Mon 1/20: Full Arroyo with Will! 9.8mi. Went pretty slow, ~8min pace (79min total). Pecs still sore.
Tue 1/21: 6x800m every 5 minutes. 2:41, 2:38, 2:38, 2:39, 2:38, 2:37. The groups were Eric and Aditya in front, then Jared and Juan, then Fabian, Will, and me. My laps were all pretty consistent, so can't really complain. Hamstrings extremely sore the moment after the workout finished. Pecs still sore. ~7mi total.
Wed 1/22: Garfield Long Way, 5.7mi. ~7:20 pace again. Pecs and hamstrings still sore. 30 pushups was so much harder than usual o_O.
Thu 1/23: First of Susan's workouts. 1.5mi tempo with 800m at 10k pace, 800m at 5k pace, and then 800m all out, then 800, then 2x400. I wanna say my paces were around 2:55/2:45/2:35, 2:35, 70, 67. Hamstrings still sore. ~8mi total.
Fri 1/24: Crazy tree, 6mi. Went pretty slow by myself in order to preserve hamstrings.
Sat-Sun: Off. I'm kind of concerned that I maybe have strained my hamstrings since they've been sore for so long now. Even if they're not strained, being sore for this long sounds like an easy way to get tendinitis. Maybe I'm being a bit too conservative... Probably biking would've been good but was pretty busy over the weekend with chamber music and Chinese New Year planning.
Total: 36.5mi.

Too cold for ice baths
Mon 1/13: Casting Pond, 8.5mi, ~7:18 pace. Felt pretty hard, but generally satisfied with the outcome. Don't want to feel too sore for tomorrow's workout, so took an ice bath. So cold.
Tue 1/14: 7x400 on the track. Goal was to get ~75s. Ending up doing 74, 73, 72, 72, 73, 72, 73 because didn't want to get dropped. Fabian was really fast, and Will was going out a bit faster but crashed in the end =/. First speed workout, so I'm sure things will get better. ~5.5mi.
Wed 1/15: Huntingson up Los Robles, 6.2mi. Ran really slowly because legs were really sore (especially quads). Ice baths every day.
Thu 1/16: 2mi time trial at Garfield Park, ran 12 flat for 2 laps (2.05mi). Really slow course, felt really good. Pretty much even splits. Ended up gaining a lot on Jared by the end. Started near Fabian and Will and dropped them pretty hard the second lap. I guess I'm a lot more prepared for endurance than speed, which makes sense since the rest of team did the 16 strides work out last Thursday and 200s last Saturday while I was gone (and lazy) during ski trip. ~7mi overall. I'm definitely satisfied with today though, gave me a lot more confidence for this season.
Went to Din Tai Fung today with a bunch of alums after practice! Anton, Stephanie, and Clara all visited! xD xD xD (I know you're reading this Steph! ;P)
Fri 1/17: Can't remember what we ran, but according to Aditya's running calendar, it was 5mi. Awesome.
Sat 1/18: 8:30am practice... 8x200m on the track with 200m jog rest (every 2 min?). Averaged around 32, but everybody else was way faster. Really lacking speed. 20 min warm up and cool down. ~7mi.
Helped Jama move a bunch. Yay arm strength!
Sun 1/19: Off. Three day weekend! Worked at the swim/dive meet, and randomly did 145 push ups... Pecs are really sore now o_O. Also played like... 3 easy songs of DDR.
Total: 39.2mi.
This is my first real high intensity week! The mileage is a bit lower than I would've hoped, but it's better to be on the safe side for now until I'm stronger, especially since something is always sore. And yes, I did ice bath every day from Mon-Fri. Brrrrrr. Missed dinner every day too as a result.
