8 miles with a 2 mile pickup. At about 800 I took the lead for a little and kept pace, that made JoJo panic, so I slowed down and went behind. Dad and I stayed behind while Benjamin and JoJo put a gap on us. I feeling pretty frustrated. Every time I pass JoJo I have to slow down. So I feel like I'm not getting any training done. Dad is going to have me start doing workouts by myself on Wednesdays, but not this week because we are running State championships. JoJo runs much better on the track than in the canyon, maybe he has a mental block or something. Dad and I ran a little under 12:00. JoJo and Benjamin were a couple seconds ahead.
