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.
