So much depends... on the run you do today!

2.5 warm and 2 cool with a hard workout today. much harder than i thought. it was pretty much hard hard sprints over and over till he said stop so i'm not sure on the milage. i felt good on the warm up but then on the first sprint i did something to my back so it hurt pretty bad the rest of the workout, also my legs were very tight and hard to lift but thats my fault. overall i did well effort wise.

4 and striders. felt very tight. ice bathed after and felt pretty good. might as well roll tonight even though i know its a little late but i think it will do me good.

Mile tomorrow!

had a stomach ache before the race. but I'll just go right to the race. The start i got in pretty good position, i kind of cut off Jason at the beginning. i was in about 6 and sticking right on Tyson's back (1:08) pretty good but i little slower than where i wanted. but on the second lap all of a sudden i was stuck behind some people that formed a C around me so there was no way to get around, so finally when we were just about to finish lap 2 i backed up and went around the group but by then Tyson had already put 2-3 seconds on me (1:10). The third lap i knew i had to push hard so i went hard and by then Jason had caught back up with me and he was going pretty fast (1:07). Last lap i was in third and i was a ways behind the two leading guys so i have someone to push me (1:05). our team did good with having Tyson, me, and Devin finishing 2,3, and 4th. the Jason kid stinkin' ran a 1:00 his last lap to beat out Tyson for a 4:24. that was weird but i should have tried to stick on his back and at least got a faster time.

today i raced the 2 mile and 800. i put the 800 place and time because that was my favorite race of the two.

first was the 2 mile. i was thinking in my mind that i would get a 9:30 and got into position to do so. it was a very got day again, i'm glad the cedar girls were spraying water on us as we went by, although i don't know how much it  helped. beginning was fine, me and tyson took turns leading till i couldn't stay up with him anymore for mental issues. one of the other kids that tried to stay with us made me really mad because he would run ahead of me then slow down and as i tried to pass him he would get in my way and elbow me so he would stay in front. so on one part i went out into lane 3-4 where he couldn't reach me (and he tried to!) and sped past him then elbowed him in the chest.... he fell back and i never saw him again. we got a good 150 meter lead and the closest guy which was the dixie kid that won yesterday's mile so coach told us to slow way down the last lap and a half and to cruize it in for an easy first and second so we would be more fresh for the 800. Place: 2; Time: 9:55.

800 was an amazing race for me. i was ranked 10th with my slow 2:06 time and i was just hopeing to get in the top 8 to score some points. first lap went by fast and i hung behind in about 8 but i felt amazing. didn't hear my split cause our time reader was horrible. but on the second lap i just... went. and for the first time i pushed my legs down into the ground instead of stretching them out to sprint and i went so much faster than i ever have and it felt a lot easier. so with 300 left i caught the lead group really fast, it had about 6 people in it. 200 left i had to run in the 3rd lane around the last corner in order to get around 2 other kids. then with 100 left i had 3 cedar kids in front of me and i dived in between two kids one of them sticking with me. i saw that we were fighting for 4th place and i wasn't going to let him have it. i sprinted as hard and i have ever sprinted and in the end i edged him out. afterword i couldn't walk for 10 minutes. but i got 4th and top 4 make it to state! goal is to get sub 2 at state!

wasn't sure how far i was running till i was half way through. nice easy run, a little quick but nice.

my sisters wedding was today so that took up the whole day till about 10:30 at night, and i knew that even if it was just 2 miles i should run a little. so i went out and ran it, at prolly about 6:30 min pace. felt really good, iced my shins after.
