Easy 5 around downtown Asheville before the game tonight! Another beautiful day. Felt good to take this run real easy, since I know we have 3 hard workouts this upcoming week.

Warmed up on the trails, then hit the track for an alternating 800 workout. We did 4 continuous miles of 800 fast/800 steady. The fast sections were at a 3:06 target pace, and the steadies were at 3:35 target pace. I think we hit 3:10, 3:04, 3:07, 3:06. That first one was hard to gauge how fast we were going, but we got the hang of it a little better after that. Not that it matters, but it averaged out to 6:38 per mile, which I thought was pretty cool. Had to get to lab right after that so I really only cooled down back to my car in the parking lot, which sucks because I think that workout warranted a good cool down.

AM- 5 miles easy with Breck to a mile down rail trail and back. It was so dark (because of daylight savings time I think)!

PM- Another 5 easy all around Spartanburg with my newly non-injured teammates on the comeback! Shoutout to Halee & Ciara. 8:24 average.

So today's workout sucked, period. No excuses about it, I guess it happens. Coach Harris set up a 300m "track" via cones on the lower fields. The workout was 2 sets of 4x(300m, 200m) with a 200 jog between each rep. He had said he wanted us at 68 for the 300's, and 41 for the 200's. I literally didn't hit a single one of those splits for any rep the entire time, even though I felt like I was killing myself. It was like a 9.8 on effort but like a 3 on product. Legs were just exhausted, and breathing wasn't good either. Ahhhh.

Weights later. Still enjoying our new weights coaches.

Awesome workout today. It was pouring the rain, so naturally we went to carriage row (long dirt road) for a nice muddy tempo. 2 miles warm up, then an 8 mile tempo (4 out, 4 back) at target 7 minute pace. I've never done a tempo longer than 6 miles, so this was quite a jump and honestly I didn't think I could hold that pace. But it went so well, and I averaged 7:02, with a 6:55 steady last mile. It was hard because I was all by myself but I kind of enjoyed it. 1 mile cool down.

Did my recovery run at Furman today because I was spending the day in Greenville anyways! I forgot how beautiful Furman was. Found some cool trails that I didn't know they had. Kind of nice to run alone actually.
