Today was the Davis Invitational. I was doing the 1600, 3200 (Grr.) And the 4x4 relay. I did a half mile loosen up with Patrick and then stretched for a bit. Then I did 2 laps around the block, which was 2 miles. I then went and did some strides with Amanda and we raced. My first 2 laps were alright, but I wish that I could have pushed harder. I advanced on my 3rd lap, and finished strong my 4th. Unfortunately my goal was to make it to BYU Invite next week, but my time wasn't fast enough :(

I did another loop around the block for a loosen up mile, then ran around inside of Davis because it was snowing outside. They procrastinated the meet for a few minutes to see if it would clear up, so we moved our stuff inside and camped.

Then I did a warm up for the 3200 meter, asking anyone if they're willing to kill me. I absolutely HATE the 3200 with a burning passion! I was doing okay physically, but I got a 6:25 for my first mile. Then it really started to hurt. I couldn't help it, I was in so much pain and feeling so much hatred that I cried it out. A Park City girl was nice, she encouraged me to go on and that I would make it, but at the time I couldn't take it. When I finished, I cried more and got really moody and snappy at everyone. Then I did a couple more drills to get ready for the 4x4.

Amanda was our starting leg, and she passed it off to me. I got a 75 for my lap, and passed it to Maggie. Sarah finished us off for a time of 4:57, which was our goal, to break 5. After, I went on a cool down to be at 8 miles today and then Michaela took me to her house to have some lunch, which made me feel a lot better and I stopped getting mad at everyone. But I still don't like it when people tell me I did amazing when I straggled and died, because that's just lying.
