Chasing my Dreams

Warmed up running to Founder's Park. We ran 300's in big groups that were mostly faster than race pace. I ran all of them in spikes since they were short and we weren't getting much recovery at all. They weren't very hard. Nate tried to screw us over on a few though by going way too fast. Cooled down back to the school.

We ran a mile in fourth period. Then we warmed up and practiced starts. 20 minutes 6:59 average. Then some finishes.

It was cool today so I got in a really good warmup before the race. This is random, but Josh Ward gave me a high five while doing run outs. I went out and was in the lead for the first 800. Then Skylar and Kaden came up and I sat right behind them. About 5:11 through the first mile which was a little fast but about what I wanted. I hung right there. Skylar gapped me a little in that second mile, and I was able to get ahead of Kaden. I went through two miles in 10:39 which was about exactly what I wanted as I was trying to simulate region, which was hard since almost everyone was taking things fairly easy today. I backed off over the last mile because I wanted to save my legs and because Rob was freaking out.. Got in a much longer and better cooldown than the rest of the team.

Warmed up. Then did 30 minutes of a structured fartlek. Then cooled down.

We warmed up and threw on the spikes. We ran 12 250's. They were really easy.. We shouldn't be running that short of a distance for xc, expecially since it isn't really going to help us peak. Cooled down.

This morning we met as a team. I lead the mile warmup. I took off on my own and didn't do what the team did, but ran 2.5 miles averaging 6:21.

In the afternoon I did my pre meet routine. I warmed up and went to Bingham park. There I ran 2 350's on the grass that were at race pace to lock it in and then did 4 strides to get the legs moving. I cooled down back to my house.
