Desert Chiva Running

3pm- today I tried out my beast new Brooks and they were like running on a cloud. We had a goal pace 1000 and then 3,2,1, at finishing speed. Although my new shoes are dope and gold (which i posted a picture of their swag on instagram @alex_____hill) they are like padded bricks. That is an exageration but yeah they are way heavier than my Kinvara 4s. So for the speed of this workout it was really hard and I kind of wanted to take them off. But they are still really comfortable I will just have to save them for easy runs

630am- easy run with the boys

3pm- hey the team left me but thats ok I ran with my freshman bros. They were being lame about running through the desert but it was ok. they had no idea were we were running. We stopped by the door factory were dylan works and got water bottles to run with

after that we had the championship youngster track meet and I watched my sister beast and feast and I did the signal flag for the rest of the time. I only messed up like once

630am- 20 minutes easy. 

4pm- Region 9 Championships- 1600m

I did not make the fast heat so basicly i had to change my race plan. I saw there was some decent guys in my heat though so the plan was let them take me through the first 800 and then take over the race and go for the win and PR in the process. The race started and a Hurricane guy got way out in front but I was not worried cuz I was confident that I was in the right place. at like 650 I could hear coach telling me to get out of that pack and so I started moving up and Jensen Lambert went to work as well, staying right on my tail. The 3rd lap I tried to keep extending the gap between me and Jensen and close the gap between me and the Hurricane kid. Lap 4 I was still feeling good and ready to kick hard and take the W. I moved into first with like 250 to go and Jensen must have been working his but off cuz he was still right with me taking the lead with 200 left. I gave it all I had and moved around him and took off the last 100 and won by 3 seconds. 

Although it was a good race it was a slow one. so that sucks bad. No PR. No freshman record. Not a very fun way to end the season on another disapointment. I actually did have some good races but no great ones. I know i could have broken 440 and it really sucks that I didnt. 

430pm- Region 9 Championships- 3200m

The race got delayed by lighting. I ran slow. I negative PRed by 22 seconds so yeah no state qualifying for me. Just not a good race. It sucks because I was so frickin close to qualifying but nope. It is a pretty sucky way to end the season but it is what it is. I had a great season but I cant help to feel like I let myselft down. I missed state qualifying by .38 and missed the freshman record for the 1600 by like 1 second over and over again. I failed to achieve my goals and I know I couldve. Time to get my butt in gear and train HARDCORE cuz next year Im not going to suck, I will be fast as
