AM - 9 miles. 4x1600 at 85% (goal - 5:35) with 3 min. recovery and 2 mile warm/cool. I finally did this workout like I'm supposed to. My times ended up being 5:37, 5:34, 5:31, and 5:21. I really focused on keeping my breathing calm today so that I would be able to stay relaxed and hit my times and it really helped. A lot of guys were going pretty slow as well so I was able to use them to pull me. I think it also helped that Coach yelled at the guys that weren't where they were supposed to be and got me kick started on those last two. The last was a real confidence booster. I stuck in right behind Abel for the first lap and half before he started to gap me which really shows that I can run fast. I just need to kill fear.
PM - 3 miles. I just got a quick run in while I was up in Zion.
