5 min tempo, 400, 8x200m with Jake and Whitney. I ran 62/63 for the 400 and averaged about 31 on the 200s. Not sure I could actually run 2:05ish in the 800m rn and I don't think I'll bother finding out anytime soon.

Got some really fun races coming up. Goals are to

Win Coldwater Traverse

Sub 4:40 at BYU

1, 2 Crossover Half with Jake or win it if he doesn't enter.

All those races within the next 26 days!

Then I'll have twisted fork, founders day 5k, and Des news this summer. Goals there will be win twisted fork, sub 16 at founders day, sub 33 at Des news 10k.

Either big bear or Huntsville marathon this fall and maybe some cross races.
