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

am: 2 mile morning practice felt pretty good. my back did too.

pm: had a mile time trial today. it was so so hot. 90 degree's. really hot. after the warm up everyone just stood under the sprinklers for a while. i got my spikes on, did a few strides and then joined them. my back felt good which made me happy.

race started and i stuck right behing abel, who was doing a 1000m time trial, and ran a 1:04 first lap. i felt good and moved it a bit faster and halfway through this lap i thought it was the 3rd lap all of a sudden and i was happy about how good i felt. then i realized it only did 2 lap. the third lap the hit really hit hard. i kept it down a bit but i think it was pretty slow. then i finished semi strong with a 4:31.

it was an alright time. not really impressive, but i was more happy that my back still felt good. i'm still taking the pills and getting it adjusted tonight. i think i should be ready to get some of my goals at state. the main thing i'm missing right now is confidence. i dont know how i'm going to get it, maybe just pump myself up, but i really need to believe i can do it or it wont happen.

am: easy 2

pm: 3 with striders. jumped into sandburgs which felt very good. my back hurt just a tad more than yesterday but still good. first swim this summer. finished with my last AP test today and now i'm all done with high school. nothing left to do now but run some killer times at state. i'm really starting to get pumped.

Yesterday Jessica Peterson...or 'JP :)' as she's known on the blog... and I got the Most Outstanding Athlete of the Year for our school which was really cool. i was really excited about it. i can go get a watch or something now.

am: easy 2. felt pretty good. last morning run of my high school season.

pm: last speed workout till state. 2x100m, 2x200m, 2x300m, 1x400m all out with full recovery. i just wanted to do well and mostly see how my back was doing. warm up it felt great (1.5miles) then put on my spikes and then the on the first 100m i took off and i flew! the fastest i've run in about 2 weeks. next 100 same thing. i was so so so happy that my back felt great. didn't hurt at all. my stomach felt kind of sick and i felt throw up come up a few times but that happens every once in a while on workouts.

the 200's went by fast and the 300's i hit a 41 then the next one was terrible, like a 44. the last 400 i kicked it hard but and came in solid with a ~:58. i was having a hard time breathing after but i was just so happy my back felt so good.

on the cool down i went about 200m and my stomach just felt super weird so i slowed down a bit then BAM! i threw up, then again. and i started to black out for a second and fell to the ground. when i came to coach had helped me up and was walking me back to the school. i stopped again and tried to say something but instead more came out...just a bunch of beans and rice from lunch. Yuck! i think it was from drinking too much water or something. plus it was super super hot again. idk. i'll get my energy back by state. i'm feeling really pumped up. i'm going to get a school record! i'm going to get a school record!
