Adam's Running

Today the only coach that was there was the annoying plyo lady. I don't think that she likes me very much because me and Walton just race during the drills, and if that means cutting the drill short halfway to sprint to the finish to win so be it. After those we went out for a run. We ran down to the end of the trail following the river by AF then started our workout. It was seven minutes hard, two minutes rest, and another seven minutes. On the first one I felt way good and the only people ahead of me were Clayson and Little Warner. The second one sucked because it was all gradual uphill and afterward I felt like I was going to die. We ran to AF to get a drink and use the bathrooms but I was so wrecked I just lied down in the middle of the hall and took a 10 minute nap.

Workout today. 10x400m with 1 min rest. The first one was a little slow for some reason and we came through at like 73 but the rest were perfect. 70, 70, 69, 69, 67, 70, 70, 70, 65. I guess they are racing ten per team in the varsity race at Westlake which is going to suck, but it will give me an advantage over the Cole.

Just easy miles before Westlake tomorrow. we ran down to Art Dye and played this game that was kind of like handball but with a tennis ball on the soccer fields. Dyestat rankings came out today and WE ARE RANKED 13TH IN THE NATION.

Today was by far the best race of my life. We got ther at about three and it was freezing so Walton, Marc, and I went down into the basement of the school to wait for the two hours it was before our race. It was pretty fun, We found some huge speakers the football locker room so we were blasting some dodos. Walton lit some incencse and I think one of the AF guys thought he was smoking weed. When the girls varsity race started we went and warmed up then headed to the line. It was pretty cold, but not nearly as cold as when we got there and there was a decent wind coming at you down the home straight.

The race went off and I went out and through the first 800m worked into a good position right with Mike, Marc, & Jon. We just kept a good pace through the first mile where we came through at 5:18. On the loop around the big field by the other school that group kind of got away from me and I just tried to not let anyone pass me. I came through the second mile in 10:38 and moved up to pass Jon and get in right with these to Davis kids I just tried to hang on to them the whole last mile and eventually we caught Marc. Nut with 200m to go all three of them beat me. i came across in 15:45 though which is almost a 30 second PR! We put 6 runners in before Binghams fifth but they ended up beating us by 4 points. We did get Davis though!

I accidentally slept in today so after the second session of conference I went on my own run. I ran to Grove creek and back. Averaged about 6:27 pace overall for the 11 mile.
