We did a 2 mile warm up and then an 800m at max effort, I ran a 2:08 which is not bad. I ran a 2:12 last year and that was pr from freshman year track and I ran a 2:08 for my pr in track sophomore year so that was interesting. I'm happy with that time, I probably could have gotten an even faster time with spikes. Then we ran a 400 30 mins later, I ran a 56 second 400 which ties my best times for the 400m, I ran 56 second 400s a few times during freshman tracks and I never got to race a 400 during track this past spring so I don't know what I could have gotten, I'm sure faster than 56 but I want to find out. I'm going to race some 400s this track season if I can. The we had a 5 minute rest before another 400, I hit 59 seconds, coming in the final stretch I had goal of keeping under 60 seconds and I did that so that felt good. We were doing a lot of laps inbetween these of course, I did about 2400 meters inbetween these and then I did a little over a mile for the cooldown. I feel good about this workout, I'm ready for park city.

You looked GREAT out there today!

Were those muffins from you? I had a hard time reading the writing. If so, Abby and Andy are loving them. Thanks.

Awesome, Blake.

You're running middle distance PRs (without spikes) in the middle of XC season! That's pretty cool.

Big day at PC tomorrow. Looking forward to watching you throw it down. See ya up there.
