Today we did 5x800s with a 400 at the end. I guess I forgot that we were doing a 400 at  the end but I still pulled off a 70. First we warmed up 2 miles, then we stretched out and did some striders. My 800s went like this: 2:43, 2:37, 2:30, 2:36, 2:20, and my 400 was a 70. So it was a good workout, the first 4 800 repeats felt pretty easy and good, and for the last one my goal was to run with Kramer (He was hitting 2:20s, and he did a 6th 800 10 seconds faster after the last 800 we did.) I achieved my goal, and I am happy about that and I gave it my all so that was also good. The 400 went pretty well, I think I hit a decent time, I think closing a 5k with a 70 probably isn't too bad. In between the 800s I walk/jogged 400 meters, I jogged about half of it. Overall I am pleased with how I did on this workout, I feel like I didn't hold anthing back on that last 800 and 400. Then we cooled down for 15 minutes, I'd say about 1.5 miles. I will do some core today as well. Tomarrow is a 2 a day so I'm happy about that. I'm very excited for Grass Relays at American Fork this weekend, I want to see what I can do and what my team can do.

Great finish to the workout, Blake.

Looking good... I'm excited to see how you do this weekend. And more excited to see the team race when I'm back in town next week. I'll be back before Murray.

Keep that positive attitude going and keep working hard.

Thanks Jake, I will do my best! I'm really excited for Murray also, that was one of my favorite races last year!
