am- easy peasy 4 miles in the morning! Today just feels like a great day!

pm- So the workout today was 4x1600 and Coach had us group up and just go with a average pace between the group. My group was Presto, Andrew, Alex, Mitch and me! I felt a little nasty cause my lunch was trying to come back up! Yeah not so good. Anywho, our goal time was 5:22. Our first couple were good. Started a lil' slow, 5:25, but got quicker on the next with a 5:21. Then the third we slowed down on the third lap so our time was 5:23. The last was just great, Alex pushed hard out the first 800, and then Presto, Andrew and me took over for the second half and finished with a 5:17. The 300's were okay, I came in at 47 both times. Great day and weights came after so that made it better!

Congrats to our PV Basketball team winning state on saturday! It was sooo legit.

am- Josie, Alli, Anna, and Karli and Me met at the high school at 8 cause we didnt have school cause the Juniors had the ACT. So we all were together for the first lil' bit but then me and Josie sped up and went farther cause we just wanted to go faster. And after we went to IHOP and got free pancakes! We saw some Desert Hills xc peeps so that was kwel! 

pm- We ran out on Telegraph and then down through Hell's Hole which ended up being like 8 miles. I learned lots of meanings for words that I didn't know before.... yeah I will just leave it at that;) Super legit run and lots of funny stuff. The striders tho were soooooo cold! After when we went inside to do our BeastandFeast's, I was late to do um cause I took 8 minutes to tie my shoes. My hands were frozen.  

Pretty sweet, I got a recruiting letter from Yale today! I was pretty excited and now some dudes in my class call me "Yale Boy". That's a wrap

am- Wow I thought it would be cold today cause of the frost but it was real nice! 

pm- Today was a pretty beast workout; it was 12x400's at 1600 race pace. My goal time was 70 seconds and after the 3rd, 6th, and 9th ones we did heartrate. So my times were 71, 70, 70, 70, 70, 69, 69, 70, 70, 69, 69, and 69. Great workout, I really tried to push that second half and thats were I would gap our group (Andrew, Mitch, Alex, and later Jake). My heartrates were good too! after the 3rd it was 118 bpm, after the 6th one it was 126 bpm, and after the 9th one it was 124 bpm! So I can say that it was a solid day for me. And me and Andrew practiced handing off the baton and we messed up so we had to do 25 push-ups. I felt weak after doing those so I went in the weight room and pumped out some hard-core reps.

pm- Today we did a good ol' easy run and 4x200s for the prerace stuff! We ran up foremaster and everybody but Andrew, Paul and me were being lameo and going super slow up the hill. oh well the run was great; I had to stop at Artic Circle to take a john so everybody was halfway done with their 200s. I have no idea how fast I was running those but it felt fast! That is a wrap
