I ran 2 races today. First I ran the 3000, then about an hour later I ran the 1500. I have only ever done two races in one day once, but it was a while ago. It was a pretty small race. Only 10 people in the entire field of the 3000. Top 6 qaulify for the AAU National Championships. JoJo and me were the only people in my age division. The plan for the 3000 was for me to pace JoJo to 2000 i 6:40, then run 3:10 for the last 1000. JoJo fell back after a couple laps, but I had was on pace at 2K. I couldn't speed up to 3:10 though. I think I ran 82, then 40 or so. My last lap was pretty good, 76. I ran 9:58. JoJo was 2nd in 10:30. William and Stevie had bad races. Stevie especially, he ran slower than 5:00 for the last 1K. Dad told him if he didn't run well in the 1500 we wouldn't bring him to Nationals, that got to him. He ran 5:36 in the 1500, MoMo ran 5:33, a PR for him. JoJo, William, and I raced after them. I actually didn't feel very tired from the 3000. JoJo and I ran the first lap in 74. Then he fell back. I ran 74 for the next lap. In the third lap I really focused on keeping the momentum going. I ran 76. Dad was yelling at me that I could get a PR. So I kicked in 54(equivalent to 72 400). My time was 4:38.39. About a 2 second PR. JoJo ran a bit under 5:00 and William ran 5:29. I'm really happy with the 1500. The 3000 was good too. I didn't feel very motivated in the 3000 running by myself though. Hopefully at Nationals I can go under 9:40 in the 3000 and 4:30 in the 1500.
