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

am: 3 easy with 4x stadium's and 4 100's, felt good but chest started hurting really bad after stadium's which was weird

pm: 1.5 mile warm and cool with workout of 4x30'sHard; 3x800'sInterval pace, 3x1000's slower than interval. felt pretty decent today. 800's were 2:40, 2:30, 2:24. first one was bad cause i didn't really know what time to do so i just guessed....and was wrong.         1000's we did indian style as a team so the pace wasn't bad for me.

am: 3; felt terrible so i went really slow which helped smooth out my legs a bit.

pm: we had michigan's today which we did all on the track because they were doing construction on the 'XC' loop we usually use. mile warm then 3x(1x800 5k pace, 3x800 10k pace) hard 400 at end.

we had a lot of kids do well on this workout, a lot getting close to the time i got last week! after the first set it was just me and byron...but then i started feeling somthing come down my nose, i shot it out, but it kept coming. so i put my hand up and found it was blood :) so i fell off byron, but got my nose taken care of.

the hardest point for me was the last 3x800 because it's just so many laps, but still pushed it at a good pace and finished with a hard 400 in 1:03; final time was around 35:30 i think, not sure.

mile striders and mile cool down (barefoot) i was really tired all day (fell asleep in almost every class) so when i got home i stretch for a bit, ate a snack and went to bed. i slept for 4 hours, then my mom woke me up at nine so i wouldn't starve my face, but definatly could have made it the rest of the night

am: 3. way tired. went pretty slow

pm: 5 with 2x400's 1:09,1:08

am: 3

pm: 5 with 4x200's. all under 30seconds i think. feeling really fresh

am: normal 3

race: well we'll start out saying that i'm an idiot. i thought i'd be cool to wear my freshman spikes to this race so thats what i brought, but during the warm up stuff i realized that they were really worn down on the bottom so every turn or hard surface i ran on i would be on ice.

now that we cleared that up :) warmed up 3.5 miles feeling pretty good. Race started and i got out into top five and kind of fell off the course (this is where i found out about my shoes!) after first mile (5:05) i was in third. by now i should have been moving it up into the lead but i just couldn't get my legs moving so i just kept it where i was. after second lap they had a good 50 meters on me then with .5 to go i finally started going again and caught the second guy then slowly gained ground on the leader...then we hit a corner and i lost ALL my momemtum. but after getting it back i caught him with 300meters to go (on track) and i was able to sprint it in hard beating him by 8 seconds.

i was sad about this race cause i missed the course record by 4 seconds and i'll never get to try for it again, plus it was just cause it was a terrible race. But i'm not crying over it cause it wasn't a big meet and our team did much better as a whole. JV killed everyone and varsity got 2nd but pretty dang close to DH. I'm excited to see how we do with the next couple meets!

today coach said i could choose to do the workout or just a regular run depending on how i felt...and when i woke up at 7, i felt like junk. so i hit the snooze and slept till 8:30 missing my chance to run in the morning. but i finally got out at 6pm after helping my bro fix up his rental.

i had him drop me off at the park on the top of coral canyon and ran down past DI and where devin lives, then past the school to my brothers house, so i could work on my down hill running. i started out thinking i would run the 2 mile warm up and see how i feel and after that i felt really good so i gave it a shot. workout same as last saturday 4x(2:00minH, 1minE, 1minH, 30secE, 30secH, 30secE) all the 2minH were around 5:08 pace, 1minH were about 4:44 pace, and 30secH were about 4:15 (last one was 3:49)

I felt super amazing on all of these. i could have done 4 more sets just like this. I'm glad i could have a solid workout to end the week. goal's for next week: take care of my body by ice bathing, work hard the do well on all my workouts and prepare for region.
