Chasing my Dreams

It was warmer today. We warmed up and I changed into my kinvaras. We did the 2 sets of 10x30seconds with 30 seconds recovery. I've been motivated to get the best out of myself for the rest of my high school career. Ryan did the whole workout with me, which helped me push a little and I think it benefited him as well. We made it 1860 on the first one. I was feeling my ankle tendonitis a little. Over the ten minute break in between my left glute/hip tightened up but it didn't really affect the next set. I think our very last interval was cut slightly short, because we only made it barely past 1850 when she said stop. We still recorded 1860. We did a 15 minute cooldown as a big group. I did hurdle drills and stretched.

Julion was there today, so that was fun. We did TEAM warmup. Then we just did the workout because Rob wasn't there and I didn't want to waste more time. It was a 40 minute run with 4x600s@3200 pace mixed in. The 600s were rough and really killed my legs. I was a little slower than I would have liked but never slower than 5 minute pace. Being in trainers didn't feel great either. My left butt and ankles were feeling it. I did a crappy cooldown after to try and help the legs but it didn't do much. The heat was making things feel even more sluggish.

Dual meet with Northridge. I ran the 1600 just pacing for Saturday. I was like 69 first lap that one was too fast. I hit 74/75 on the other 3 and didn't really kick. I helped Fessler and Bryant a little hopefully though. 4:53.8 My legs hurt quite a bit after though..Easy cooldown. Also did a short warmup before splitting a 56 in the 4x4. 10 minute cooldown after. Legs kinda tired

Did the TEAM warmup, then went to the bathroom. Ran with the Robber. We did 7 miles probably around 6:45 pace. My quads and calves were killing me though. It was hard to run. I did hurdle drills and then some barefoot and strides.

Easy 30 minutes. My legs still didn't feel good. My right shin was hurting a little along with the normal aches. Rob wanted us to do a 400 at race pace as soon as we got back. The wind through me off and my legs were tired. I only hit 77.......  I changed to kinvaras and did two finishes. My right quad strained slightly on the first one. I elevated and stretched in the shade after. Hopefully things feel better tomorrow.

Had a terrible bus ride to the meet because I was was on the edge of a seat and Daunte was like leaning against me the whole time. My back did not feel good after that. I warmed up and my legs felt ready to roll. I was in third position. I got into position after about 400 meters. The first 400 was perfect in 72. Malachi was leading and he didn't run quite as fast as I would have liked through the first mile. I was 5 flat of 5:01. I worked hard that second 1600 and there were three of us that broke away. We still closed negative. I almost got second place but he saw me coming and had another gear with about 50 to go. Rob said I maybe need to really put it out there the 6/7 lap because I don't finish quite as well. Buhrley also said I need to try and run the first 1600 better and run even moreso. I cooled down with Ryan and Fessler. I took it easy and cheered on my teammates. Then I warmed up and got ready to run the 800. I didn't really care what happened. I was 14th going in. I ran decent the first lap but would like to have ran a little faster, it was like 61/62. My legs started to give out 300 meters in though so I really had to fight. I ran a 2:06 for 9th place though so that wasn't bad. I did a long cooldown, which my legs were pretty dead in. Boys won the meet, but still lots of work for the end of the season to be as good as we would like.
