Mon 2/3: Feel amazing, hamstrings much better. Lower Arroyo, 7.8mi.

Tue 2/4: 4x1200m every 7min and then 400m. Ran 3:59, 3:59, 3:58, 3:56, 67. Ran with Iggy on the last 1200 and the 400, pretty solid workout. 7mi.

Wed 2/5: Huntington, 6mi. Calf hurting a bit through the day, first 2 mi of run.

Thu 2/6: 1200 then 2000, then 2 strides, all at around 5k pace. 4:00 then 6:33. Stuck with Juan and Iggy for the first ~3.5 laps. ~8mi.

Fri 2/7: Prerace, 3.4mi! Legs could really use an easy day...

Sat 2/8: First meet! Ran the 1500, 3k, and 4x4. Legs felt really tired before the 1500. Managed to bust out a semi-decent race though, came through at 73, 2:29, 3:43, 4:38 (so 73, 76, 74, 55-like 71). Probably saved a bit too much for the kick, but ohh well. It's a disappointing time, but I've haven't done anything this short in several years, so it'll get better I'm sure. The saddest part was that after the race, people came up to me and were like, "Did you PR too?". No... no... not even close. It's ok, sometimes it's nice when everybody has really low expectations for you because the only person you can disappoint is yourself.

Legs felt even more tired before the 3k. Was cold and tight the whole race, ran really slow. Something like 82, 83, 83, 84, 85, 85, 75, 39 (so 1:22,  2:45, 4:08, 5:32, 7:57, 8:22, 9:27, 10:16). After finishing the 3k, Will was talking about how about how he had to run the 4x4, and I kept going off about how I was so happy that I was done for the day, and how being in the long distance crew is so awesome because we don't train for the 400 (and therefore never have to run it, right?). Right after that, Scott calls me over and says: you're running in the 4x4. CRAPPPP. Then I go spy on the coach's meeting to see when Scott's running, because I say I'll only run it if I get to run against Scott. The third leg it is then. I get the baton a few seconds after Scott, catch him 200m in, and pass him! Nothing makes an athlete happier than being able to race with his coach :). Ended up running 60 flat. So slowww. So happy though because we won! With 3:49! Destroyed the sprinting team, even though they had Eric. First meet down! ~9mi total.

Total: 41.2mi.
