Thursday

4 x (4 x 200), with the first set at 2 mile pace, then mile, then 800, then the last set was 2 mile, mile, 800, 400. It all felt very good! Everything was also too fast, the 2 miles were 43/44, the miles were around 41 (and started with 39! oops!) and the 800s were 35/36, and the last 400 was 33. The middle schoolers were always in the way though, they need to stay out of lane 1! I warmed up for 17 minutes, and cooled down for like 37 i think...

long run

I ran in the morning today and ran around Waban 1 1/2 times, then turned around and did it in reverse, so it was really more like 3x around waban. Fun stuff, and it ended up being 78 minutes. Then I did 5 strides!

Later I ran to practice with Jessie and then ran back home with Kevin and crew, so that added on something like 20 minutes, but it was like 8 hours later so it felt fine!

rough go all around...

unfortunately, I did not break 2:30. Another stupid first two hundred kindly prevented me from doing so. As a result I ran 2:33. Again. My reaction: not happy.

yes, i am currently procrastinating on history...

but its ok if its to blog about running, right? Anyways, I am very very very nervous for tomorrow. 2:30 (well, 2:31 for that matter) has been a very big wall for me and I REALLY want to get over it! But I'm worried about pacing (especially after that horrific instance on Saturday) and I'm really quite worried! Still, I feel like I have to break 2:30 sometime, so Milton might as well be the meet! 2:28 here I come!!

And as for today - I went on a pleasant 53 minute run (B-10) with Brennan and Nina. Nina came for the first 5 minutes, which was nice and exciting and I miss running with her tons! Then Brennan did the first half hour with me, and I finished up on the brook path. fun stuff. also 6 down hill strides. coolio.

still procrastinating...for all who are interested, it took me five minutes to write this post because I REALLY don't want to study! :)

sunday

so since last night was such a long day, I accidentally fell asleep at 9:20 while studying history, and woke up at 6:45! So I went for about an hour run around waban - two loops since I live close - and it was very pleasant! I wasn't sore or anything from yesterday too, which was nice!!! People do strange things though, on Sunday mornings: I was running around waban and saw people camped out by the lake, and it was only 40 degrees! gah! I think I woke them up though, because as soon as I passed, the tents started moving! hahaha

Relay Meet

Today was the relay meet. It ended up being an 11 hour day leaving at 7:15 and returning at 6! Whew! It was fun though! I went out WAYYYY too hard for my 800 ( in the 4x8) and kinda died after that! My 200 split was 32. oof. Anyways, I came back in 2:33, which is faster than anything yet this season and hopefully means I can go sub 2:30 on Tuesday if I don't go out too fast again! I then cooled down for about an hour because I felt good and had nothing else to do!

Friday

another very short day - today I only went for 35:45!!! I arrived back at the highschool BEFORE 40 minutes, and decided to STOP! I think I'm making some progress!
