Today was a long run in Grand Lake (still at camp). The first mile or so was slow, so around mile three some teammates decided to get things moving. I just relaxed and let them go on their way. I hit the first half in 45:30 - whew, we were moving (and I was a ways off the leaders!), especially since the elevation was 9,000 ft. On the second half I felt really good, and I just chugged through to finish in just over 1:29. This was pretty fast, so tommorrow will need to be very pedestrian to help my body recover. In all, this run felt really good!

Eight easy miles in South Boulder. It felt fine.

Today was 12 x (300 on, 200 rest), with the 300's in 53ish on grass. This workout felt pretty easy. This Saturday is the time trial! A year ago I was real nervous right now. It feels sooo good not to have that amount of pressure lingering on my shoulders. I will still definitely have some pressureful moments this season (late October/November timeframe), but it shouldn't be too bad. Tommorrow is a middle distance run. I need to run alone in the morning due to a conflict regarding class. This can work well, though. No one will be pushing me to do anything ridiculous!

Today was a middle distance run, and I ended up going a bit far. The original path I planned on turned out to be a bit far, but all is well. Pacing was fair to easy, and I just cruised. I haven't taken a day off in a while, so tommorrow I will take a rest. On Saturday we have the time trial (which will be a decent effort), then a long run on Sunday. With two back to back hard efforts, I think that I need to play it careful today. Tommorrow will be a shakeout, and I will probably do about 8-9 with some strides.

Nada. I did swim a bit, but nothing extensive. I feel fine. Tommorrow will be a shakeout, and I will probably do about 8-9 with some strides.

Today was a shakeout for the time trial tommorrow. I ran 8ish miles with 4x150 meter strides on the course. This is sooooo much less pressureful than last year!!! Coach Wetmore told us to treat it like a workout, so I will do just that. It should be a good time!

Today was the time trial at the Buff Ranch. The weather was hot, but definitely could have been worse. When the gun went off, our team just bunched up and rolled together. We hit the first mile in 5:53 - reaaaallly slow! The next mile was five flat, though, so we did recoup a bit. After that, we maintained 5:20ish pace for a mile, ran 5:40 for the fourth mile, then 5:10 for the final mile. It felt good, and I never felt like I over-exerted myself. Our team finished as a pack with two other runners out front (who decided they wanted to win it (we contemplated chasing them down, but opted against it)). We let a freshman finish in the front of the pack, too! Overall, this was a good workout; nothing too strenuous. Oh...I was interviewed by the Daily Camera! This was my first real interview!
