PM

AM: Surprisingly my legs still don't hurt, and I felt pretty good today! I did 9 miles @ 6:30 ave and it felt like a jog :) I love seeing improvement :) I finished with a 1 mile cooldown to total 10 miles this morning.

PM: 9 mile recovery run (I was just going to do 6 miles...but I started feeling freakishly good) @ VERY SLOW pace (whatever feels good really)

Strength Training: Weights...with the XC team again :/ (I love my team but...we don't do much in the weight room, I like my weight training program that has helped me a lot to be stronger.)

I have been trying to be very cautious lately, because I am doing much more mileage than I have done in the past. However, I still find myself with no problems at all. I have never felt so strong or fit in my entire life. I feel as if I have gained more control over my body and my stride  throughout these past two weeks. Running has just become so fantastically natural and smooth. I remember running as a little kid, and having NO sense of control over my body. Haha! I flailed all over the place. As I have gotten older and ran more I have noticed I start to feel more control over myself physically as I have mentally. I can't imagine how the pros feel. AM: Had to my morning run short to meet with my school counselor to get my schedule for next year set (6 miles@ easy pace). So afterward I went to the rec center and ran another 6.5 miles (6:15 ave pace).

PM: I met up with Kody and Jesse and we ran 4 miles easy before we went to practice and swam. But then I made the mistake of going to subway after and eating a footlong only to know that we were going to do another 5.5 miles total before and after swimming...ouch! Good day today though, I felt really good, and I amd still able to hit the correct paces for my run even with the mileage bump, so all is well. :)

Strength Training: Swimming

AM: 4 miles trail (forgot GPS watch so I am educated guessing here). We ran for practice on the "roller coaster" trail at the fair grounds.It is the trail where a lot of four wheelers and dirt bikers ride because it is litterally up-down-up-down-up-down-etc. When I got home I ran another 4 miles on the trails next to my house.

PM: 6 miles@ Long run pace (6:30-6-45) on treadmill in salt lake hotel.

Strength Training: Core

2.5 mile warmup. 6*mile repeats @ 5:30 ave w/minimal rest. (Ran more like a fartlek because the rest was a pretty quick jog.) The mile repeat pace felt easy and I think Sean noticed I was doing it very easily so he let me go faster on the last few. Finished with 4*60m relaxed sprints, and 3 miles easy. This is the first 100 mile week I have ever ran, and I was surprised to realize that it wasn't very difficult. However, I understand I have only done it for one week, and  to consistently keep up 100 mile weeks is a whole different story.

So I will still play this very cautiously while having fun running and training and preparing for this upcoming XC season.
