Today I did a 2.5 mile warm up then some hurdles, and drills.  Then I had 3x1000 with 2 min recovery in between and 3x200 with one and a half min recovery.  I hit all my 200 splits!  I was a little off on all my 1000.  the first 1000 i got was 3:34 then 3:40 then 3:37.  I felt good but i think I could have done better!  I really liked this workout!  then 2 mile cool down with plyobata and core and stretch.  I liked doing the one forever long plank because i could actually feel it burning.  

am- 3miles easy

pm- ran out on the arizona strip(6 miles).  I felt good and the run went by really fast.  

so today I went to hot pilates with rachel and chloe.  Lately my hip has been a little wierd,  It doesnt bother me when I run but it aches through out the day.  Ive been stretching, rolling, icing, and heating so i decided to take a little break. anyways, todays workout was good.  the tempo runs are getting a lot easier then they used to be.  i think i got a little further than last time, which was my goal for today.  Afterwards I did a cool down with some stretching! 

kenyan run.  

2.5 mile warmup.  then we did a few strides and jogged to the 200 mark.  I did 3 sets of 2x200 with 200 recovery and 1x800 with 800 recovery.  I really liked this workout.  i was a little fast on all my 200s.  and I was 5 seconds slow on my first and second 800s.  my split for the 200 was :39 and I usually got between :35 and :38.  My 800 split was 2:37 and I got 2:42 for the first and second set then I got a 2:41 my last 800. after the workout we did a little over a mile cooldown then stretched.

Me and rachel decided to run a new trail.  we started up the first hill and saw a bunch of bones of cows that had been eaten.  then we got up the second hill and we were headed up the third hill when we look up and two HUGE dogs come running down after us!  I really wanted to run away but we stood there and didnt move.  they stopped and ran a little ways back up the hill then the dogs just starred at us! so we didnt finish that trail.... anyways we walked back down the hill and found a different trail.  then of course we ran into a herd of longhorn cows.  they looked more like bulls but they starred us down too so we had to turn around again.  we also ran into a lot of other things but the dogs and bulls were the most exciting.  lets just say it took us about two hours to finish this run. :)
