Wednesday

Training Run
8 miles in Sequence

Was going to do 10 miles again today but once again my legs were very tired. Also my foot was compensating for my blister the past few days so that has been making me run a little funny. Felt crappy today

Tuesday

Training Run
9 miles in Boost8

Thought we were going to have a long run today but coach decided a training run. Was planning on doing at least 10 but my legs were very tired still so I cut it at 9

Monday

Took a real easy day today which was much needed because my legs were tired bois

Sunday (Day 2 - A10's)

Race 2
7 miles total
5 miles in Sequence

Ran the 3k. Much more disappointment. Was in the pack and felt great actually. Was tired from last night but was managing the pace very well. Between 6 to go and 5 to go I moved into second place and got ready to make my move, confident that I could win and redeem my 5k last night. They made a move at 5 to go and ONCE AGAIN I couldn't change gears. My legs wouldn't let me go faster than whatever pace I had been running the whole race, assuming 70. Not sure of my place but I wasn't close to scoring. Way more unacceptable than last night. Subtweet: Can't complain about me not being able to hang on to the move when all we have worked on is strength, not speed. I can hold 70 all day, no problem. But you try to get me to go from 70 to 65, my legs can't do it. It isn't a lack of confidence, I was extremely confident that I could win or at least podium. The lack of speed work from workouts has caused me to not be able to change gears. Just something to work on for outdoors I guess, but it would be nice to not get embarrassed by getting dropped by a kick that isn't even that fast. Heck, I closed my outdoor 10k in 60 and I can't even get faster than a damn 70 in the 3k? Something is not right.

We did win the team title so that was a positive thing.

Saturday (Day 1 - A10's)

Race 1
9 miles total
6 miles in Boost8

Had the 5k tonight. Disappointing but semi-successful. Got 6th place so I scored 3 points, and points are points. Disappointing part was that at 2k to go, Fordham kid dropped a 66 and I couldn't hang. My last several 400's were 70s. That's unacceptable. I caught the pack that made the big move, but they moved again and I had no response. Ended up pulling out 6th place which scores but not what I wanted. Just couldn't change gears to anything faster than 70. Now I'll need to redeem myself in the 3k tomorrow. Got a nasty blister on the bottom of my foot because of the SuperFeet in my spikes.

Shakeout for 1 mile earlier.

Friday (Meet Prep - Doubles)

Double
4 miles in Sequence

Did a nice 4 from my apartment in the morning. Felt pretty dead but probably because I had just gotten up.



Meet Prep
10 miles total
9.5 miles in Sequence

Did an 8 mile training run. Felt exceptionally well on the run. Then did some strides on the track but had to weave through people. Felt great on the strides though. Cool down also felt fantastic. Really excited for the 5k tomorrow, gotta do better than last year (4th place last year).

Thursday (Easy Doubles)

Double
3 miles in Sequence

Ran in the morning after my class again. Doing a shorter double and tr today to resemble an easier day two days out. Then tomorrow will be a longer and harder day to build the blood pressure back up.

Did Mud short. Felt okay today which is usually a good sign.

Wednesday

Workout
11 miles total
6 in Boost8

Workout was 12xLane8. Did two sets of 6 lane 8's. First time doing lane 8's in forever and it felt a little bit weird. Afterwards did a 5-3-2. Lane 8's were at about 72 pace and 5-3-2 was at 64 pace. Felt pretty good today.

Saturday - Scarlet and White Invitational

Race
8 miles total
6 in Boost8

Ran the 3k today. Got 3rd. Was supposed to pace off of Cory and Flynn but I couldn't keep up at that pace so I ended up running almost the whole race alone. Hit 8:29 which I am pretty happy about. Came through at 4:28 so was on good pace. If I could have had a kick or been with people I may have done better.

Did a shakeout earlier in the day
