"If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail"-PRE

so today i didnt get the full 8.75 because i showed up late coming from an ortho appointment but i got back right in time for the workout, which i kinda wished i would have had a warmup:)  so my goal time was 5:41 ithink and we started out and i was still feelin my strong paces from last week and so i started out at 5:33! yeah i felt that was a good start and even though it was faster than usual i can go more. so the next i was dumb and let the pain get to me and so i got 5:43. the next i still felt a litl' sore so i got 5:40. the last i felt was pretty strong but i kinda relaxed too much and let Jason, Logan, and Josh pass me at the end. and the time i was looking for didnt come; i got 5:42. but i will just look at this workout and say,"i will always run my warmup and cooldown so i dont get sore and all that crap.

am- easy 3 with the team, almost late but i got there.

pm- easy 4 with striders. i was feeling sick during 2nd period so my mom came and checked me out so i could go home. it was my stomach. i came home and right when i got in bed, my stomach felt like, as Jason would say,"a little viking was just in there trying to pop and explode open my stomach!" but yeah i felt way crappy and then i fell asleep. woke up and felt great so i went to the high school so i could get all my gear out of my locker so i could go running, cause the team was all done when i got there. but yeah at 8sih i took my little sister for 3 miles, did the striders at the high school with the soccer game going, went home and then took my dog for the last mile.

am- artic circle 3 mile morning run

pm- today was 4x800 @ 1600 race pace.  So i was supposed to go like 2:28 for my goal time but i didnt do that great.  the first was 2:34 and i finished like behind everybody. i was mentally not there. i was dwelling on the negatives of doing this workout i didnt realized that i could give more. the second was 2:33. i still was a little negative and then i remembered what Coach had said to us during spring break when we did the mile repeat workout; about we need to come to practice and give our best to the workout, even if your legs hurt and other crap, your mind needs to be always positive. So the next one for the first 400 i started out strong and was behind preston i believe.  Then the last 400 i just started pushin and passed preston and finished after Paul and Uncle Drew. then the last one i went "very strong" and finished 7ish seconds behind Uncle Drew. it felt good to finish behind them. 5.25 miles

So i didnt get to run after school because of the Biology Trip today so i ran on my own around the neighborhoods and then ran my 4x200s on my street.

so today was the Hurricane invite so i was soo happy to get checked out of school early.... well turned out that the announment came for track to go outside for the bus to leave but me, Josie, and mitch didnt hear it because we were outside for PE and weight training:) so we didnt get on the bus so Josie called her dad picked us up and Josie barely got in time for her race. so i didnt even know what race i was running in so when i found out that i was running the 800, i just went on a tempo run with preston, colton, and josh. we went out to the very end of hurricane and i found out that there was a hurricane airport. sad that i didnt know that when i have lived in southern utah all my life. on the way back from the turn-around we did the 10 minute progression tempo

RACE DAY!!! so i was feeling great all day and was thinking that i was going to finish around first in my heat since i was in the slow heat but i was wrong. got 15th and finished right behind Kody Watts so that was good. also PR'd but felt like i couldve done better. Some cedar guy got trampled at the 200m nark and i just about died with him. it was crazy!
