Keep Calm and Run On

Long run by myself after I got home. I felt pretty good. 

3 miles in the morning before school. Then a speed workout- a mile, 2 800's and 4 400's. Tomy and Chris helped pace me. I struggled to make it through the workout. My legs hurt, I wanted to puke and my lungs and chest were really tight. I don't know if it is coming back to elevation or spending a weekend on a bus but it was a brutal workout. It helped to have the boys to chase but I did not feel good. I was happy when it was over. 

3 miles in the morning. Ran to Liberty and did a 4 mile tempo. Tomy was with me for the first two miles, then I was on my own. I was supposed to hit 6:15 and I finished with a 6:08 average. It hurt and I was tired but it was good for me to push by myself for the last half.  

6 miles in the morning. Shriners run and 2 300's to finish. I felt really tired and still my calves and hamstrings are super tight. 

3 miles in the morning. Mile warm up, 2 miles speed changes and mile cool down in the afternoon. 

2 mile shake out before getting on the plane. My race was late at night so it had luckily cooled down somewhat. I got a warm up and was just starting drills when the race was starting... whoops. I took the lead and my goal was to gap the group. I felt good and was on pace the first 2 laps. Then it got really hard. My pace slipped and I was struggling to keep going. It was hard to push alone and it didn't really feel like a race. I finished first, but wasn't too happy with my time. But oh well. The top 5 in the 3200 were all Utah girls! Yeah we dominate distance.... I got a watch for winning and another watch for winning the best distance performance of the meet.
