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

am- the usual stuff of the morning. I like mornings cause of the great weather

pm- today was 1x1000@ racing, then 300, 200, 100 sprints. The 1000 was okay, I kinda sat back til 300m left and then sprinted in and finished 2nd. then I redeemed myself on the sprints with a 44 for the 300, a 28 for the 200, and a 13 for the 100. Solid workout today and I felt aiight.

am- nice easy peasy tweasy measley run.

pm- We did the pre-race for tomorrow which is region!!! so dope I am super pumped. we ran out to the Nisson Park and then ran on the trail down there. I found this super cool hide-out and so Skylar and Andrew and I checked it out so the rest of the run we ran on our own. Got back and did 4x200s and then it was the youngsters track meet. I wish I coulda ran it cause they got dope medals. 

am- Nice chill morning. After the run my momma trimmed up my hair all nice!

pm- I went over to the region meet and ran with the Warbeast and Math-Addict Mitch and Andrew joined us too. Great to be able to just go do a chill run. Got some grass running in too so that was good. Some great races from everybody with the 1600m. Thats all I watched before I left to my house.

WORD OF THE DAY: from his amazing 1600m race, today's word is "abel". Now you may be thinking that I spelled that word wrong, but my brotha from another motha Skylar Abel was a beast today and ran a 4:35, which is a PR. He does not have a blog but he is still a beast.

am- nice easy stuff. Im ready for today's race! super pumped.

pm- YES!!!! I am sooo happy right now. So the meet got delayed cause of lightning and i started thinking wow this is gonna be a long day. But then 20 minutes later we were out and warming up to race. I ate a sandwich during the wait which will be back later in this entry. So we get out there and I am now pumped again to race. Bang! and we were off. I made sure that I would not go out crazy cause I would fall off. Instead I stayed right behind Eric, Josh, Spencer and Preston. So the first mile went by and we were at 4:53! Oh yeah I was feeling it and I knew it. So at this point I was thinking I would just qualify by time not place, and so I really was pushing hard to be on pace. I made sure that I wouldn't fall off hardcore like I have always. But then I started hurting bad on the 7th and my sandwich was wanting to come back up for some fresh air so somethin?! haha that's when Mckaid form CV passed me fast. But I went after him and thats when I realized that I was gonna have to qualify by place cause my 7th lap was soo slow. And then God gave me a pretty great gift: Eric was falling off hard core! I passed him and then Coach was like "you cant let him beat you!" and I went nuts. I was gone like a mad man and finished 4th. Last spot for state. Wow I was just so overwhelmed with happiness and relief, it was like a words can't explain moment. So now it is all in for state. I am glad I have this opportunity to race so I gotta give it all.

pm- No more morning runs so that's why if ya all wondering. Today we went out to the Virgin and did a few fartleks too. We found a tennis ball and after the run we played wall-ball. Today was just chill and dope!

pm- Today Coach just said to get in a 30-45 minute run so my bro Devo and I went down to the Virgin and looped up on 2450 east and it was a great run. Saw like usual weird stuff ya see at the Virgin on a Saturday afternoon....yeah. Wow great weather tho it is so beautiful, I am lovin' the rain instead of the heat. its great!

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "mowing" cause that is what I saw at the Virgin and that is what I did three times today... but what I did was a different mowin' then the peeps at the Virgin. Mowin' means to be in the act of mow, which is to cut down with a machine. Ex: Definition Dallen was mowing his lawn today.
