AM- 1.6 Miles in the morning. I was feeling really good. Hope our workout goes well today! 

PM- yayayayayayayay for workouts!!!! So i get to travel this weekend which is YAY, but since im racing this weekend, im not doing 4 days of speed which is a little sad cuz i was sooooooooooo pumped for it. So the group that is traveling did a 2 mile warmup, and then 2x1000, 2x800, 2x500, 2x200. It was seriously so good!!!! i felt pretty good the whole time except the 2nd 8 was a little rough. Anyways, cooled to 8.4 so that i could hit 10 :)

Also Kasandra had a bee on her and it scared me alot. I hate those things.

Also Anatomy might kill me over. I dont know what possesed me to take it during track season cuz we are already traveling alot and its only worse in outdoor. Its fine, ill get over it

I am really hoping to hit a 5:10 (or close to) converted so that i can go to the Husky Classic at UW next weekend.

AM- 2 miles and steeple

Pm- 6.5 miles. It was seriously so nice today, the perfect weather ever! it should stay exaclty like that allllll year. 60 degrees, minimal wind, perfect!!! anyways, 50 percent. I did 8 mile dikes, but cut back to make it 6.5 since i went 10 yesterday and im racing this weekend and i didnt want to go 10 again. 

We are leaving friday morning, racing friday night and then alllll saturday we just get to chill and go on a nice long run through the dope dope dope trails of flagstaff while everyone else gets to race. Think i might move there someday for the trails.

Yayayayayaya for finishing freaking hard workouts and feeling amazing afterwards!!!!!!! so today we did a mile warm and thennnnnnnnn 15x400 with an all-out mile after. we kinda split the 400's into different speeds. the first 5 i was consistently around 87/88 and we had 45 second rest. i could have gone a bit faster, but i didnt know how my body was going to feel on the last ones, so i kinda chilled and just wanted to hit the back end of the pace window. im glad i did. the next 5 i hit 84/85 which was right at the tail end of pace again. i hit 85 twice, which was a second slow, but it was still ok. we had 60 seconds recovery on these ones. The next 5 we had 90 seconds recovery. i hit 83's pretty consistenly which was good and once again at the tail end of the window. but im glad i chilled the first half of the workout because even though i was a few seconds behind the main group of girls the first half, i was still in the window and by the last ones i was with the group the whole time and picking off some of the girls who started too fast. Then we had 90 seconds recovery and then an all out mile!! i hit a 6:20 which isnt awful, but not great. then i cooled to 9 with sam. 

Shoutout to Angie for literally hitting my pr in the mile after 15 400's haha. shes so fast i hope i can be as fast as her someday. 

Also props to me for being one of only 5 girls to finish the whole workout. that made me really happy actually. I know im progressing and im so excited to see what i can accomplish with running.

AM- 2 Mile shakeout in page AZ. Speaking of az, ready to kick some tonight

Yayayayaya for racing!! Warmed up a mile and did our warmups. Then the race! I got the worst start ever but it ended up being ok. I felt smooth and got back up with KaSandra and just sat on her shoulder for most of it. I was with her through 4 laps and she kicked a little better than me. Ended up 5:14 converted and I am sooo beyond stoked!! That’s a pr and it felt sooo good and that’s off of a tough week of workouts and I felt like there was more. Definitely keeping the avocado socks cuz they are lucky. Excited for the rest of szn  

Cooled 4.5 with sam. She’s my favorite. We ran on this road that I ran on with my high school team once when we were going to nxr  I remember it real good cuz we were screaming Christmas songs at the beginning of November the whole run and everyone was laughing at us. It was a good time and a good memory to remember  

My shin is hurting from steeple. I need to ice it and take care of it ASAP 

Also shoutout to my parents and family for driving to come watch me race for 5 minutes. They’re the realest

10 Miles in FLAGSTAFF with sam! Still have the best trails. It was a good run, but the last 2 my legs were sooooo tired haha. Good thing I’m done and just get to chill til Monday. 

Also it’s crazy to me that 10 Miles doesn’t really even feel long anymore. Like it used to be this huge long run that I dreaded every Monday morning cuz it was so long but it seems so normal now, and it’s also faster. Love how that happens. 

Excited to chill at the meet today :) 

PM- mile shakeout with sam at the meet before our bus ride

New high mileage week
