First day of "Awesome Week" today, and I'm super duper excited to say that so far it's be pretty awesome! Today we did whistle hills. Warmed up about a mile to "Wahoo Hill" (name cred to Guppy) where we did three sets of 15,20,25 seconds with our rest just being the jog back. Overall it was definitely one of our easier workouts, but it's still great and I tried to push myself. I felt really strong too so that was a win. After we finished up low mileage and did abs and hips.

 Today we ran "the kicker" for day two of AWESOME week. Mile down to the start to warm up. Before I wasn't exactly super motivated, but shoutout to  Matt for getting me in the right spirit haha. Started out not too crazy fast - a good pace. Felt really good until like halfway up the hill (no duh it's a hill) but I did a little surge and didn't get too off pace. I lost focus for a little bit after the hill and I think that took a few seconds off. I tried to catch Dylan and Squirrel and did... for awhile. But in the end Dylan out-kicked me and I'm not really sure if Squirrel did too. Oh well, it was still a PR for me (by about 11 seconds) and was especially exciting because I finally broke 10 minutes and came in at a 9:54. Shoutout to Mario and Kaylee because I think they both PRd and they rocked it. After we just finished up mileage and did abs and hips (and pigeon pose) and then we hit the SOLW. It was cold.

Day four of awesome week and still going... barely. Jk I was actually feelin decent today. We did four mile repeats on the grass for our workout and let me just say that I do NOT enjoy mile repeats. Nevertheless, I wasn't upset with my times. I think my times were 6:13, 6:15, 6:13, and 6:04. With five minutes rest inbetween. So solid, but I died. After did a half mile cool down and abs and such. Shoutout to da girls for furthering "the vision" today with their hard work. Love 'em.

I did in fact run today (@Collin). Twas low recovery, but I felt pretty great considering how hard yesterday's workout was. Ran out past smith's halfway down the dip thing and then back. Not a super good route but whatevs. After did abs and hips and some pushups. 

Later had a way fun time with some of the LP and PG kids. Shoutout to Zack for organizing it!

Last day of awesome week today (crying rn). Seriously I love awesome week tho. Wu and then we did the legendary hill ladder workout up airport 3x100,200,300,400,500. The first set was hard just cuz I think my legs hadn't woken up yet, but I actually felt lots better on the second and third set. I felt really strong the last 500m which was surprising haha. Honestly the workout was not as bad as the last time I did it, but it was still pretty hard. Overall awesome week was a huge success and I'm proud of what I did. Hopefully I can bring it into my race next weekend.  

Also shoutout to all the boys on the team and especially Parker (aka Chuck) for a super fun xc hoco!
