Lower Arroyo, 67 minutes with Perrin

Run felt pretty good, and I couldn't really judge the pace. I feel like we could have run the whole thing faster, but legs felt fresh. I got a headache; I think I'm still suffering the effects of severe dehydration.

AM practice at Lacy. 2x700, 2x1500, 2x700, jogging the 100 in between.
Oops, was running late this morning... will show up early from now on.
Today was not a good day. I ran pretty slowly, and my legs felt really heavy and kind of numb. It was like that feeling of tingliness when your arms are really cold, and they feel a bit clammy or something. Really weird. Anyways, my legs were just not moving and felt quite sluggish. First 700 was 3:06, and then 3:03. 1500's were 6:46 and 7:10. I'm not sure what I went on the last two 700's, but I don't really want to know... mrawr.

Wednesday: did not run, woke up with a sore throat that persisted through hot water and medications :(. Don't want to get other people sick, if I am indeed sick, so stayed away from practice.

San Marino Hill Circuit, 7.3 miles, in the AM:

1. Down Sierra Madre (6:03?)
2. Euston
3. Oxford
4. Patton
5. Shenandoah
6. Kewen
7. Cannon (the short one, not the long one =D)

Today, I woke up at 6:10 and was contemplating whether or not I should go to practice. I didn't sleep that well, and still had a sore throat. But I went, and finished the workout. It didn't feel like that that great of a workout, but I also feel like I wasn't running slowly today, and the legs felt much much better than Tuesday. I was wearing tights, so perhaps they were warm enough. Practice ran a bit long today, so I was running late for lab, and didn't have anything with me.. boo.

Easy run in the PM, as a team. Was pretty tired today, despite sleeping for quite a long time... not sore at all from yesterday, just feeling a bit fatigued.

Ladies had a team meeting, which I think was productive. I really like our team this year, lots of new blood and old. Have fun and practice smartly to get ready for SCIACS. I'm pumped!

Tempo run (intervals, rather?) in the Arroyo.

Today's workout was structured rather strangely. We didn't really have a warm up. It was 3 of the loops, but the first one wasn't a warm-up, per se. It was a run, about a minute slower than what we should normally run. Then the second was building up to race pace. Third one was at race pace. Then after that, we did 4x400, broken down into: 100 of form, build to strider, then 200 sprint. Perrin was smokin' on those.

First loop - 7:45/11:56.
Second loop - 6:45/10:36
Third loop - 6:26/10:21?(not sure about the last digit of that).

I was running with Susan for the bulk of it. I was kind of afraid of the lack of warmup, since the legs were not happy about that on Tuesday, but it was mostly ok. The last one was hard, and I slowed down after the mile.. but it felt like a good workout. Although I could feel the legs getting tired, I kept having spurts of energy when I thought about my form, especially along the back part after crossing the bridge. It was also great having Susan there to run with.
