"Train insane or remain the same."

Just an easy distance run today, we went on the trail that goes along the railroad tracks which we haven't done before so that was sick. Afterwards 10min of abs, and some hurdle drills cuz we apparently aren't flexible enough. Good times. :)

2mile warm up then 10×200 at mile pace with 90sec rest, first five avg splits are around 39sec and second five avg splits 36sec then cooled down to 6miles. This higher mileage has been nice, it's been a while since I've ran so far.

Cross training so I did a 50free warm up then I did a breathing workout, so on the odd 25s I increase the amount of strokes between each breath (every 2 strokes, every 3, etc up to 12) and on the even 25s I just went easy for recovery. After that I did an easy 50breaststroke then 250kick then 100free cool down. Afterwards got some weights in so that was good.

Mile warm up then strides and pre meet (two 400s at mile pace) 85s both times, and some starts. Jamie ran the 400s with us and the cool down which was fantastic, she needs to run with us more.

Got up to the ice oval around 3:30, warm up was super spotty I got in like a lap and then they made me sit in the bullpen for a while, after that I got another lap in and did some stretches, ate the snickers, and was ready to go. Got to the line and the gun went off, I got out good and fell in kind of between the two front packs with another girl or two. I stayed pretty focused and worked and just moving up and catching up to other girls. Last two laps I kinda fell off and my kick was not fantastic so I need to work on that. My biggest problem right now is still just pacing, I'm having a hard time getting used to the faster pace. I definitely had some energy left over so I should've raced harder. That's ok we'll work on it. On the bright side I cut some time off from BYU so that's good. Hopefully there are more good things to come. Shout out to all the kids on the team who raced today!

Got up to the Oval and realized that I forgot my bib at home #classic so we had to alter another one but no worries it worked out fine. Elevated my legs and then me and Gan warmed up a mile ish (we stayed inside so we just ran for like 10min.) Figured out what our splits should be each lap (1:43s) got to the line, gun went off. Got out pretty good, had to go around a group that was a few girls wide but it wasn't bad since we started on the strait. Just focused on holding pace, me Gan stayed right together and for a while it was just the two of us. Lap splits were all on pace or a bit faster except like lap 5 which wad a 1:46. I lost Gan with about 800 to go so I just focused on trying to pick up the pace and kept my eyes up. Should've started my kick a bit sooner cuz it could've been faster but that's ok. Overall I was really happy with my race, the 3200 is really my favorite race and definitely felt good to finally do it this season. Shout out to Jamie for being such a great coach and helping us to stay on pace! And shout out to the rest of the team for some solid cheering. Also huge shout out to Gan for being brave and doing the two mile for the first time! Oh and to my parent cuz they just treated me to some Texas Roadhouse which was fantastic as always :)
