A run begins the moment you forget you are running

5x800s today. It was really hard for me today. I was really struggling. I pushed hard though, and ended up with times of 3:40, 52, 53, 36, 56. It felt like everytime I was improving, but really, I only improved 1 time. Maybe just because I was struggling, and so it just felt like I was going harder with each one.

1.5 workout warmup, 4x100s. I hurt pretty bad. I didn't do very well, and was having a really hard time breathing.

4 miles

4 miles into Green Springs with 8xStriders after.

workout warmup to Harts and back. I did 2x1000, I felt great on it, but I think I killed myself. On the second one, I couldn't breath enough, and was dying, so I was done after that.

Easy 3 into Green Springs with 8xstriders after. Felt AWESOME!

2 mile race warmup. I felt awful during the race. I felt like I was going to puke, and I couldn't breathe. Lately I've been having a super duper hard time. I didn't do near as well as I wished.

1.5 workout warmup with 4x400s. This was my most consistent workout of the entire season. My times were 1:28, 1:30, 1:29, and 1:29. Usually my times bounce all over the place, but these were all within three seconds of each other, I was super happy. .75 mile cooldown.

easy 3 with 5 small hill sprints. Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL run. It felt soooo nice. We went at such a slow easy pace, it felt so nice.

1 mile race warm and cool.

Race report-Felt AWESOME! My goal was to get sub 7. I wanted to stick around 1:30-1:40 for each lap, which I did. It went by so fast, all of a sudden I was coming up on the beginning on the last lap and I was like, WOW! I'm almost done! I just gave it all I had. This was one of my best races/time trials this season. It felt so good. I'll admit I was really worried for it because my legs hurt super duper bad during school today. 

excited to be out here with the team. Easy 3 when we got back to the hotel

3 miles on the course, it was super cold but felt really good.

I'm not sure what my time is exactly because it wasn't posted on the board, I'm not sure why. But Mitch said that I finished around then. I did not do very well at this race. I tried super duper hard, but I did not feel well. I woke up with no appetite, bad cramps, and feeling dizzy. I tried to stomach down some food anyway, but I didn't get very much. I was really nervous to race. It was really cold, but once you got going, it felt great. I loved running through the water, that was my favorite part. I stayed with Carli and Megan for about half the race, then started to lose them. I felt so dizzy, and whenever I would try to start going faster, I got this weird sensation I can't really describe. Coming across the finish felt so good to be done, but I felt like I was going to fall over. I got past the line just far enough to almost hit a pole of the Gatorade tent, and a lady had to come stop me before I did...kinda embarrassing. I felt a little better after putting my head between my knees and closing my eyes. Everything was spinning for a while, but then it went away. I'm happy, but also not happy with my race. I'm glad I was able to push even though I felt rotten, but disappointed I didn't go harder. Nice race everyone, you did spectacular =)
