We ran a workout in a hurricane!

Except not really haha. This was on wednesday btw. This weeks running has been fairly ok. Sat,Sun,Tue ran w Jamie around 7ish miles each. Monday ran by myself i was tired as crap for some reason. Tuesday watched an exciting MSJ/McD dual meet which McD lost 28-29 too bad ugh. Still they ran well. Then for some reason i didnt sleep for crap Tues night i didnt have a lot of caffiene or anything idk why. SO i finally fell asleep(or saw the clock for the last time heh) at 1225 and then had to get up at 155 to do the early wed papers. Not ideal lol. Then i was borderline on nap time because we were doing a wo at 10 sooo i didnt take a nap i played minesweeper to keep me enraged and awake and then took a shower instead.

The workout was good and quite hard. TT looked awesome again he did 6x1000 in 2:57-3:00. The hurricane title meant that it was fairly windy- not extreme but significant. I started off doing the first 600 of the first 3- 1:49,1:49,1:51. The third one was def hard. The rest was hmm the 400 finish for him plus 2:30 of another 400 jog so about 4 min which is a lot(i hadnt thought of this before really). Then i did 400/200 on the next one in 71/35 and then just a straight 400 in 72 because my foot was getting increasingly sore- not terrible ut i didnt want to overdo it. At the time the wo was quite hard and it was good in terms of running farily far at what i think is like mile pace right now but it was obv also affected by getting 1 1/2 hrs of sleep the night before heh. Not the best. 1 mile CD

I actually(and amazingly) did a good job of treating my foot thru the next 24 hrs. Thursday which was apparently yesterday?? wierd- i did a split run heh 30 min at franklin which felt fine then drove down to mcd and did 20 more min by myself which felt like crap. i should have just stayed at franklin as the mcd team went to oregon ridge anyway heh. I just counted it as 6 total i dont care about the break haha it actually made the run harder.

Today i ran at franklin 22 min i was going to run more but then we went to IHOP which took forever and AS USUSAL i didnt take a nap when i got home. It is tough but i need to do better as well. I dont have to look up field hockey seedings the instant i get home and then get distracted for an hour by the computer. ugh. So when i got back from ihop i just went to sleep and woke up at 6(pm for those who are playing along at home).

Counties tomorrow im excited. Its nice to refocus on xc for another month. The guys had a good wo on the track on wednesday- not a hard one 4 800s at easy pace like 305 and then 4 faster 2s also merritt ran faster than the prescribed pace but it will give her confidence hoipefully which is a lot more important than physiology esp at this level(or most levels prob heh). i think she did like 325/17/11/02 heh.

Im going to get good sleep on sunday because we have race for cure on sunday am and then im running the dustin bauer race in the pm. Goal is low 17s i think(maybe under?) we shall see. Weather looks quite good at least like upper 50s-60. Nice.

Oh i was supposed to do a steady run today but that got skipped obv- i'll just be more rested for sunday which is as good/better anyway.
