final thoughts (xc08)
I don't really know what to think about this season. I ran faster and more consistently compared to last year, yet I came away from almost every race much unhappier. Strangely enough I also felt less in shape this year than last, although my times say otherwise. I ran 5:27 for the first mile of almost every single race this year; it seems fast but I didn't think it was out of reach for me to hold that for all 5 miles. Maybe it still isn't out of reach but I will probably have to reevaluate my goals for the rest of my time here. There are hundreds of "could haves" or "should haves" flying through my head. I should have run more over the summer. I shouldn't have dropped my training like I did. I could have gone faster in workouts. I should have gone faster in workouts. Normally XC is the "good" season -- and this worries me. I've had a few bad track seasons, but I could handle them and weren't nearly as unhappy with them. I've only improved by a very marginal 22 seconds from last year (comparing PRs); in high school I dropped from a 19:02 (first 5k) to 17:44 junior year, and then from that 17:44 to 17:06 senior year. This is off of really low mileage and nowhere near good coaching as I receive here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
then end of xc08
| 27.10.2008 | 6.0 | upper arroyo. Went alright... |
| 28.10.2008 | 6.0 | 9x400 at central, ran pretty fast: 73, 72, 72, 75, 76, 76, 75, 77, 72 |
| 29.10.2008 | 6.0 | modified huntingson – ran up los robles to green and then back full arroyo way. |
| 30.10.2008 | 4.0 | 5-4-3-2-1 lacey, went decently fast but didn't switch gears well enough. Did around 5.5 laps +/- 50m |
| 31.10.2008 | 3.0 | Pre race...alone since I had review session to go to at 4:00. |
| 01.11.2008 | 5.0 | best race this season with a PR of 28:29.03; didn't feel like it would be a PR until the very end – need to calm down the first mile; 5:27, 11:15, 17:15, ??:??, 28:29.03 (1st on team, 42nd overall / 92) |
| Total | 30.0 | |
| 03.11.2008 | 6.0 | lower arroyo. Uneventful, but DST was throwing me off |
| 04.11.2008 | 5.0 | 6x800 going every 4:30. did this on the track because midterms prevented me from going to practice on time. Ran pretty consistently, but it was on track so that's expected. (2:34, 2:35, 2:35, 2:36, 2:33, 2:32) |
| 05.11.2008 | 5.0 | mildly abnormal tree... seems shorter than last time I did it |
| 06.11.2008 | 6.0 | (3 on, 1 off) x 7. Did 9 laps... |
| 07.11.2008 | 5.0 | garfield and back short way |
| 08.11.2008 | 7.0 | 5k tempo in the arroyo, didn't go very fast but didn't feel like i could have gone much faster...18:57. This is bad news seeing as how i ran probably 18:0x for the first 5k of my race last week... |
| Total | 34.0 | |
| 10.11.2008 | 6.0 | upper arroyo. Went okay |
| 11.11.2008 | 5.0 | 9x400 at central. Ran alright: 74, 75, 75, 74, 77, 76, 76, 75, 73 |

| 14.11.2008 | 5.0 | pre race...slow |
| 15.11.2008 | 5.0 | poor race. Went out in 5:15 and died pretty hard. A mediocre end to a mediocre season. 5:15, 11:12, 16:54, ????, 28:19.53 (3rd on team, 85th / 105) |

sophomore slump...
| 13.10.2008 | 6.0 | Sick :( but did lower arroyo anyways |
| 14.10.2008 | 0.0 | Sick :( worse than yesterday |
| 15.10.2008 | 6.0 | 8x800 every 5 minutes (make up for yesterday) at lacey. One of the best workouts I've ever had, and I did it alone: 2:39, 2:39, 2:39, 2:39, 2:38, 2:37, 2:37, 2:32. I can't believe that 4 years ago I would have been hard pressed to do just one 800 at under 2:40 |
| 16.10.2008 | 4.0 | 5-4-3-2-1 at central, but I took it pretty easy. |
| 17.10.2008 | 3.0 | Prerace...nervous for tomorrow. I feel weaker but more rested than I did around the same time last year. |
| 18.10.2008 | 5.0 | went out too fast as usual... 5:27, 11:15, 17:10, ????, 29:27. I feel like I should be able to hold that first mile for all of it but for some reason I can't get it together. |
| Total | 24.0 | |
| 20.10.2008 | 6.0 | lower arroyo. Longest run I've done in a while |
| 21.10.2008 | 7.0 | 12x400. Tried to hold 75s, but seeing as I didn't have a watch and was running separated from everyone for half the workout, I have no idea if I did it or not. 76, 72, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, 75, 75, 76, 72 |
| 22.10.2008 | 6.0 | rosemead. Awesome |
| 23.10.2008 | 4.0 | (2 on, 1 off) x 10. ran alone, so I have no idea how long this run was. Ran up hill and walnut... |
| 24.10.2008 | 0.0 | disneyland with matt... he's still fast even though he hasn't run for the past 3 or 4 weeks. He's going sub 1:57 this year unless a disaster occurs |
| 25.10.2008 | 3.5 | 20 minutes fast at claremont... not really sure where we were but ran near doubletree hotel |
| Total | 26.5 |

| 04.10.2008 | 8.0 | ran to arroyo did tempo loop x 2.5 (9:20, 18:34, 24:10), felt okay but went out a little too fast. Need to do long runs to work on endurance... |

| 07.10.2008 | 8.0 | 8x800 at garfield. Thought i would be tired from 15 mile bike ride earlier today but it wasn't too bad. Ran 2:57, 2:44, 2:52, 2:50, 2:47, 2:48, 2:44, 2:39 |

