Long run.  I felt really good at the start, faded in the middle and felt pretty tired towards the end.  I don't think I overworked myself too much though, so good day.

Did a lot of exercises to try to loosen up my upper body, which was tight today and yesterday.

Anaerobic speed workout in preparation for the meet Friday.  Felt really good about the times and the level of control.  I've drank a lot of water the past couple days, and worked on flexibility and it really helped at the end of the workout. My arms and legs were tracking great.

Ran 4:01.5;  I led through 1300, got passed by one of my teammates and then made a late pass at the end.  I didn't close as well as I'd hoped and my hips and back got tight at the end.  My technique tweaks showed up less, which I'd expect because I didn't think about it. I think if I kept relaxed and got my hips under me I'd feel less tight.  Got the NCdub qualifier though so I'm headed to indoor natties!  Maybe I'll think about the technique more tomorrow in the 800.

Ran 1:51 today in the 8.  Went out way too slow (56 mid I think), got a boxed and a little tripped up, got boxed again, but closed well the last 100 (swung wide to lane 4-5 off the turn) and finished 3rd. I think I closed the best out of everyone and I felt like I made up a ton of ground on the leaders the last 60. Good speed work, but definitely a frustrating couple of days.  I'm not assimilating the technique as quickly as I'd hoped, and boy did it show up in the races this week.  The good news is that I didn't injure myself, I'm not sore (at all!), and I get the next couple of days to keep trying out the technique and training.  I'll do an LR tomorrow, some hard core strides Monday, and a workout Tuesday.  I'm going to really put the hammer down in the 3k next Saturday.
