am- 6.75 miles/ 51 min with 25 min tempo and striders. Today went awesome actually. I was a little nervous on how 25 minutes of tempo would go but I thought if the level 3 guys are going 40 minutes tempo, i dont need to be scared. So we start and the first lap and a half we were chillin at 6:15/6:20 pace and then the lead guys started to slow up and so I thought now is the time to lead. I jumped out and wow I felt like I was just floating across the ground! I felt amazing so I pushed the pace to 6:00 for the next 2 laps. Then I wanted to go faster cause i just felt great so i went 5:50/5:45 pace and then I think the level 3 guys were mad at me for picking the pace up when they had 15 min more. Thats when coach said to just go out for the last minute or so and that was the tempo. After that I was just wishing that it would have been a race! I was flying.
pm- 4.69 miles/ 37 min E. Ran out to the running center and tried out some racers. Hayden Hawks was helping me out with that. That guy is awesome. After I tried out all of the racers, he talked to me about my potential and that was a HUGE mental booster to me. After what he said to me about how Cam Levins became who he is now, I was just thinking about our team and winning state and nationals. Wow it really isnt that far out of our reach, we just gotta believe!
