Be the team that goes hard on the last two

morning- did 10 miles with the last 3 at a hard finish. felt pretty good for the first 7, but then i struggled a bit with the hard finish, i think it was just the accumulation of the flatness i've felt all week and also i made the dumb decision of hiking with some people who don't really have the same goals as me last night. but i hit 16:43 for the 3 miles, so not too bad.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, drills, and then we did a workout where you draw cards, and based on the card you drew, that was the length of the hill repeat we did. so we ended up doing 200, 400, 600, and 800m hill repeats. we had to get to a total of 4800 meters. i felt really good and it was a super fun workout.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- .5, drills, 7 easy with some barefoot strides after. today was a really fun run and i felt really good. super pumped for the michigan tomorrow, I WILL break 60.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, strides, michigan, 1 mile cooldown. i'll do my goal times first and then what i hit:

1600: 5:00-5:05, hit 4:58

road mile: 5:40, hit 5:37

1200: 3:41, hit 3:44

road mile: 5:40, hit 5:34

800: 2:23-2:28, hit 2:24

road mile: 5:40, hit 5:44

400 all out: goal time sub 60, hit 61.

i felt really good about the entire workout but the last 400. it sucks because i feel like i couldn't have pushed any harder, i was all out the entire 400, but i guess i'm just not a natural sprinter. but good stuff from everyone.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- .5, drills, 3 easy.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- des hells race. we all looked really good. when coach said bang i made sure i took it out conservative, and i tried not to go with pine view who always takes it out hard. i don't know my splits, but i was hurting pretty bad and with about 100m to go me and jake taylor were duking it out and i thought i had him but he threw in a little surge that just got me, good job to him. not too happy with my time i wanted sb 10, but i will go sub 10 at the pv all comers. 

had to wake up a little earlier to run cuz of work. spencer wanted to run with me too, so that was fun. we did the lonely mountain, and it was fun. i needed a fun run to kind of stop stressing, this whole running thing is getting pretty monotonous, but next week will be great, because i will break 10 on the pv all comers, and nike will be historical.

afternoon- .5 drills and 5 easy.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, drills, strides, pv all comers (2 miles) then 4x30 sec with equal rest. felt weird today. the first mile was like 5:06 and it felt slow, and the 2nd must have been slower because i finished with 10:42, but i felt like i was going way faster on the 2nd mile. oh well, didn't achieve my goal. but its alright, nike is next week and my 2 mile split will probly be way faster anyway haha. good stuff from everyone today.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 4.5 easy

went to little black mountain for our run. we ran 7.5 ish total (?) with the last 2 at tempo. we finally explored the canyon i found, it was sweet. for the tempo we packed it and went 5:34, 5:27 for 11:01, not too bad. felt good today, nike is gonna be great.

Morning-3 easy

3 easy in the morning before we left for nike

morning- 3 easy by the hotel

afternoon- 3 easy with strides on the course.

did a 2 mile warmup and raced nike. went into it wanting to qualify. i got boxed in at the very beginning and spent too much energy weaving in and out of people. didn't achieve my time or place goal, and we took 4th as a team. not too bad considering a few of us didn't feel too well. hopefully we get that at-large bid, milesplit thinks we should. good job to everyone today.

morning- rest

afternoon- we did the mile time trial. i got 4:42, which wasn't at all the time i was hoping for. i think my problem was that i didn't really know how to pace myself, i haven't ran the mile in a while. oh well. good stuff from everyone today.

morning 3 easy

Afternon .5 drills and we ran the ridge. Felt good but my legs can feel the hills now. 

morning- ran 2.5, drills, then we were gonna do 12x30 sec webb hill repeats, but coach told us we were doing 14 after the 10th one, i think it was good for me mentally, i kind of pictured it as another hill at footlocker (or nike nationals) and it was a great workout. felt like crap which is good with hill repeat workouts, if you feel good on those you're not doing it right. good stuff from everyone today.

Morning- met with tanner to run 6 easy. Felt really tired but good run
