10/19-10/25 recovery week

I think updateing this weekly is going to be a lot easier for me, so I'm going to try it for a while.

10/19-off

10/20- 7 easy at the state park. I ran super slow 7:14 pace because i couldn't see a thing that early in the morning.

10/21-Tempo+ some extra- Today coach wanted us to have a quality workout but did not want to kill us. So he gave us the option of a light tempo run or a few mile repeats at threshold. I was the only one who elected to run the tempo, because everyone else was running the mile repeats and i did want to run with anyone.
So I left the track and ran our 4 mile tempo loop. I missed the first mile but I was 11:08 at 2 miles( the hilly part) 16:32 at 3miles and 21:47 at the end. It was super easy too. I got through it really easy. When I got back i asked Jesse if i could run a couple of 800's to get a little bit more work in.
So i did. I ran the first one in 2:21 and felt ok. As soon as i started taking some rest though, Jesse asks me what i think i can run for an all out 800 right then. I smiled and started thinking about it, I havent ran an all out 800 since high school so this would be intresting. Judgeing by how i felt I said 2:10( my pr is 2:03). He said to give it a go and I did.
Wouldn't you know it, I ran 2:10.49 haha. Good workout, i was very pleased. 8 miles for day.

10/22- 8 miles easy- Today we had practice at the state park, but it had been raining a lot so I was not going to run in there. As soon as I started running back home from the park, the rain started dumping all over us. Most people did not run, but I had already started so I ran back. I was drenched. I probably ran somewhere around 6:30-6:35 pace.

10/23- 6miles easy. I accidently ran 6:31 pace, i tried to run 6:45's but I was feeling so good my body just made me run that fast so i did.

10/24- MASTER BLASTER!!- The master blaster consist of 32 400's at basically a 3k race pace with 45-50 sec of rest between each. This seems impossible, but after you get through the first dozen, your body gets in a grove and you stay comfortably in it until you have like 8 to go. It gets hard after that, especially because normally people pick it up here.
I ran all of the first 22 in 70-71 and all of the last 10 65-69.
This workout is suppose to help us peak at confrence. Last year it seemed to work, I had a great race at confrence last year. I want to perform even better this year so hopefully this is what i needed. 10 miles for day.

10/25- 8miles easy in garden oaks neighborhood in houston. I felt really good considering I ran 32-400's the day before. I ran 6:36 pace with ease.

47 miles for the week
