somewhat summer-like saturdalies!

The temperature is supposed to soar into the 60s again today (it hit 70 the other day!) Yet another shirtless run!

Last workout with the XC team this year. Even though most of our seasons are over, there is still workouts because some of the team made nationals, so today there is the last workout, a 6 mile time trial to compare with the same workout in the beginning of the year.

3 mile warm up
Strides and Drills
6 mile time trial
3 mile cool down

My goal is around 35 minutes or so I think, depending on how hilly the course is.

I went down to Dalplex (athletic facility for the school) and looked around, and nobody was there, so I guess there wasn't practice today.

I'll do an easy 7 later in that case, followed by strides.

no running today either. im packing and going shopping for my 3 day washington d.c. trip with my school. im so excited (:

cross training.
i'm going to the YMCA a little later


(and rd, you are soo lucky. you're like summer. we just got our first snowfall of the year. it's not to much and it doesn't stay on the streets but its still covering the grass)
oh how i love Wisconsin.

Hey, at least it isn't 70s pretty much the whole winter like it is here.

Did a XC 5K today. Got 21:45 on a really slow course. Not that hilly but half of the course was sand (not hard packed sand, more like grainy beach sand). My coach said this is about a minute slower than a road 5K which gave me some hope.

4 easy.

We had sectionals today.
It didn't go well. Everyone ran a lot slower than normal and we didn't qualify for groups.

^that stinks...is your season done?

anyways, 4 easy in 31:17; felt great today, kept pace nice and easy

Yeah, that means it's officially over

easy 5

I went to regionals, but didn't run because of my knee.

Maybe bike trainer or swimming later, plus core, upper, and PT exercises

10.5 miles 7.23 pace
not that bad
recovery run

Done on Grass:

3km warm up
drills/strides
9X1min at 800m race pace with 2min recovery
3.5km warm down

15K in 1:32. Very hot (89-93F) and all of it was hills. Not my favorite race ever
