1 mile cool down

Felt really good after not really doing workouts for a week.  The wind was really blowing hard but it was good practice!

It was a really nice, fun, and sandy trail.  Felt good and excited for friday/saturday!

P.S. we also had team pics«

2.5 mile warm up and the usual drills.

3x400 at 1:16 pace and for the most part i hit my times i might have been a second off but they felt good (and fast!).   then 1x800... lets just say it was a bit off but i guess it was supposed to make us tired so that we could get the feel of running on tired legs.  so my pace for that ended up around 2:40 ish?? then 2x400 which i was right on and even a little fast, well by one second.  then we had 2x200 at 36 and the first 200 was 34 and the second 200 was 32 or 33. afterwards was a mile cool down, core, stretch and ICE BATH!!!  I like ice baths...a lot!  :)  Even though the paces were fast they felt good and I know they will make me faster in the long run! yahoo!

kenyan run

4x200 with spikes on

Hurricane invite!

2mile warmup, with strides then the 1600.  I felt good through out the race.  I PRed by 7 seconds.  My time was 5:38!  after I ran a 2 mile cool down and stretched.  then watched all the other events.

Day two of the Hurricane Invite.

So today I never really stopped but the day started off with a 2 mile warm up, some strides and then the glorious 3200!  For me this race was more mentally exhausting because you have to run SO many laps but I finished and with a freshman record breaking time of 12:03!  It definitely felt good to get it over with but i was way happy with my time. then for a 2 mile cool down around the field.  then I sat on the side lines with jordan and we got a good stretch then thatcher told me to eat sugar so I had some stingers and then off to warming up for the 800.  For the 800 me and rachel were ranked last so we didnt have very good starting spots but it was still a good race!  my time wasn't the best but it was good for my first time i guess.. 2:35!  After the 800 I thought i was done but one of the 4by4 runners dropped out and I was right there so i was the lucky one!  and it was actually a really fun race and I definitely wouldnt mind being a 400 runner!!  We were in the slower heat (and we took first),but we took 7th overall and I think i heard someone say we were only 2 seconds from qualifying for state! so yeah.  then I had a 1.5 mile cool down.  good second track meet!
