am- easy almost 4 miles/ 30minutes with the team! It is way warmer here in st gezzy than Hawaii. btw, I was in Hawaii for the last week and was a domo and didnt really run. I will pay for that.

pm- So todays workout was 4x1600's like usual. Goal time was 5:22. So I really was happy with how I did compared to what I thought. My times were 5:24, 5:27, 5:34, and again 5:34. I was a few meters behind Warbeast and Andrew for the first three. Then the last one I went beast with 2.5 laps left when everyone was struggling. That was good cause it got Andrew up and then he lead the last lap. I was dying but its good that Coach had me still do the workout cause its my own ---- fault for not running. Then we had 300s and I did really good for not running: 47 and 47. And weights after so I can get big;)

am- nice morning run with the team. It is really nice weather in the morning but not so in the afternoon:/

pm- we started real quick cause we put on a youngsters meet @4 which was basically just PV kiddos. We ran out to Nicks house and then down through the desert over there and looped through Washington. We ran past Sandbergs and it was super low. 5.25 miles total, 45minutes

am- I didnt get good sleep but I felt good for the run? weird

pm- Todays workout of the day was 6x800 @ 3200 goal pace with HR check every 2. So my goal pace was 2:30 along with Warbeast, Uncle Drew, Alex the Lion, Mitch,  and Somethingdope. The first was right on for me, 2:30, but I was just feelin pain. The next four were right on 2:32 but I felt pain in the knee and had to take a major deuce on the last so I ran a 2:36:/ Then we cooled down around the school and the Warbeast tripped on coachs feet and wow that was funny. Poor kid had to sprint ahead of us to gather himself together. Total time was 50 minutes.

pm- We did pre-race easy run around town, went over to sullivans and did the shoe run, it was hard core! looped over to Sandbergs and some guys jumped in but I didnt want to. Got back to the high school and did 4x200's and those were good. Then we ran the youngsters meet and that was terrible cause lil' kids are just out of control! I am excited for the 1600 tomorrow and even more for the 3200 on saturday!

am- easy 4 morning run. I didnt run yesterday morning cause my knee was hurting.

pm- Well I just dont know what to say. I had probably the worst 1600m race ever. It was very disappointing. I just feel off. We warmed up for 2.5 and then raced and after did 4 miles to cool and finish up time. Hopefully I can put in a good 3200m tomorrow. I just am really disappointed with how I did.

am- So we warmed up for a bit and then jumped on the track. I wanted to do better than yesterday so I went up front with Andrew behind Preston, Bronco, and Spencer who were ahead by a bit. I was going and then I started losing my focus and hurting and just feeling empty. I don't know what was happening. Soon, my form was crap and I was falling off quick. It felt like I was like dragging my feet and dropping my hips bad. Coach kept yelling to bring my hips up and finally I tried to finish strong the last 3 laps. I was 200m to go when the Bushars and my parents yelled at me to at least get the dude ahead of me. I got him but then got passed by two dudes and I just crossed the finish line and cried. I thought, "What happened to me? Why did I feel so defeated?" I went to my stuff on the field and sat and just cried for 5 minutes. I gotta just put this weekend behind me. I wasnt diligent with running during Spring break and so it came back and kicked me in the butt. I now know that I have to just have to get real serious now. I love running and I love the team, and I cant let them down like this again. I went home and my dad gave me some exercises to work on my hips so I can perform my best. Once I can get that down and just get my confidence back I will be ready to perform amazingly.
