Today was my hardest speed workout of the week. The planned workout was 8 x 400's with an average of 65 seconds each. I had a 400 recovery in between each one, and then any additional walking I needed to get a full recovery. The purpose of this workout is for me to run at my goal mile pace and be able to lock that pace into my legs so that once my stamina can reach that level, my legs will already be ready. I was able to stick very close to on pace, hitting my first 6 in 65 exactly. My seventh was in 66, and I was able to close out running a hard minute flat for the last one. I felt very exhausted after I finished the workout.

Today was a nice recovery from the crazy workout I did yesterday. I've got two days left until the Asics Invite! I'm hoping that I can get my mile time pretty close to the state qualifying time. It should be easier since I don't have to worry about qualifying in the 3200 anymore. My legs are feeling pretty good right now.

Today was an easy run to recover from yesterday's meet. My legs were still a little weak from yesterday, so I tried to keep from running too fast. I averaged about 6:30/ mile pace for the first three miles, but then I hit the hills which slowed up my pace to just over 7:00/ mile. I finished the run in just around 33 minutes.

My first 10K ever right here! It wasn't quite as long or hard as I thought it would be.

Long time no see. I was wondering when you'd come out of the Lost Sheep flock. Congratulations on the performance. (Although we'd like to read about the details). Also congratulations on the school records, those are very solid. I look at your times, and I feel a lot of hope for you. I think you can be world-class if you consistently train right and take care of yourself.

Today was the dreaded workout of the week: mile repeats. It was very very windy outside, so if I wanted to run fast, it would have to be inside. I chose the treadmill over the AF Rec Center, because watching Forever Strong inside my own home while I ran seemed more appealling than a crowded 12 lap per mile track. After warming up, I did 4 x 1 mile repeats at 5:00 each (the fastest my treadmill could go), with a half mile recovery in between (about 4:00). It hurt since it was my first speed workout since state, but I felt good knowing that I hadn't lost really any fitness after state.

Nice easy 6 miles after the tough mile repeat workout that I did yesterday. I was without my Garmin today because it was DEAD, so I do not know my total time or pace. Generally, I am more relaxed when I have no watch, but the cold weather was a little bit unnerving, so I must've been running faster than I thought because I hurt pretty bad by mile 2. I had good form running up the hill by AF Canyon. That was the focus of my run today, pumping my arms up the hills, so I felt like it was a success.

My first long run for the week since the state championships last Wednesday. It felt good to run long for the first time in a while. It was fairly hilly at first, running on Pipeline, but dropped the pace once I hit Bridal Veil and second to last mile was in 5:04 with most of it under 5:00/mile pace.