Preseason 2008 +
| 27.08.2008 | 5.5 | huntington easy. First day back and went pretty okay. |
| 28.08.2008 | 9.5 | full arroyo, not booking it. Took like 75-80 minutes? Not too sure because I didn't start my watch... |
| 28.08.2008 | 0.0 | bought shoes...no running |
| 29.08.2008 | 3.0 | Canons (6x800), ran 3:03, 3:00, 2:57, 3:03, 3:05, 3:06. Could have gone a little faster at the end but this is a lot better than last year. |
| 29.08.2008 | 3.0 | easy for 25 min on south field |
| 30.08.2008 | 9.5 | Patrician. Wasn't as bad as I initially anticipated, but I think I was smart about going uphill not booking it. |
| Total | 30.5 | |
| 31.08.2008 | 4.5 | Easy for 40 min, NFTC on south field |
| 01.09.2008 | 10.0 | JPL, just ran for time, but it should be around 10 miles (80 minutes of running + another 0.5 miles to get to cars and back). Matt ran with us and pushed the pace a little on the way up, but I felt okay when he wasn't going fast. |
| 02.09.2008 | 4.0 | oak grove, 5x1200 + Shenandoah bonus 1200. (4:17, 4:30, 4:30, 4:30, 4:15(?), 4:28(?)). I didn't have a watch and I wasn't close enough to others to really know the last two times. But it's pretty clear I sandbagged that workout. Should have gone faster. More importantly could have gone faster. |
| 02.09.2008 | 3.0 | Lacey and back + 1.5 laps around the park, pretty easy + abs |
| 03.09.2008 | 7.0 | ran Huntingson with scott. Somehow our 8 minute miles dropped everyone...but we were talking the entire way so I don't think I was going too hard. |
| 03.09.2008 | 2.5 | 20 minute easy run on the south field + strides + weight room |
| 04.09.2008 | 8.0 | basically ran lacey long way and did 30 minutes on the North Field instead of San Marino hills because my tendon was hurting. Hopefully this goes away soon. |
| 04.09.2008 | 2.0 | Easy for 16 minutes + abs. Leg felt fine... |
| 05.09.2008 | 5.0 | Garfield long way easy. The tendon didn't hurt this morning, so that's good. |
| 05.09.2008 | 0.0 | just lifted |
| 06.09.2008 | 5.0 | bad first race...30:27 5:50, 11:53, 18:00, 24:34, 30:27... 3rd on team |
| 06.09.2008 | 3.0 | Ran for a bit on North Field with Kangway |
| Total | 54.0 | |
| 07.09.2008 | 3.0 | Easy for 25-30 min, NFTC on south field |
| 08.09.2008 | 9.5 | Full arroyo, no watch (again), but I picked it up a lot on the last two miles like Matt suggested (but I felt good). Hopefully this doesn't mess up Shenandoahs tomorrow. |
| 08.09.2008 | 3.0 | Plios, wow this is going to be sore tomorrow. Surprisingly difficult. |
| 09.09.2008 | 5.0 | 4 Shenandoahs, we were supposed to do 5 but my tendon was getting agitated so I decided to cool it. (4:47, 4:27, 4:19, 4:19). Much better than last year. |
| 09.09.2008 | 2.0 | 14:16 on south field. Shortest workout ever... |
| 10.09.2008 | 6.0 | rosemead (one of my favorites). I don't understand how nobody likes this run... |
| 10.09.2008 | 3.0 | striders at lacey. Garrett thinks i look like a monkey. A freakishly fast monkey |
| 11.09.2008 | 7.5 | Lacey, 5 on 2 off by 5. Felt pretty good except for last one (tendon started acting up on the hill part). Overall did them pretty fast, 10.5 laps |
| 11.09.2008 | 0.0 | 40 minutes on exercise bike, it told me i went 14.52 miles but i'm pretty sure it was actually 0. |
| 12.09.2008 | 6.0 | huntington easy. Then driving for a while... :( |
| 13.09.2008 | 8.0 | trail run (not fast), but felt like i was getting injured... |
| Total | 53.0 | |
| 15.09.2008 | 9.5 | Full arroyo, 75 minutes easy with the freshmen. |
| 16.09.2008 | 5.0 | San Rafael hills, only did one (at 4:52) before my leg started hurting. Then did remainder of casting pond. |
| 16.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 40 min (14.52 miles) |

| 18.09.2008 | 2.0 | ran for 20 min warmup, 6 on 2 off, but stopped at the first one because my left ankle was hurting way too much. Biked 20 min after that. I feel like this season is slowly slipping away from me... |
| 18.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 25 min (6.53 miles). Really really easy... |
| 19.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 35 min, then kept adding on time in 5 min increments until i was at 55 min. don't know how far i went, but it was pretty easy. |
| 19.09.2008 | 2.0 | warmup around westmont course. I miss running... |
| 20.09.2008 | 0.0 | didn't race, my running consisted of booking it to mile markers to get splits. The team did pretty well. |
| Total | 26.5 | |
| 22.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 60 min (21.25 miles), then lifted. Went faster on 2nd half than first... |
| 23.09.2008 | 2.5 | tempo at lacey. I haven't run fast in a while, but this was about how i expected (5:50ish miles, maybe a little faster) |
| 24.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 60 min (21.56 miles), then abs. Got heartrate up to 212 bpm @ 177 rpm for the last minute or so... |

| 26.09.2008 | 0.0 | biked for 45 min (11.77 miles) pretty easy. Tried to keep RPM under 100. |
| 27.09.2008 | 5.0 | Riverside, okay race considering lack of running, PR: 5:22, 11:04, 16:59, 22:51, 28:33.7 (3rd on team, 202nd overall) |
