering them on, which involved more running than I thought. My jeans weren't so fun to run in. At least they were somewhat stretchy. Anyway, then we went back to the school and I hopped in for drills as they were finishing them, and then we went to the weight room and did weights and core stuff, and then we played fox and the hound. We ended up playing 3 rounds. My favorite workout ever! Although I don't think I can count anything as mileage...

Ran down to Liberty via 13th south and ran over to the start. I didn't feel quite loose and warmed up yet so I did 8 strides. Then I started the tempo. I was supposed to hit 20:15 for the 3 miles. I came through the first mile in 6:36, then two mile was 13:37, and finally 20:39. I relaxed too much. It was also really cold and my hands an face were going to fall off. I ran back up 13th as a cool down. Yeah now my quads hurt. I was completely soaked by the end.
