Alright I know I haven't posted in a while but it's okay I've still been running a lot and I'm still in great shape. Although I did gain 25lbs since last cross country season. I've been working a lot on strength and endurance. My bench PR went from 155lbs to 180lbs and my power clean has came from 130 to 150lbs. So I've definitely gotten a lot stronger, and then I haven't really done any speed work but I time myself on the track in a 200m a few days ago and ran :25.5 in my trainers so my speed is getting really good to, so really other than the unnecessary weight gain I'm in REALLY good shape and am looking forward to getting some really fast times in the 800m this year, and the mile too. Anyways, I did an 11 mile run on this crazy trail with Jesse and then somehow pulled of a 5:50 mile for the last mile. So it was a solid workout, I know it'll hurt tomorrow though :)

I did a 6*400m interval workout today @ 1:09 followed by about a 2:00 lap for rest. It was actually quite difficult because of the long run yesterday my legs didn't want to move. And then I finished with a 5 mile run with coach. We are both really excited for this season and coach says we have a good chance of taking state this year! Oh and I changed my title to "Aggressive" because that's kind of what I want to work at this year is being a bit more competitive and not being afraid to take the lead in a race and just go for the win every time.

I was going to wake up at 5:30 and run, but I didn't get to bed until almost 1:00am so I decided against it. So I'm SUPER tired! I just did an easy 8.5 mile run it felt pretty good and my legs feel a lot better now so I'm happy about that.

My shins were starting to bother me a bit so I decided to play it safe and just do a 1.5 mile jog and instead do some intense cross training.

5 mile tempo run, which turned out to become more of a progressive run I ran 6:38, 6:30, 6:21, 6:07, 5:20. I ran the last 400m on the track all out, I don't know exactly how fast it was though. Pretty intense workout, so it was fun. :)

We did an interval workout today! We did 200-400-600-800-400-200m @ 2mile pace with about 200m of fast walking/jogging in between. Super great I felt fast! I also felt super worn out last night and for some strange reason went to be at 8:00 so I got like 10 hours of sleep, I felt great today!

We did our standard warm up, drills, and core work, then did a 3mile fartlek, followed by some intense intervals in heavy wind. We did 1000m at 2 mile pace with the last 150m ALL OUT, followed by 2 800's doing the same thing! It was awesome I felt great and really strong, I love these types of workouts! Oh and I never have really explained the "weight/strength training" thing. I have this friend named Trevor who can't run because of some temporary joint problems and so he comes over to my house after I finish track practice, and we do seriously 2 hours of strength training every Monday-Friday. We will usually start out with a 20 min. stationary bike warm up, then do strength or weights exercise either upper body, lower body, core, or cardio, and then finish with 10 minutes of running (which is all he is allowed to do right now) and then a 10 minute cooldown on bike. So it's usually pretty tough stuff, I love it I've gotten so much stronger from it and my body can handle easy now. (I used to struggle a lot with the running and weight training.) I have a whole entire weight fitness room covering my whole basement which is pretty big, so I have like pretty much anything you could want to workout at my house, it's awesome!

We did our standard drills and exercises, we started with 4*200m's at 800m pace, and I just easily hit 30 seconds each time spot on. I ran at PE yesterday and we did the 800m in the wind! I timed myself to make sure it's accurate, in PE clothes and wearing my old heavy trainers, and in PE class (I was not going all out...it was PE!!!) I ran a PR! 2:08 ! It was easy! I am so looking forward to racing, I am really confident in my fitness right now. Anyways, then we went on a 5 mile run on a trail. My shins were bothering me quite a bit though so I iced today after practice, and they're starting to feel better so we'll see. Then we got back and did 4*100m strides, followed by a mile cooldown. I got home and worked out with Trevor for almost 3 HOURS, we didn't get done till about 8:00 tonight! It was great! Except for the fact that I have a ton of homework to do:(
