6.84 miles, Upper Arroyo in 58 minutes, in lieu of taking a nap through practice. (I'm not sure of the exact mileage, because I made up the route for down in the Arroyo, where trees are obscuring the aerial view of the path.)
Calves (more the left one) hurt... tightness is the aftermath of meets, and the shins were starting to hurt. Also started getting a stitch. Lots of stop and go at traffic lights. Finished the run with Masha, Sylvia, and Natalya. Stretched the calves/iced the left one, after doing a stick massage.
aaaand... I'm running the 5k on Friday!

Oxy distance carnival: I ran the 5k. But for some reason, they didn't get my time - the finish was a bit funky, and they told me I had another lap to do, even though I didn't. Stephanie can attest to this. The 2nd half of it was kind of terrible (slowed down a lot lot lot). It was 20:50 or so (def. under 21:00).
in my head, it's going down
17 miles.

Orange Grove, 7 miles (well, 6.99, but I'll round up) in 54 minutes.
I ran with Masha. Sylvia was running at the same pace, in the same general vicinity, but not really "with." And Natalya was sick.. but she was running anyways, silly girl. I think I'll probably be sore tomorrow.. since I was sore after last Friday's run... and today's was longer to say the least... heh. But it felt good to run. I'm actually quite excited about being committed to running track this year, despite the seeming lack of enthusiasm on the team's behalf. The (distance squad portion of the) team is quite small. My back/shoulders are really tight, and I think it gets worse when I run.. hm. My legs were getting tired toward the end of the run, and red lights were too sparse. Then we did some light abs afterward. Other news: I got new shoes with Sally today! The guy at the store was a fan of Ian Shapiro.

Track workout: 7x500 (84, 85, 85, 86, 86, 85, 81)
mm, I am sore. My calves started to cramp during the cooldown, a few times =[. And I think my left one is a bit swollen. And my quads are sore, too. But I've been more sore before. I love this weather (for running). A little bit nippy is perfect.
Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Off. I'm so tired.. and I'm not sure why. I effectively slept for 10 hrs + another 3 in the afternoon, through practice. I'm not sure what's up. Not feeling so hot, though.

Attempted to do sprinter workout, but they were on the machines. So I ended up just running 2 laps around the track, and then going to the weight room for a little bit. Note to self: no more sprint workouts.
Friday, March 5, 2010
Team meeting, then pre-race + 6 striders. Afterward, very light abs.
Saturday, March 6, 2010
SCIAC bottom 4 meet. I ran the open 400 (67.8), 800 (2:51) and 4x4 (split 69).
The 4 was okay, but I don't think I'm going to do another open 4.. that last 100 =P. The 800 was terrible: 1) it was not that long after the 400.. about 25 minutes. 2) My calves, the left one was really tight and I could feel it on the last 250 (cramp-y), so lots of people passed me, and I couldn't really do anything about it. My hip also has that feeling where I feel like it needs to crack, but it won't. Calves... go away.

SCIACs for swimming. Swam the 50 in prelims on Sunday; didn't do very well. Swam the first leg of the 200 fr relay (27.31), and the breast leg of the 400 medley (35.9/1:17). Monday: Was pretty tired and sore :(. Swam the 100 fly (1:14) and 100 breast (1:20) in prelims. Then the 50 breast in the 200 medley relay (35.1). Oof!
