Today we ran the warm up, then another mile, and then 4 laps in which we ran at 800m pace on the straightaways and jogged the turns. Then I went and did another 4 miles by myself because i'm not running the meet tomorrow. I was really happy to hear for sure that I am going to Pineview, but I was also really disapointed that I am not running the 1600m there, I was really looking forward to that race all year long and I was hoping to run in the seeded heat and go for sub 4:30. I don't know if I will be ready for sub 10 minute 3200 but I will do my best to run that and our team has a real chance at winning the 4x800m so I will really have to go out and give a great effort in that race. Honestly I think our team could qualify for nationals in the 4x800m, the cut off is 8:03 or so and I'm pretty sure our team could go sub 8, if Kramer and Brayden run sub 1:55 and Alec and I run sub 2:05, or something like that, our team could do it. That would be really awesome! I will do my best in the 3200m and see what happens, I am kind of down about not getting to run my favorite race but at least I am going.

You don't have to run sub 10 in your first race. The idea is to PROGRESS towards a goal!

Thanks, I will do my best!
