Just the usual stuff.

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E, Decathlon Part 2.

Today was pretty epic. So the juniors were doing the ACT so everyone else had no school. Yeah pretty great. So Xander, Mitch and I partyed with some friends and yah, I loved it. Then came practice and todays decath stuff was the 400m and the discus and the high jump. High Jump was bad, no need in talking on that. Discus was 62' 3''. And my 400m was the greatest of all. I am so happy about this!! I got a 56.64!!!!!!! PR'd by 4 seconds, and it was my first time going sub 60......hehe yah thats kinda embarassing but oh well. And yah thats all.

Good stuff, I am ready to squat more weight, I am at 185 rn but I am ready for more!

pm- 9.8 miles/ 70 min total; 20 min warm(last 5 at tempo pace), 1500m race, recovery jog, 2x800 @CV pace(3min rec), cool to time.

Great race today. The first couple laps felt slow, and I was just right on Carsons shoulder. I took the lead and tried to push us faster, I dunno if I anything, but I sure felt like I was pushing the pace. With 300m left I was like "sprint time!" but I was slow to getting into the sprint mode so that was a bumma. Then with 20m to go Julien and Xander passed me. Our top 5 guys finished within 2 seconds which was epic! I am so excited for next week!!! Good day, and also the workout was perfect, times were right on.

am- 12.28 miles/ 90 min run with 20 min progression tempo.

Great run with Mitch and Xander up at the Southwest running north in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. We met at 5:45 and it was still dark so that was a little sketch cause we were hearing a couple weird noises but it was chill. Sunrise this morning was sooooo beautiful. Tempo was right on, we even went almost a minute over cause it just flowed and I was just feeling good anyways. 

Preference is today, I'm gonna go so ham at the dance, it will be amazing!
