pm- so today was a nice day. we had 4x400's at goal race pace. So it was Alex, Preston, Andrew, Nick and I running it together. The first was right on what we wanted: a 1:13. Then the second was quicker than we were supposed to: 1:10. And then we did it again: a 1:10. And the last one felt just like the second and third besides the push at the end but turned out to be a 1:05! So that was pretty kewl. We did it in our spikes and yeah. A nice chill day and my lil' sister came wid the youngsters so I am pretty proud of her!

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "wind" because it was pretty windy today, I'm not gonna lie! Wind is a vibration of air and known for its lameness when running into it in a track workout or race.... espeacially a race actually! Ex: A cold gust of wind ripped brittle brown leaves from the limbs of old oak tree, tossing them carelessly in front of the headstone below.

pm- today we did some good ol' Master-blasters and they were great! I really have been working hard on my crappy form, and it has been good. I really have a slow turn-over so I have tried to just pick up my feet right when I hit the ground and it was good. And our team of Jacey, J-word Jason and I won the Master-Blasters so that was pretty great. then we all put the hurdles and high jump and everything away in the dungeon. Wow it is so crazy that this year is over, kinda sad. I have had a blast this sophmore year but its time to move onto the next year. Cross Country is why I am happy this year is ended, but thats prolly it.

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is kind of a mind blowing word if you think about it in a crazy way, and the word is "time". Time is the continuing process of exsistance throughout past, present, and future. Time has no beginning and no end. Ex: I learned about time in Physics this year and that is one of the many things that just blew up my mind.

pm-  today we did a the usual shoe run and it was awesome. I felt a lil' sore today but nothing serious. Anywho, after the run, we did a 300, 200, and 100 meter sprints with spikes on. I did good, the 300 was 44sec, the 200 was probs a 28, and the 100 was 13ish. I didnt have a watch so I didn't know my other sprint times. Solid day. Wow I feel relieved but stressed out at the same time? I guess I'm just realizing that the year is over and I have had a hard time with some friends at school. I hate drama. Okay thats what I gotta say, I wanna go to bed.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "sleep" because I need some of it. Sleep is the condition of resting the mind, soul, and physical well beings! Ex: I want to go sleep with a sheep on a steep..... okay thats all.

am- So this is it for the season. Wow the weather couldn't have been worse... okay jk it coulda been worse so I guess I will be thankful. But it was super cold. We warmed up on the Ted Bundy Trail. Got back and Preston and I were just trying to keep warm. Watched AA win the 5A and after Preston and I went over to the bathrooms before we had to go in the tent thing. On our way tho we ran into AA and wow she is a cutie!! Dang too bad she's already taken. Anywho we get to the start and were off. I got a decent start. The race went good for the first 3 laps and then I guess I lost focus for a couple laps and after I was just trying to get back in the pack. I didn't get um but I did pass a Park City dude at the end which made me really happy! 

So the race didn't go as well but I was glad that I got to have that experience. I am happy that I was able to come back from a rough start. Well see ya all in June!
