Solid run.  Ran on 3500 so to Granger, then up to 41 and back to 56th and home.  The run could also be called the West Valley high school world tour :).  good pace most of the way, and I picked it up to sub 7 the last 2 miles.  Hammy was a bit tight, but nothing too serious.  Overall AVG PACE 8:10

Got to the corner and thought, "Why am I running? I feel awful, and am super soar and stressed." So then I turned around and came home.  I think I needed the day off . . .

1 mile warm-up, 2 miles fast, 1 mile cool-down.  Glad that week is over, it was definitely a struggle!  This whole running thing gets hard when I am coaching, working and going to school!  Here's to a better week next week!

1 hour of agonizingly slow running, well more like slow jogging! My stomach was doing backflips the entire time, and I just battled through.  Just trying to get some consistency during football, which has been hard, because after a game of coaching I am more soar than after a half marathon!!  Hopefully I can just get through it in decent shape so that when it is over I can jump right back into more focused training!

a nice easy run, with a few tempo miles.  Things felt really good, and so I made sure to take advantage of the fresh legs.  Avg. Pace was 8:16, slow miles around 8:40, faster miles around 7:40

Got out a bit late, but still had a decent run.  A few stomach problems that limited my pace a bit, but other than that things were pretty smooth.

 AVG Pace: 8:29

A mostly easy 5 tonight.  9:15, 9:13, 7:40, with a .25 push @ 6:00.  finished that mile off @ 8:34.  Then just cruised about that same pace the rest of the way.

Nice easy morning miles.  My football team laid an egg in the state tournament, so we are done, which means that it is time to get focused again.  Starting next week I will have a lot more time to run!!

Back to the grindstone!! I am going to try and ease back into it by working out with the xc team.  They are getting ready for footlocker regional's, and I am using them to ease back in because they don't run big mileage.  Today we did  7 miles, and running the same route as the kids helped me stay motivated.  My only slow miles were up the steep part of 5600 w. and my cool down mile.

Splits were: 7:08, 7:18, 7:44, 7:39, 7:52, 8:49, 8:54.

A solid 5 today.  Stuck with the main group as long as I could with my tired legs, and was able to do so for just over 3 miles.  Then on the way back up the hill I fell behind.  6:59, 7:20, 7:16, 8:10, 8:33.  AVG PACE 7:40

First speed work with the xc team.  It kicked my butt, but that will only make me stronger! 

Warmed up 1.5 miles nice and easy 8:24 avg. pace, then the heat was on!! Between every rep we rested about 90 seconds.  1600m in 6:28, 1200m in 5:11, 800m in 3:28, 600m in 2:28, 400m in 1:33.  Cooled down 1 mile @ 8:56.

Overall everything felt good, looking forward to my continued work with the young kids.
