I wasn't feeling incredible today. 3 tests and I left my water bottle at home. I felt tired today, I am feeling a lot better now that I've had some more cups of water. We did 4x300m at 400m to 800m pace, I ran them all in 42 or 43 which was pretty good. Region is going to be a battle for anything, I am going to fight hard to run faster than 4:30. Running under 10:00 for the 3200m shouldn't be a problem but I am still going to run as fast as I can and see how fast I can get. I will probably wake up tomorrow and do 5 or 6 miles in the morning. I need to relax and get ready for region, its going to be really fun!

5 miles in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Region is tomorrow, my goal for the 1600m is 4:28. Hopefully conditions will be good!

I had a lot of things go wrong today, bad mentality, not enough warmup, and the race went out very slow (2:19 at the 800m). I would have taken the lead but I couldn't get around everyone without wasting a lot of energy. It probably would have been worth it but thats ok. I finished exactly where I was seeded, uneventful race. Tomorrow will be important, I need to run under 10:00. Right now I need to relax and think race strategy.

Another bad race. Went out at 67 for the first lap. I will go to jv region for another attempt to break 10:00.

Getting behind on my posts! 3 easy miles, we did it around alta and stopped a couple times for Kramer to sing the national anthem and stuff.

Nice run in the gully. Not a great week for me, don't know what happened. I am thinking of running the 3200m at jv region, probably more likely for me to break 10:00 than 4:30. And also if I am thinking about attracting any kind of colleges, I should have run under 10:00 by junior year.
