Notes
Tempo: we started moving immediately and gave an honest effort for the entire thing. We hung as a group for the first 3 miles or so and then we started spreading out. I ended up catching Goose and Root joined us shortly after and we chased after Perez, Kerley, and Johnny although they only finished 5-6 seconds ahead of us. Felt pretty good except that last stretch through the woods always mentally kills me.
Hills: Hands down the strongest I've ever ran the hills. Johnny and Nick broke away early but Kerley and I made a really strong 2nd pack. I really focused on bouncing and raising my knees and it actually worked today! I know every day at the hill isn't going to feel like this but today I felt confident and strong the whole time! Tim hammered the last 2 really hard and almost caught up to us which was really nice to see.
Fartlek: Hard close to a tough workout. Felt great on the first one but then my legs started feeling shot on the 2nd and 3rd interval. Ran really tight with Perez, Johnny, Kerley, Nick Hird, Travis, and Joe. Joe through in a huge surge on the last one but that really made me buckle down mentally and I finished right with the front guys even though it killed. Finally running with the Knowing! Now gotta focus on recovery and rest for next week.
