pm: 7 with striders. had the dentist today so i came late and did striders with the team then ran to coaches house with him and back to the school on my own. felt very good today and i thought it was pretty fun running with coach and had some good conversations. He's a good guy :)

pm: raced the distance medley 1200 (order of races are 1200, 400, 800, 1600) , 800 in the 4x800, and the 400 in the 4x400.

we got a new school record in the distance medley with a 11:01 beating last years team by 2 seconds i got a 3:23. then 800 was like a 2:12, 400 about a 58.

it was a pretty tiring day with all these races one after another but i gave it my all and it was a good workout/race day.... i even threw the shotput about 22ft beating tyson by 2in which makes me the best shotput thrower on the distance team

pm: easy 5 with 4x200's

i was pretty exited for this race cause i really wanted to bread 4:30 and i kept telling myself i would. i felt pretty good during the warm up but it was REALLY hot hot hot so after the warm up run we all just sat in ice till our race.

at the beginning i started in about 8th of 15 people and sat there for a 1:08 first lap, then the front three people started to make a move around the 600 and three people were right in front of me cutting me off completly. so by the time i made myself around them i had lost a lot of ground(1:08), now in 5th on the third lap i caught the 4th guy and hung behind him way too long which was my biggest downfall cause i fell way behind and third lap was a horrible 1:10. last lap was when i had to start pushing through the pain and i serged past 2 guys from the 300 left to 100 left which is a huge deal for me because i have'nt been doing that well with my kicks lately. last 50 meters no one was around me so i eased off just too much which made me loose the sub 4:30.

I was pretty nervous in the morning which made it hard to eat. we got there with lots of time and the weather was perfect... very nice day for a race. so after warming up and sitting in ice a little more we went to the line.

first hundred meters a kid behind me was tripped from behind and he grapped my shoulder to break his fall and i saved his life... but i started way too far back in the group and i got backed up a lot. first couple laps felt like a very easy pace and i hit the mile at 4:50. then the top two kids started making there surge up and i was blocked off AGAIN. but i got around much quicker and got right on tysons hills. next 2 laps i just rode right behind him still feeling good but pushing harder. with 700 left i could tell tyson wasn't feeling too well so i tried to get in front of him and have him ride off me for a while but after 50 meters i never saw him again. then moving into the last lap i hit the ground hard trying to finish strong again.. the leader was a good 7 seconds ahead of me so i never even thought about catching him (which was my problem here). overall good strong finish getting a 9 second PR.
