Easy 6 miles, 1000 repeats tomorrow. My legs have been super heavy for the past couple days, most likely because of iron. I ran out. So I got more today :)

Oh the joy of death. It bekons like your awkward aunt who you look forward to seeing but once you visit you have had your fill for a while. Until those visits start to grow on you and you start to look forward to the tangible awkwardness and uncomfortable atmosphere conjured by never-ending small talk. Oh, did I say death? I meant speed. Particularly 1000 repeats followed by fast 400's. What a coincidence, that's what we did today! Lol the workout was 5 1000's at goal pace for NXR (just under 5) and 3 400's, the first one being at mile pace and dropping 2 seconds every lap. Rest was 3 min between teh 1000's and 2 min between the 400's. I decided to just put myself out there and run with Michael and see what I could do since this was my first speed workout with the team since summer. My splits were 3:06,3:03,3:08,3:10,3:09,68,68,65. The first two I hung with Mike pretty good but from then on I dropped off a bit. I was hurting. Nevertheless I pushed through! From there I was able to stick with Chuck for the most part. He's a good guy. My apologies to him. He knows why lol. I kept right on pace for the 1000's, except the 4th one was 5:03 pace... big whoop. When the 400's came I was about ready to collapse and die on the track. Idk how I did those. I'm glad I was able to drop time the last one, that was tough. Shoutout to the team because I love them and I'm pumped for NXR.

Pre-footlocker today. I was dead tired from Sadie's last night so that was definitely a struggle. I had a good start, not too fast, but somehow I ended up in the lead pack next to Casey and McKay. That was exciting. At least for the first half mile 😂. My splits were 5:07, 5:24, then my watch died. I averaged 5:13 so I closed faster so that was great. I split roughly a 15:40 3-mile and 16:10 5k. Ish. So definitely pr'd for both of those and an improvement from state. Which is crazy because we had a very difficult speed workout a few days ago and I was super duper tired and it was freezing. Very happy with it, especially since I got a medal!

Speed today... I didn't survive the workout. Warmed up .63, then got started. The workout was 200, 400, 800, 1600, 800, 400, 200. The 200s were 800 pace, the 400s were mile pace, the 800s were 2-mile pace, and the mile was 5k pace. My splits were 26,65,(this is where it gets ugly) 2:32, 5:37, and Jamie told me to stop. I had a little asthma attack. My breathing had been abnormally labored the whole time. It got really bad in the 800 and I was having trouble breathing period. Jamie told me to adjust the mile accordingly, and that 5:37 was labored... So she told me to drop. I made my way to the locker room to take my inhaler. Shoutout to everyone who was able to actually complete the workout. Which is everyone.

Good slow run today, my legs are still pretty dead. We'll see how they feel in the workout tomorrow. Also hopefully my lungs hold up 😂 I'm a wreck

Also, I officially signed to ISU today so that was grand!

I actually had a good workout today so that was a plus. We warmed up to the gully and did a ladder workout on the MCT up the side closest to smiths. The workout was 3x(100m,200m,300m) with a quarter mile jog in between sets. Within the set the rest was just jogging back down. I was able to push it with Michael the whole workout so that was awesome. My lungs didn't totally give out on me, but they did hurt and close up a little bit during the cooldown so we kept that slow. I'm staying vigilant with those inhalers. Shoutout to Guppy for supplying me with extra elecrolytes today, that made all the difference.

Night run after the dinner. It was most definitely a good time. We started at the hinckleys' house and warmed up to the school, did 1.5 miles of speed changes around the track, then finished up miles and headed back to their house. I've got a strategy for nxr and I'm super excited.

This race was so ridiculously horrible. I went out in around 5:02ish which was perfect. Then I choked so hard. My legs just wouldn't move. Horrible horrible race. I know I'm capable of so much more, I just guess it wasn't my day.

6 miles. Legs are still dead, idk why... 6:55 ap. I threw a couple 6:20's in there to wake up the legs a little bit, we'll see how they feel tomorrow for the 10k. I drove down to a spot further along the trail I've been running on so I could explore further down a bit. It was cool. I listened to eat and run some more so that was a plus. Scott Jurek is a beast

Warmed up a mile, then got going! My plan was to start at 6:00 and drop 10 seconds every mile depending on how I was feeling. My splits were 5:50, 5:43, 5:40, 6:01, 6:19, 5:57, and the last .2 was at 5:03 pace. That 5th mile was a little rough, it's a gradual uphill the whole mile. I'm still getting back on top of sodium intake and hydration, as well as reevaluating my daily nutrition, or lack thereof. I didn't feel quite as dead today but the legs were definitely still a little heavy. Cool down 1 mile.

7 miles today, I went down a much safer road than yesterday so that was a plus. I found a gorgeous golf course and a huge river with a stick path by it. Driving to Vegas tonight and home tomorrow. This was probably the last run in shorts and a t-shirt for a while... Except footlocker. 7:18 ap
