04.02.2008	7.80	Ran easy 60 minutes, picked up at the end (lower arroyo). Dennis seems faster than me, especially if he hasn't run before.
05.02.2008	7.80	Damn, I ran really slow for that 2.5 mile tempo (14:51). Dennis was a little ahead of me, but I mostly ran on pace. Hopefully I can do a 10:30 3200 by the end of track...
06.02.2008	5.00	40 minutes, easy run. 8 lap warmup before run because my left leg was feeling weak.
07.02.2008	3.70	2000 (6:55) 1600 (5:34) 1200 (4:08) 800 (2:34) 400 (1:15) on the track. Left calf was hurting at the beginning.
08.02.2008	3.50	Pre race. Felt pretty bad. Left leg is weak, Erin thinks it's pulled.
09.02.2008	3.25	First meet: 4x1600 (5:11), 4x800 (2:18), 3000 (10:29). felt bad on all but 3k. leg especially acted up during 800.
11.02.2008	7.80	Ran pretty consistent for 60 minutes. Same as (04.02), but felt better. leg is not hurting so much
12.02.2008	5.00	20 minute tempo run at lacey, completed 7 laps ( +/- 100m ). faster 3 mile split than last time (17:03)
13.02.2008	3.00	Interhouse track: 800 (2:17, 4th), 3000 (10:17, 1st), 4x400 (??, 2nd). leg not hurting at all during meet. slow 400 (probably 58ish, but no official splits). almost got owned in last lap of 3000, but outsprinted 2nd
14.02.2008	6.50	Huntingson, no idea how long it took since I forgot to start my watch. Legs were okay.

18.02.2008	9.00	Full arroyo with garrett and anton in 78 minutes. Not taxing, but I tripped over a branch at the aquatic center that hurt a lot. felt okay after a few minutes
19.02.2008	4.00	5x1200 (4:00, 4:00, 3:59, 4:00, 4:01) going every 6:30. pretty hard and yet easier than I imagined. even lap splits per 1200 were pretty good (1:18, 2:38, finishing time). but left ankle feels injured
20.02.2008	0.00	Don't know if I can really run today. I could barely walk without an uneven stride after Aph9 lab yesterday. We'll see how it goes. (update: didn't run, might not be able to for a while)
21.02.2008	0.00	injured, right ankle
22.02.2008	3.50	ran pre-race. didn't stride because ankle started hurting.
23.02.2008	0.00	didn't run any races, ran a few warm ups but ankle was nagging at high speeds
25.02.2008	7.80	lower arroyo at a goodly pace. 57:30 for the entire thing. felt okay but a little out of shape

04.03.2008	3.50	3x1600 (5:23, 5:26, 5:23) going every 10 minutes. Was pretty hard because no one was in front of me to pace (anton and matt ran 800s).
05.03.2008	0.00	Sick
06.03.2008	3.00	It's not really three, I'm sure I did more but I lost count. Ran around on track for 40 minutes because I'm still sick.
07.03.2008	5.00	garfield long way easy. Took 41:03 to finish, but felt much better than yesterday
09.03.2008	9.50	still sick, but feeling a lot better; got dizzy partway through due to dehydration. took 60 min. here's what I did but I'm pretty sure it's an overestimate: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1686707
10.03.2008	2.25	6x600, Scott wanted me to run 5k pace (78, 1:56, 1:54, 1:53, 1:52, 1:49, 1:44, 83)
11.03.2008	5.00	garfield long way easy. took about 43 minutes

13.03.2008	3.00	Pre race, felt fine.
14.03.2008	3.00	Horrible race, went out too fast and got tired (17:10 5k), ran first 2 miles in 10:46. very sad, ran a 7 mile cooldown in a little under an hour

17.03.2008	0.00	driving back home for spring break – walked for an hour with alyssa but that doesn't count.
18.03.2008	9.50	good long run at 65 minutes
19.03.2008	7.50	long run, felt slow because of heat. woke up late so it was really hot outside. same as yesterday but didn't do loop around neighborhood
19.03.2008	2.00	6x400 @ 75 with 2 minutes rest. ran in lane 4, so it's not really 400, wanted to help out my HS friends pace correctly (they did). then 4x200 @ 30, ran in lane 6 so it's not 200
20.03.2008	4.50	easy recovery run: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1716560
20.03.2008	5.50	nice easy run with matt to catch up, legs felt better than in the morning
21.03.2008	3.40	Tempo run for 20 minutes at udall park, did ~5.5 (+/- 50m) laps at 1000m each. It's probably a little less than a half, but I have no idea since it's not a marked loop. Still it was good pace.
21.03.2008	4.50	played ultimate with friends. team sucked and gave up too easily. ran ~4.5 miles while they got their act together. drunk guy wanted to play, was actually pretty good

24.03.2008	4.00	16x400 with 2 minutes rest, ran: 73, 72, 73, 74, 73, 72, 73, 73, 73, 73, 73, 74, 73, 73, 73, 72. super tiring, really felt like I was starting to fade at lap 13ish. surprisingly held pace.
25.03.2008	10.50	(retroactively added) did the girls distance workout at my high school (highland park +), then did the boys distance workout(rosemont loop). then ran with arturo for 5 miles (indian house +)

26.03.2008	4.00	(retroactively added) helped arturo warm up for mile, then after that helped him warm up for the 800, then ran with janeth to warm up for two-mile. each warm up was ~15 minutes.
27.03.2008	11.50	Lack of recording for past few days, but not lack of running. pissed off at yesterday's workout. Today ran: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1736141 in 86:12 with stops (pr)
28.03.2008	3.00	12x400 with 2 minutes rest, ran: 73, 70, 71, 70, 71, 70, 71, 70, 71, 70, 71, 68
29.03.2008	3.30	tired from yesterday, but needed to get in tempo run. ran same park as last time, but probably a little less (not quite 5.5 laps). legs felt heavy after lap ~3.5. leaving tucson tomorrow...
31.03.2008	9.00	Full arroyo in 64:20, faster than last time. Hit a ton of lights in town, made me upset. Dennis is doing pretty well, he'll be a good xc runner.
01.04.2008	2.50	10x400 going every 2:00 minutes (46 sec rest!): ran 74, 76, 74, 74, 76, 74, 75, 75, 75, 72. bonus 400: 62. felt happy that I didn't lose much
02.04.2008	6.00	Huntington coming up los robles. was going pretty fast but once anton dropped me i felt fine. took 47:47
03.04.2008	3.50	tempo run for 20 minutes at lacey. ran slightly more than 7 laps. was pretty close to anton, ran consistent pace. 6 laps in 17:08
04.04.2008	3.00	pre race, left hip was hurting, went away after a while, but didn't do strides because of it.
05.04.2008	3.10	bad race, ran 17:12, but more even splits this time; felt really weak right before race, but it was just nervousness. left hip started to hurt on cooldown but was fine during race. will i ever break 17:00?
