Go Westminster Griffins!

No real practice today so I ran 4 miles on my own.

8 miles at pratice. Today i tried to lead the team in 800m repeats but they didn't want to run so i did the solo. 7 800m repeats with recovery 800m and the 800m recovery acted a rest. all of them were between 2:44 and 2;29, the 2:29 is my new PR. One mile cooldwon at the end. I have the record at my school in the 800m!!!!! i found out yesterday. the old record had stood sine 1995. 

7 miles with Dad with a time trial workout. Today we did a time trialto see what i should aim for in conference. a slow 3 mile to begin the day. the time trial i ran my new PR, 5:12 in the mil and 5:10 in the 1600m. i finished thinking it was slow but actually in was right where i wanted it. If it were a offical it would have beat any other time in the regionand broke the record, set in 2006! 4 mile cooldown. I feel great, not really sore at all, just tired. 

3.5 miles with Dad after chruch.  Very upset stomach so I called it early.

6 miles at practice 200m repeats. Did it mostly alone as the rest of the team did other stuff.

3 easy miles.  Taper for Thursday.  Rest of the team did time trials?!

3 miles easy, rest of the team did speed work and played capture the flag.

Ran a new official race PR of 5:26.  I felt like I raced this one really well and just got beat out in the last 100m by a couple of guys.  A little disappointed that I didn't run a bit faster but now I am happy with the result.

800m in 2:35 on a very windy day.  I went into today a lot more relaxed and had fun depsite the weather.  Glad track is over, now to run more road miles with Dad and friends and to run a few 5k's and a half marathon this summer!!!

Excited to run my first half marathon this weekend...I am going to wear a GoPro chesty too!

Today was my first Half Marathon. I was really excite and ready just to have fun in it. First mile i went out way to hard. I was supposed to be running 7:15 miles but the first one was 5:38.  Way to fast for a really really hilly course. Next 2 were okay and i could see the people in front of me.  miles 3-5 were fun in a nice single track trail run section. after that we went on the road and then we climbed a huge hil, i mean huge and it was made out sand. that stunk but i kept at 7:10 pace. Miles 6-10 sucked because i was tired and alone. at 9 i took my first glu and kept running alone. made it to 11 when guy came up to me and ran with me. He was nice but he started moving up and i couldnt Dad came at mile 12 and 12.5 i hit the wall. i was not liking the run and was yelling but somehow i finished, and got 12th, 9th male and 3rd in the giant age group of 10-19. ( i got beat by 2 seniors.) not bad for my first race and felt good after words.

Day off, I am so sore and stiff!

Still sore and a long drive home.  Dad took me on driving lessons tonight!
