4x600 repeats on Tawny's hill. 15 minute warmup and cooldown. I got 2:23,2:24,2:23,2:18. Decent times considering the last workout I did was either in late november or early december. Once my legs get into faster shape, I wan't to be hitting, 2:15's on them. Did a super insane strength/core workout with the new coach, and it was a lot harder than the hill sprints we did. Afterwards the coaches brought us chocolate milk, which was awesome.

3x5 minute pickups on the canal. I didn't push at hard as I should have, but I still did decent. I just hit a cruise speed on them and stayed the same pace the whole time. The only ones that did it were galen, justin, lil' warner, craik and me. Cut the cooldown a little short with craik because we were both feeling sick afterwards. Did the strenght training stuff again, but it was different. Did some suicides, which if you've never played basketball, you have probably don't have a clue what they are. Reminded me of my basketball days... I miss those days, but running is super fun too. We basically doing crossfit for a half hour after our run every B-day. The first race that I can go to is the distance challenge. My last race was the Nebo invite, and when I think of that, I think of how bad my XC season went. With such a low start to my junior year, I need to finish it on a super good note. I feel like i'm finally getting to where I should have been during the XC season. I'm already super excited to run the race, even though it's 2 weeks away!

I ran by myself today. I started and felt pretty darn good, so I decided to make this a progression run. Did it on the canal. Here are my splits:6:54, 6:41, 6:32, 6:28,  6:18, 6:10, 6:02, 5:57, 5:49, 6:00. The last mile was all uphill, and it felt like a 5:20 something pace. I wish I would have raced today, to see what I could have gotten when feeling as good as I did today. I broke my 3 mile PR 4 times, which is cool, but also dumb. Shows what a bad xc season I had

I din't have any motivation to go fast today, but I still wanted to go far. With about 3 miles left, I had to use the bathroom super bad, and I walked for a little bit. My brother drove by and asked if I wanted a ride home, and I accepted. I haven't hit 40 miles in a week since September!
