Workout was a 10 mile long run "with a fast finish." Took the first half easy, maybe 8-8:30 pace, then gradually sped up into a 7:15 last 2 miles. Those last 2 miles kind of hurt honestly. The rest felt nice though, and I felt good about it afterwards!

2 miles warm up, then a workout of 3k, 2k, 1k. 3k & 2k were just over race pace, at target 4:16-19 pace. Ended up being 4:06-12 per K, so more like at race pace. The 1k was faster, at 3:55. We did these at Milliken park, which was really nice as a change of scenery if nothing else because we always do our interval workouts around the practice football fields. Coach Harris said this will be our last effort this hard before conference. Ahhh! We will probably only have like 2 more workouts, both slightly easier than today.

Cooled down afterwards, but too quickly I'll admit because it was like 12:30 and I had a test in my 1 o clock class to get to. So I got back to our car and jumped in and went immediately to class afterwards, which sucked because once I left class I realized I was sooo stiff since I really didn't cool down properly and had to just sit down all the sudden for an hour and a half. Ice bath after class.

4 miles of negative splits today! We started at like 8:05 and ended up around 6:35 for the last mile, averaging out a 7:21 I believe. I felt fantastic today!! I hope I'll feel this good at conference - I just felt like no matter how much we picked it up it didn't phase me. Nice to have some low mileage today.

Weights afterwards.

6 mile recovery run, 8:05 pace. Everyone stayed together today, which was awesome. I love my team! Came back to the lockerroom after that and did some abs before leaving for class.

Warmed up to the lower fields & had a moderate workout day. We did 2 miles worth of alternating 200's. The fast 200's were 38-40 seconds, and then the slow ones inbetween were a steady jog, maybe 50-52. So we did a mile of that and finished at 6:18, then 3 minutes rest, and then another mile finishing at 6:16 I think. 5x30sec sprints afterwrards, which was suprisingly difficult. I just don't have much footspeed so in conjunction with the 200's, my legs were pretty tired. 2 mile cool down and abs afterwards.
