Everyone was gone today for a JV meet except the 9 guys and 5 girls who made the BYU mark, so practice today was coach free. Mile warm-up, then Yellow Hill repeats. It consists of a mile up-hill where you run up two light posts (spaced about 100m apart), then go back down one, then back up two, and so on. The first one I had about a full light post on Mason and Aaron, and they on everyone else, but in my lightning speed I missed the final light post, so I didn't turn back. I only noticed when Aaron shouted my name as he went back down the final post, so I turned back, adding an minute and like 300m on to my time and distance. 6:29 pace. Next one I went out ham and settled back, still leading by a large amount, about 15 seconds on Mason and Aaron. 6:39 pace. My calves started to ache pretty bad on the jog down, running just felt like a continual stumble. The next one Aaron was pretty close to me. 6:39 again. The next one I started a little late and couldn't go as hard because I didn't have the lead pressuring me with Mason and Aaron in front. Mason kicked hard at the final post, and I could hear Kedric's breathing behind me, so I kicked to Aaron, who in turn kicked. we fought, and he beat me. 6:34. Only one repeat I did with a good finish. That was the final repeat, but I, as per usual, was the only one who jogged back down the hill for active rest, so when I hit the bottom and saw that people were still just starting to walk down, I decided to run straight up the hill by myself. Thanks for everyone who cheered for me as we passed ways. 7:10 pace. Not sure if it should be slower or faster than the ones before? Anyway, I turn around to see Aaron and Christian running up as well, S/O to them for wanting to be the best. 7/11 Party afterwards (feat.) Team Slurpees and my Gatorade I bought instead. Strides after, then joined Austin and Aaron in the AUX cord battle of the century vs. Kyrie and Jacia. We were 'ight until I got the cord, where I then murdered the two. R.I.P., I'll miss the fun we had. Thanks to Jacia for not getting upset about the stealing of her car while her and Kyrie filled up their water bottles. But, she did leave it unlocked and running, with us 5 feet away. No surprise
Picked up my sister from her JV meet and dropped her off at church. Was going to head home, but then I remembered that I told Talon that I'd go to Nationals with him, so I ran another 2 miles to become stronger, Through the ghetto #Runninthroughthe6ixwitmywoes
