drills, and then a mile warm and 5 miles @ 60%. quite possibly one of the best workouts of my college career. Coach split us into two groups. My group was Morgan, Haley, Sam, Brighton, Me, Sarah. our goal pace was 6:25-35. we averaged 6:28. Not only was i with the group the whole time, i even lead the group for alot of it. I ended up just a few seconds behind sam, morgan and brighton, but they picked it up at the end and i just kept it consistent. Anyways, it was soooo good and im so happy with it! cooled a mile

achilles excercises, and then weights. its the hard week of the rotation, which is good, just hard. 

we have 3-4 days of effort this week, but im going to be cautious. I will not do it if i am gonna end up injured. i am gonna stay healthy, even if that means im gonna stay slow. No more of this injury bs, it makes me soooo ornery when i cant run because of stupid stuff

tough workout today. mile warm and then strides and a 3k. the first 5 laps of the 3k were really solid. like a little too solid, then i died kinda hard, but it was still a good effort. ended up hitting 11:3x, idk the actual second. then a lap. and 6x400, 5x300, 3x200. the 400's were tough but still a good effort. 76-77 average, and just a bit off the main group, usually with haley. the 300's were really good. i was with the main group the whole time and hit 59 on most of them. the 200s were really hard, which was a bummer cuz usually those are my favorite haha. it feels good to be working on leg speed again tho! little less than a mile cool to get to 7.5. 

sooooo sore today. 

Not doing the workout tomorrow, which i think is a good call on my part. I want to stay healthy, and i think that building my mileage slowly and doing a zillion workouts at the same time is not the best call for me. I am glad that i feel confident enough talking to coach about what is smart for me without feeling like he is thinking i am just trying to get out of stuff. I hope it pays

Wasn’t gonna do the workout, but I’m not racing this weekend, and I’m glad I did it. Me and coach decided on three days of effort this week. Started with mile warmup and then 3 miles at fast 50% (6:55,6:56,7:30 around the parking lot by the hill). Then 1x700 m hill in 3:10 (that was supposed to be a 400). Only 4 of us even went all the way up, cuz everyone just stopped for whatever reason. Then 10x15 second hill sprints, followed by a 400 meter uphill in 1:44, right with Morgan, Madison and Haley.. I love the long up hills, it seems so easy to just keep a steady pace all the way up, and it’s so fun to be one of the best girls at it. The shorter sprints were a little harder. I think part of that is the fact that I haven’t done anything fast, fast in a year. I think it will come, it will just take a little bit of working at it. 

Easy in weights today. Just 2 sets of everything:)) lots of rolling, and strengthening stuff with the trainers.
