Today was a track workout, the bad thing was, it was in Dimple Dells indoor "track". I started out with a 2 mile warmup and then started on my 400's (2.75 laps). It was hard to run on that track becasuse it wasn't air conditioned, the "track" was cement, and they had very sharp turns, Plus there was a bunch of old people walking around it.

So last night I was playing soccer with my family and rolled my ankle bad enough that it was hard to walk, so today was spent on an elliptical. Not the most fun workout but I did a hour on it with 6 30 second maxed out pace.

Today was a 5 mile run with 20 stadiums at the end. I decided that because my ankle was feeling a lot better I could start double days again so I did 12 more stadiums to finish with a total of 32 stadiums.

Today is probaly going to be my favorite workout of the week. We ran at the Olympic Oval because our track isn't opoen yet. We did a 30 minuet warm-up (4.5 miles), 2 800s, 4 400s, and a 10 minuet cool-down (1.5 miles). My 800 splits were 2:31 both times and my 400 splits were 65, 69, 70, 70. I was dead after the workout, but I was feeling good at the beginning so I decided to push the team hard today.

We ran flying 40s today where you sprint 40 meters as hard as you can, and then jog 2 laps around the track. Ran 6 of those and then Murph threw in a planking contest and 2 minuets of burpees.
