Good day, I got some good things done. I ran the best buy loop backwards, I really liked it! It went by pretty fast too, maybe not going to Nike SW because less teams will be accepted this year, I don't think I will go if we don't get in the championship, lots of time and money for an open race.

Pre-race! I get to race the 1600m tomorrow!!! And I'm going for a personal record, I want to run sub 4:30 but I believe I can do more than that! It's going to be so much fun!

Bad race, very cold. 30 minute cool down in which I started feeling really weird and my asthma is really bothering me, especially right now. Sometimes I wonder if my medicine is a placebo.

Gully long run hard after the first mile, Tayte and I broke off from the team after a mile or so and started going fast, the rest of the team picked it up later. I was hurting a little on dimpledell road on shut up hill but mostly I wast feeling good and strong and we were running at a hard pace. Ashton twisted his ankle so he will be recovering from that this weekend, we stopped to make sure he was ok for a couple minutes and he got up and did some more miles. But even with the stop and the slow first mile or so, Tayte and I ran 45:00 so it was a really good effort. Probably sub 40:00 pace for the hard miles and I was feeling good.

3 mile warm up and the 5x800m in the snow at cottonwood complex. I ran 2:33, 2:32, 2:30, twisted my ankle on the 4th and ran 2:35, and held on for a 2:32 on the 5th. Then I did a mile cool down. Good workout, I had fun! Nike is annoying, judging by last year they won't be telling us if we made it or not until the day before we leave... Oh well. If we don't make it I'm just going to do a 3 mile time trial on the track to reach my goal. Or maybe a 5k and just look at what I come across the 3 mile at as well. Either way, I'm not going to let these past years of high school cross country end without something huge, like a sub 16:00 3 mile.
