15 minute VO2 Max today for the first time this track season. 2.75 mile warm up then we hopped on the track and got started. I felt pretty flat today, but it's kind of what I expected without much hard mileage or speedwork since cross ended. I still ended up PRing so that was good. I'm excited to get started with track and get running fast again. Finished practice off with a 2 mile cool down and some plyometrics.

9 miles easy today. Stopped at 4 miles to help get a couple of kids get their truck out of the sand, which took quite a while. Pretty good run overall, even if it wasn't the funnest trail ever. Kept it arid in my biosphere. #teamdrytumbleweed

Today we went out to the Dixie Center to do our tempo run. We did about a 2.5 mile warm up, 15 minute tempo, and around 2 mile cool down. The pace wasn't super fast today, my breathing felt fine, but my legs felt pretty tired for some reason. Good workout.

.5 mile warm up on the track, then 6 miles easy on the trails with 8x100m strides afterwards. I felt pretty good.

Today we did a 10 minute tabatta-style workout on the track. I felt pretty good for about the first 7 or so minutes, but after that my breathing was not as good as it usually is, and it seemed harder than it should've been. I really liked the style of the workout and I think that these types of workouts will really help to build my endurance as well as my finishing speed.

Woke up this morning to go run the Zen trail and my throat felt pretty sore. Possibly why I didn't fell as well in the workout yesterday. I felt pretty good for the first half of the run, but the last 4 or 5 miles I felt like I was breathing through a straw and I was totally drained of all my energy. Felt like that for pretty much the rest of the day but I pounded the vitamin c so hopefully I'll get better soon.
