Easy long run on some new trails behind Spartanburg High. It got dark real fast so we took the last 3 miles pretty fast, maybe 7 flat pace or so. Fun run though!

7AM- Nice and relaxed 7 miler with Alexandra for recovery from this weekend. We went straight from campus out to rail trail, about 2 miles down, and back. My calves feel infinitely better, they were so tight after the race Saturday and during the long run yesterday!! I feel pretty good in general. That is only the first or second recovery run since I've been here that I feel like was actually a true recovery pace, no pushing it at any point.

5:30PM- weight lifting and core session. Foam rolling afterwards.

It feels like fall today!! Mile warm up to the lower fields, then 6x1000m, 4x200m, 2 mile cool down. The thousands were supposed to be at 6:40 pace, or 4:10, but splits were 4:09/4:08/4:05/4:08/4:04. 1 minute between each. 200's were at 40sec each. I feel good about this workout! It didn't kill me like those 800's the other day did, but I feel like I got a solid workout in. That'll probably be our last workout this week since our next meet is Friday!

Ice bath later.

Well, cut a few seconds off of last weekend's race. I'm not very happy about it though. I ran a 19:42 on this course at state my senior year, and while I know that was my peak, I was really hoping that I was fast enough now to hit near that and be in the low 19's at my peak. My legs felt like deadweight though. Just feeling a little discouraged.
