AM- easy 30. My legs were dead so so dead.

PM- 15 min warm 3xmile repeats with an all out 200 and cool down to time. We had the repeats at goal race pace for region (6:15) then for the first one we were supposed to hit 10 sec faster than that (6:05), the second one was supposed to be 15 sec slower than our race pace (6:30) and the last one was 5 seconds faster than race pace (6:10). My first one I got out fast and led the pack strong for the whole one pretty much, but my shins were hurting a lot. I think it was about 6:06ish. The second one I got out strong and led with rylee for the most part and ended in the pack with probably 6:28? The last one I was trying everything to just stay in there. I have no idea what my time ended with. I didn't stay with the pack. On the last lap I came back and finished good and strong but I CANNOT lose the pack when I'm tired. Coach says I just need to believe in myself and I suppose that's true I just don't know where to start. The 200 was very strong for me and me and Jacey fought for it good. Good workout overall. I need to work on that last mile a ton. Maybe start always picking it up at the end of runs/workouts, even easy runs. I'll work on it. But I think it was good because my shins were hurting lots and I wanted to take one off after every one but I kept in there and I'm glad I did. That's one step forward

AM- don't know about my legs they're feeling trashy. Fire alarm went off twice before school started and the entire hall by the locker room was filled with smoke. We barely got out alive 

PM- 40 min with half of it on the grass. Holy moly my legs are struggling these last few runs. Also I have like 5 tests and 15 homework assignments due Thursday. My teachers hate me probably

Shoutout to all the girls for asking literally every guy in the school to sadies the day after homecoming. It's fine I'm gonna ask someone cool like Nathan gledhill probs

AM- easy 30 legs felt better still tired

PM- at bloomington hills park, 15 min warm, 15 min tempo then straight into a 100/100 workout where we did 100 at all our pace then 100 at tempo and we did 10 of each other those. I felt way good on the tempo stuck in there strong and convinced myself that I wanted to be in the pack. The 100s we broke up a bit before we started so I was a little bit behind ellie and Caroline and I worked my way up to them and passed them finished with Brianna cuz she was all by herself. I felt way good on these as well. A super sick workout and a good step forward. Keeping positive. Then cool down about 10 minutes

AM- slowww run because holy moly my body is tired. It's that time of the season I suppose.

PM- hot nails easy run. Roberts sang to us and it was sooo good and also he played the guitar and I think the guitar is so impressive I love it. Then we ran and it was actually cool 98 degrees but as hot as it gets I'd rather run in summer than in winter any day.

AM- easy 30 we told all our dreams and meskerem had one about the dhells boys shooting us and it was hilarious.

PM- 15 warm up, 1,2,3,2,1 workout then cool down. The Cedar invite was today so we went over to the region course to do it. I felt decent. We packed really good and I never fell off I just felt kinda weird. I need to drink more water and get more sleep. Then we went over to cedar and cheered. Everyone did way good and I'm pretty sure we were all high especially meskerem she was cracking us up

easy 45 min and I felt soo good. I ran up green springs drive to the gas station then turned down towards fire station hill but instead of going up it I turned up quail ridge and ran by nicks house and back down. when I got done with that loop it was only 4 miles and 30 minutes so I extended down by the park and around the starting place of the desert. Ended with like 5.5 and I have a weird tendon in my leg that's really sore so I've been icing that. Also I had work this morning so I didn't get to go to the marathon but shoutout to all the people that ran it cause that's sick. Also it's starting to get really cold and I'm not loving that
