Rob gave a nice talk before the run, and I think everyone was a little pumped up from it. I was already motivated because I know I can run fast and because the Darts already have 5 guys under 10 minutes. I did 8 miles. I was 6:38 average, and came back uphill against the wind averaging 6:38, so 6:28 average for the whole run. I felt pretty good, and was really just getting in a good run. My right IT band was hurting, like usual lately, and I could feel my ankle tendonitis a little aching from Saturday. 

After I did some light strength lifts, hurdles, and core.

I did a long and easy run today. Tried not to push hard or anything, but just run pretty comfortably. My right knee was aching in the first .75 before I stopped for some dynamic stretching. After that I did fine. I could still tell my IT band was a little tight though. I felt pretty good overall. 6:42/43 average for the whole run. 

Some abs after. I got looking at Arcadia qualifying times today, and I really want to run the 3200 there. Gotta keep working.

Feeling tired today, I need more sleep. Today we did intervals. I ran for 10 minutes to warmup and did drills. After a couple accelerations I jumped into it. I ran 8x3laps with about 1:1 reco. My first one was slow. After that I was able to lock on for the most part and would be within a second of my 4:40 pace I was supposed to hit. We switched directions half way. My legs were struggling some today, especially on those third laps. On my last two repeats I really had to go to the bathroom, which caused me to tighten up and made it hard to relax and run fast. 

After I went outside and did 4.5 easy miles at about 7:30 pace. I was dead by the end and really hungry.

Pretty easy day today. I ran six miles with Tanner, and some of it with Burrell and Jeff. Some parts of it were decent pace, but it was overall slow. My knees themselves are kinda sore and iffy today so I'm playing it safe to stay healthy, especially because of the 4 mile tempo/time trial tomorrow. We averaged 6:49.

After that I did twenty minutes of cross training on the elliptical. Then stretching and abs.

Little bit of a different day. We were doing a tempo run but I guess some one requested to change it. I warmed up pretty well. Then we did some pace repeats that were pretty long. I felt good and was glad it wasn't fast stuff. I did 5 Repeats that were about 4:20 in length. I cooled down outside for twelve minutes after. Things felt good today.

Solid long run to finish out the week. Glad we don't have a meet today, because I was able to have a good run, and it'll be good to not spend all day at a meet. The legs felt pretty good today. Aerobically it felt a little harder than it should have, but that just made it a better run overall. 6:40 average.
