Well I hurried down to the locker room to get changed and head up to the track because it was such and amazing day!! It was soooo warm and beautiful outside i just had to hurry! (plus perfect short tanning time! ha ha ha XD) So we did our two laps for warm up, and then we started agilities. I asked Nathan if he know what the workout was cause i had no idea and hadn't talked to Paxton all day except for when she told me to go to class cause i was lollygaging to debate :P So after all that we started the work out, this had to be probably the hardest work out she has given me. Originally I was suppose to do 3x (4x200, 1000, 2x200) but she knows 200's are too explosive on my hamstring cause they are too short so my work out was 3x (2x400, 1000, 400) not too bad i thought cause i've done one exactly like this before...... only this time i would be going faster... a lot faster!! my splits were: 69, 68, 3:11, 66 for the first set, 69, 68, 3:11, 67, for the second set and finally: 68, 68, 3:08, 65!!! it was insane! sooooo hard and intense! i was feeling like i was a little slower on the 400's cause i should be hitting 67-68 at this point, but then again i was running by myself and i'm recovering from being sick so that could be it but it really was harder than the last one cause it was at a faster pace! i feel sooooo accomplished though!! 4:30 mile here i come!! :D so after i went down and stretched with Ryan and Dustin (White rice, not India) and Ryan was complaining about the sprinters workout (ok this totally proves that Distance Runners are awesome and beasts!! Go Us!!! :D ok so he's a sprinter and he said that they only did 4 200 meeter runs and stuff and he felt like he wasn't being pushed or challenged enough so he went and talk to Paxton to see if he could do anything, and she had him run 400's with Tyler who was doing a 800 meter runners workout. and he totally hates the sprinters workouts cause they are too easy for him (and keep in mind Ryan ran Cross Country) and so now he's starting to do our workouts and stuff, it's pretty funny! Sprinters don't know what we are made of!! ha ha i decided to take an icebath and i asked White Rice if he wanted to, and he said he'd never taken one before but would like to try it! ha ha ha you should have seen him shiver! sooooooooo funny, i hope in and it didn't seem very cold and it was 54 degrees!! we took one for 15 minutes and then i went to get changed in the locker room. GOT SOME GOSSNER MILK FROM LEES!!! YUMMY!!! BEST STUFF EVER!! overall very hard and good workout! i'm definately sore and looking forward to a fun 10 mile or so run with Susannah Hurst tomorrow morning and then breakfast and what ever we make up after that!!!! I'm soooo happy right now :D

Haha sprinters do not know real workouts! Freshman year Taylor was a sprinter but by the end of the season we had talked him into doing cross country the next year so we got him to come to summer workouts and after the first one he said "you guys are right, distance workouts are harder"
