We had a fartlek workout on the canal today. It was only a 5, 3, 2, 1 though, so it wasn't that bad. I did them fast and I beat Lil' Warner on all of them except for the one minute interval because it was uphill. Good stuff from Jamison and Zack today.

Lil' Warner had to leave early, so Jamison and I ran with him before practice for about 2.5 miles, then we went to the pond to play tag wth the team. When we got there however the girls wanted to play, and it wasn't looking very fun so Jamison and I just left and ran more mileage.

Today we had one of my favorite workouts, 12x400 at mile pace. I love 400's because they are short enough to not hurt too bad, but fast enough to make you feel like you get a really good workout in. The homestretch was crazy windy, so I probably could have run a second or two faster on each of these in good conditions. Times were 66, 67, 68, 67, 67, 67, 68, 67, 69, 67, 67, 65. I was happy with how fast and consistent I was able to keep them in the wind. Jamison had the best workout of his life today, and was under 70 on all of his intervals. Afterwards we ice bathed under the bridge in Hidden Oaks which is finally running again!

Today was the Westlake invite. I was pretty pumped for this race because I knew that I would probably get a nice PR, and all the JV guys were running well which gave me confidence. We were planning on running at 6:15, but then they changed it to 6:00 so we only got about 5 minutes of warmup and no strides or anything. The gun went off and I could feel the lack of warmup. For the first 800 or so my legs were kind of in shock, but they started getting warmed up after we left the baseball fields. I came through the mile in about sixth or seventh in 4:55. That was much too fast and I would pay for it later. At this point two kids from Stansbury dropped off and Lil' Warner, Adam Haynes, and I packed it up and ran together. Us three came through the two mile mark in about 10:15, and about here I started to feel that fast first mile. I was feeling awful but made sure to just hang on to Adam and Lil' Warner. Coming around the baseball fields for the last time we passed Corey Mines from Westlake. The next 600 or so was so hard but I knew if I wanted to PR I just needed to hang on for a couple more minutes. Coming around the last turn we passed Dallin Leatham, then Lil ' Warner took off and Adam and I couldn't go with him. I tried hanging on but Adam ended up beating me by three seconds. My time was 15:26, which was a PR but I was hoping to go under 15:20. I think I could have if I had gotten a real warmup and paced myself right, but whatever. I got fourth overall which was the highest I have placed in a varsity xc race so that was cool. We got eighth as a team, but Zack ran in the JV race and Something was wrong with Jamison and he had to drop out so if we ran as we usually do we would have been first or second.
