Warmed up for 2.5. Workout was 4 mile tempo in the trails (22:31). It was extremely windy and yesterday's rain had me jumping over the lab's newly acquired creeks left and right. After a few minutes my shoes were both drenched and covered in mud. Still got the job done although nicer conditions would have been preferred. Cooled down for 2.63 for 9.13 total.

Warmed up in the trails for 2.2 miles. Switched shoes for a 6.3 mile tempo in 35:28 (5:37 pace). Felt good the entire time, except for when I going up this giant hill. Afterwards I got back into my trainers and cooled down 2.

Warmed up for 15 minutes (a little more than 2 miles) before heading straight into a fartlek workout: 16x(30s up, 1:00 down). The 30s reps were around 30-33 second 200m pace. Cooled down to 9.

In Boulder: 2 mile warmup. Went to a local highschool track for my workout; 5x1600m w/30s rest (5:16, 5:30, 5:40, 5:40, 5:40). It was really windy and the altitude was noticeable. I started out too fast and felt it halfway through the second rep. 2 miles of cooldown around a disc-golf course.

Started out with 6 miles of brutal mountain running... it took me 10 more minutes than usual at an easy pace. Finished up with 3 miles back to the condo. I didn't know which trails to take so I would wander around until I found someone who looked like what they were doing. I would then proceed to follow them from afar. It was a good move as I ran some pretty cool trails.

Got done with college visit and started a little late... Was going to do tempo 200s on a track so I did a 3.5 mile warmup over there. When I arrived I found the school's football team practicing and didn't want to deal with them hopping onto lane one and other possible problems (since it was their track). So, I decided to do 1:00 up tempo (5:25 pace), 1:00 down for 3 miles. Finished it up with a mile cooldown.

2 mile warmup. Team wanted to do a practice DMR for pre-season standing. For 1200, 400, 800, 1600 we went 3:20, 53, 2:08, 4:33 for 10:54. We definitely have lots of room to improve but for a solo effort with moderate winds for 200m of each lap it wasn't a bad time. I ran the 1600. Afterwards me and P did 8x400 (79, 79, 78, 79, 74, 74, 73, 71) and a 4 mile cooldown.

After our team building activity I warmed up for 2 miles. Once back I switched shoes for 5x1600 w/30s rest (5:20, 5:17, 5:13, 5:10, 5:02). I felt very in control during the 16s and my breathing was casual. Finished up with 2.1 of cooldown.

2.25 miles of warmup. It was really windy (from the north-west) so I prompted for 200s starting from the top of the north curve. 24x200m w/200m jog in between. Average 200m was 35. The workout took 25:03 to complete. Afterwards I cooled down for 2 miles in the trails.

Warmed up for 2.5. Workout was 6x800 w/400m jog rest (2:23, 2:24, 2:24, 2:26, 2:27, 2:23). I woke up in the morning with a sore throat and was a little tired all day. After the 800s I did 8 100m strides and cooled down for 2 miles.

am: 4 miles out and back

pm: First day of track practice: 2 miles of warmup, 8x400 w/2:30 rest (65, 67, 67, 66, 65, 66, 65, 64). I felt good and the times weren't that bad considering it was brutally windy (and has been the last two weeks). I felt ready to go after about 1 minute of rest so I think I'm in good aerobic condition. Cooled down for 2 miles.
