I ran the usual long run today to begin the week. I am contemplating a 5k this upcoming Sunday. I feel that my endurance is up from last year, but I have not done much speed work lately. I hope that the two will "cancel" each other out, resulting in a similar times to last year. The USA Cross Country Championships are in Boulder this next weekend so I am definitely going to go watch some of the big names in running battle it out. It will be cool to see olympic-grade runners compete.

A nice and easy seven miles today to recoup from yesterdays fiasco. I am doing another hard workout tommorrow, so today definitely needed to be a slow day.

I ran a threshold workout today with 4x1mile repeats with one 1:30 rest between intervals. My splits were as follows: 5:22 (a bit fast), 5:28, 5:23, 5:28. In general, I was surprised to see that I could hit farily exact mile times. Usually, I can't really judge how fast I am going, but today I managed to stay relaxed and cruise at the right pace. I then did 4x200 meter strides at 4:40 mile pace, and finished with three easy miles. A good day of running!

An easy nine miles today around the CU campus. I had to run in the dark tonight due to the owerwhelming amounts of schoolwork this week. It felt good to forget about studies and get out for a run. I don't know how I survived last school year without this escape.

Ten easy miles today with 8x150 meter strides at the end. It was very foggy and eerie this morning. It felt like a "lord of the rings" style landscape. Nonetheless, a good run. I have a 5k this weekend, but I don't think that I am going to taper at all. I am coming off of my two highest mileage weeks to date, but I feel fine.

An easy run today before my race tommorrow. I went to the USA Cross Country Championships today and man was that cool. I saw Alan Culpepper, Adam Goucher, Dathan Ritzenhein and Jorge Torres (just to name a few), and it was awesome to watch them run. The 12k run took place on Flatirons golf course, but the amount of melting snow turned the course into a muddy cesspool. Despite the terrible conditions, the runners still laid down some incredible times. Alan Culpepper won the race in the last 2k, passing Dathan Ritzenhein and Adam Goucher to finish in 37:09. This is something I want to work on. I want to have the ability to really pull through in the clutch and put the pedal to the floor when it really counts. I am sure that time and training will help this.
