Ran 3 in the evening on the treadmill in the hotel we stayed at.

3 easy in the morning.

Race at Pine View in the afternoon. We got a good warm up in on the 2 mile course, then watched the girls race before throwing on our spikes and heading over to the start. The race went pretty well. I got out into good position, but sort of started to lag off the leaders on the second loop before getting back up with them at the hill. I passed everyone but Josh on the second loop and tried to close the gap on him but I couldn't catch him. The guys did great today. One week until we leave for Nike, exciting stuff!!!

3 in the morning. Starting to get a little less chilly.

In the afternoon we did an easy workout on the track to get the legs moving a little. I felt great! We are headed off to Arizona tomorrow so I won't be able to blog for a few days. Hopefully by my next entry we'll have earned ourselves a ticket to Portland!

Big race today. We warmed up and I felt pretty good, but I could tell I was just too stressed out about the race, and I wasn't there mentally. I tried to loosen up a little bit and take the pressure off a little bit but I don't think I ever did. Well, the race started and I got out good, and I settled in like I normally do, but I quickly learned that you can't settle that soon in a big race like this one. I got shuffled further back and got separated from Jaiden and Spencer early which wasn't good. That was pretty much the story for our team this race. We couldn't run as a pack, which is definitely our strength and why we've done so well all season. We took 4th, which still gives us the chance of an at large berth, so fingers crossed. Not our best race of the season, but definitely a learning experience. I know they'll be back next year better and with more experience. Proud of our team and what we were able to accomplish this season, even if it didn't end the way we were hoping.

No morning run.

In the afternoon we did our mile time trial. My time wasn't very fast, but I didn't run very smart. I think I'm still in XC mode and just didn't push myself like I would in a 1600m race.

In the afternoon we ran the ridge. I haven't been up there in a while so it was pretty fun. Legs felt alright.
