Warmed up with the team and then did another 2 laps before the first race. For the 1600m Coach Murphy had Davis lead the 1st lap, Read lead the 2nd lap, and me lead the 3rd lap, then 4th lap was every man for himself haha. I had a good time, it helped me get over the difficulties I've been having, I'm ok with the time, especially because it was more of a fun/workout kind of race and yesterday was a very good, tough workout. So the mile went well and I think I will be ready for a big race in two weeks. Then Coach Murphy and Doug let start the sprinters for the 100m, which was really fun! It was also way too loud haha, but I'm grateful for the experience! After that I ran around some more before racing the 800m, there were only about 5 100m heats and some 400 heats in between the mile and the 800m, so I wasn't worried about the time, I took it out comfortably and felt decent, I ran 64 for the first lap and held on for a 2:11, I had fun. And after the 200m heats, we did the 4x400m, and i ran a 55 second split! After a day like this, and after a day like yesterday, that's good. I also ran too slow for the first 100ish, I took it out more like an 800, or even a mile. But it felt good, I think I could run 52-53 right now, I'm excited! Its always fun to race on our track, and I think after these two days of really good work, I'm ready to lead out strong at Copper hills in two weeks. I ran 1.3 with the guys and then another 1.2 on my own later because its such a beautiful day. Good time today, lots of fun and positivity, this season is going to rock!

Great day today Blake. I am excited for you.

I think it is coming together for you, and I am so glad to see that you are having FUN.

I think you are going to have a good season.

By the way, how did you like your new spikes?
