Going into the race today I was feeling a bit sore and stiff. My lower legs were bugging me a bit before getting warmed up but once I started the warm up they were not really a problem anymore. The race went fairly well. The first two laps of the race like always were really good and then once I got into the 3rd lap I began to feel the elastic acid building up in my legs so I started focusing on pumping my arms and making sure to stay focused on the people a head of me. The last lap I made sure to stay focused and engaged but I felt that my legs were not moving as fast as I hoped they would. I thought that the effort that I put out into the race today was not really shown through my time.

Just went for a short shake out run before the race tomorrow. Was feeling a bit sore on the outsides of my lower legs but once I got running I started to feel better and wasn't as sore. Ready to race tomorrow!

Workout today went very good. During the tempo loop, my legs were feeling a bit heavy so I was really focusing on pumping my arms. When coming inside and after the Active WU I was doing some quicker running today and I really enjoyed it. I definitely got to a Wednesday effort today because once I finished the last 100m of the second set I had my hands on my knees.

The pool workout was good and I was pushing myself today focusing on form and staying up tall. I found today that my shoulders were very tight so I was trying to find different ways that I could relax them. Today I was really pushing myself to be better than last week and I felt like I really did accomplish that today.

15mins CD

Workout today went very good. I was feeling strong and fast. When running outside I was feeling very smooth and fast. When coming inside and running around the track for 10mins it was very challenging and it was pretty tiring but I know that this is what makes me stronger. I was really focusing on using my arms when it was getting hard when the arms are moving the legs will follow along. Overall, it was a good Monday workout because when going into the CD it was difficult at the start of it but after a couple of minutes I regained myself and was after to push though it.

The long run went better than I thought it would. When I got up in the morning I wasn't happy to be running because I was tired and It was cold outside so I was not looking forward to the run. The first 10mins of the run were a bit difficult trying to get my sore legs moving but after that, I started to feel better and started to get into the groove.
