Morning- WOW!! Tough work out today for sure! 2.5 mile warm up. 6x1 mile repeats with 3 minute recovery in between each one. 2 mile cool down. But goal time was 6:20. The 800 meter course loop consists of a little hill, and a lot of grass. But makes it tougher for me. Anyways. Coach wanted this as more of a progressive work out. Start out slower, and get faster as we go. So times were 6:26, 6:24, 6:19, 6:22 (I died off on this one), 6:13, and coach told us to push it in hard. And I finished it with a 5:51 last mile. I was proud of myself for this work out! I almost felt like fainting on the cool down, but I loosened up after a mile on it. And the car wash went pretty amazing today! We washed tons of cars, and eanred tons of tips! :)

Afternoon- 3 miles easy with David just around the neighborhood. It was good, but I was kinda stuggling, due to not stretching this morning. So I stretched good after this run. And it felt good. I was feeling my legs, and they feel strong!

Morning- Nice and easy 3 miles this morning. I was pretty tired this morning.

Afternoon- 1.5ish mile warm up. 3x2 mile tempo sets today on the region course. It was a progressive tempo. So each one got faster, and the 2nd mile on each one was supposed to be faster. I did arlight on the 1st one, miles were 6:28, and 6:14. 5 minute recovery between each one. It was super humid, and hot today. But the 2nd set I couldn't get myself going. First mile was 6:20, and the last one mile on this one was not solid, but 6:21. I fell of pace a lot on this one. And the last one, I just said,"go for it!". So I did. I really tried my best on this one, and hit 6:18 on 1st mile, and the 2nd mile coach ran with me, and got me going a little. And I surprisingly surged with him everytime he went faster. And the pace got faster, and faster, and faster. And I made a move with 300 meters to go, and pushed it in hard with a 5:59.58! :D That sub six made me pretty happy on that grass, and on the last set, and the last mile! I then watched the race, and some great races that came from PV today! But I ended up doing around a 3 mile cool down to get mileage in. Good work out for sure! It is building confidence! :)

Morning- Nice and easy 3 miles this morning. Legs felt heavy...

Afternoon- 6 miles with striders. Today was supposed to be a recovery run, and it didn't feel like it at all. It felt like we were flying. And we were not really going that fast. I complained a little about not being a recovery, but it bascially was. We ran up foremaster, and that hill was pretty killer the last 200 meters just running up it, but good run. Striders were rather fun as well! I felt soo tired today, and sluggish. But I managed through.

Morning- Nice and solid 3 miles this morning! I felt a little better this morning, because I basically blacked out from 6:30-9:30 (p.m.) As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. And I was then up for another hour or so. And out again for the night. My body really needed the rest. But it felt great! Plyo's were good as well.

Afternoon- 1.5 mile warm up today. And 1/1's today or 60/60's today. I struggled today, I don't know if it was due to the heat, or just feeling eh the last couple of days. But I felt like I had a pretty good work out. I was supposed to run 12 cones each one (300 meters) about. And I did 12 repeats. I was honestly dead by the 10th one today, and usually that doesn't happen till 11-13. So I don't know what is up with my body lately. But it's just feels soo beat up. During the day no energy, and just tired. I am eating, and hydrating enough. But sleep is lacking a little, so I will work on that part! 1 mile cool down. Good work! Taking some positives with this work out is: I started out faster, even the first 5. And I picked up the pace when it was slacking (taking my turn to lead), and pushed through the sluggish legs, and body! So I am oroud of myself, but today I had to use the bathroom way too many times today... It was a joke. And had weights after. Those were good.

Morning- Nice and easy 3 miles.

Afternoon-2 miles during the runathon. And another 2 for just running.

Early Morning- Ran an 8 miler on the track. That was very painful.... 32 laps! And another mile for the sprints in all dash for cash. Both 59's!

Night- Ran an easy 3 miles to get mileage.
