Mile shakeout b4 practice and then practice. Well, becuase of the snow, we couldnt do our workout on the track cuz it was super went and kinda slushy. we got split into groups today and im a little confused about all the workouts but yeah. I was with the 5k group today with angie, julieta, sharlie, morgan, madison fruchey and ashley. We did 8x 3:30 minute pickups on the road with 90 second recovery. I was fine the first 3 and slowly got a little more behind. Its a good boost that coach believes i can run with the fastest girls on our team, but also a little discouraging cuz i am not quite as fast as them and get dropped alot. ill get there. finished to 9 miles after. 

I definitely need to be doing hw rn, but i stink at accomplishing anything. if worst comes to worst, ill just drop out of college and live in the library. no one would notice.

Am- Mile at steeple practice and mile afterwards. 

Pm- 7.75 miles: 6.75 miles @ 50% pace. honestly, one of the BEST 50's i have ever done. I felt so great the whoooole time. we did cross hollows and we averaged 7:10 pace even with the long hill at the end. I was cruising up the hill with maddy and it felt so AMAZING!! i can honestly say that i have never led the main group of girls, but i was today and it felt so great! after wards, we had 15 strides and i did mine with Sam. Ive been focusing on form (mostly arms) alot when i am running fast and i feel like i am getting decently better at it! 

Ice bath after with sam and emma. It was so cold but they have these cool feet warmers (like wet suits for your feet) and they are the most amazing thing ever invented cuz honestly the only bad thing about ice baths are my cold toes, but its wayyy more bearable with them on.

I am honestly beyond sore today and I have no clue why, started the morning with some yoga to try to loosen up. I may hit a mile shakeout before practice. We’ll see how the after noon goes 

Pm- 8 Miles total, 2 Mile warm, 5x500 meter repeats with 3 minutes recovery, and then 3 Miles cool with sam. I felt actually sooo good today! I was consistent and felt great. 94,95,95,98,95. He had me go with the 1500 group today and It was a good time. It’s a good confidence booster to go with them. 

WEIGHTS WEIGHTS WEIGHTS!!! gotta love em

Just one mile this morning after steeple cuz my left shin was hurting me.  Iced for a long while after. I really don’t want to cause an injury

PM- we did the best thing ever today! we had just a 50% and it was so windy, and we wanted to go down hill, so we decided we wanted to run allllll the run down hill and with the wind. me and kasandra and sam each drove a mile and then sierra and marlee drove the rest cuz there were at half miles. It was a perfect mini ragnar!!! it was sooo fun!! shin felt a little better but still hurt. keepin it chill for the next few days. 

I fell asleep in our tiny chair and it was sooo uncomfortable, idk how i even feel asleep

6 Miles total. 2 Miles warm, 10x45 second pickups with 90 sec recovery and then cool to 6. My whole body was sooo tired  today which was a little frustrating, but I just keep having to remind myself that I can’t have a good run every day and I hadn’t had a bad run in a while. I ice bathed after. Also my shin stul hurt but not in comparison to yesterday. Kept the run to 6 cuz I felt so lousy and the 7:15 pace was killing me. Definitely haven’t taken a short easy run in a while.

11 Miles with Sam and Marlee. Kept it real chill which was super nice, maybe even a little too chill but it’s fine and I needed an easy day. Averaged 8:15 which is slower than I’ve gone in a loooong while but it’s still fine. Ran 8 Mile dikes, which is wayyyy better than 6 Mile dikes tbh, and then dropped off mar cuz she was doing 8 and then added 3 with sam. Overall good run. Nice to chill it out. Felt way better than yesterday. Ready for 4 days of speed next week
