Didn't run this morning, but I'll run tomorrow morning with Decker.

At practice we decided to run to Coach Holt's house, but he was gone at the doctors (hope you getter better soon!). Kind of just an easy run, felt pretty good.

PM - Ran a pyramid workout today on the trail by the river. We ran 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 at our mile pace. I wanted to be at a 5:20 pace or faster but I was slow. The third numbers below are a pace I have on my watch. 

.25 1:24 (5:34)

.50 3:04 (6:07)

.75 4:55 (6:33)

.75 4:52 (6:29)

.50 3:02 (6:06)

.25 1:25 (5:43)

I got so tired doing this but I guess that's good, that is what's supposed to happen. The last half of the pyramid I was breathing bad and really weezing. Ran mostly with Decker, Danny, Trevor, and BY. Saw Goold coming back looking all passed out, but he is ok now.

Times are great and consistent, just slow.

6.75miles

(.5 warm up) Ran 4 Sunrise Tire hills today. I was pretty tired on the way out but it ended up to be a good run. Felt the heat, I need to drink more water.

1- 2:14  2- 2:10  3- 2:07  4- 1:56

I really worked on each section of the hill and pushing up it. Started a little slow but I didn't want to go out too fast and ruin the whole workout. I am also really happy about the last one! Under 2minutes, ya!

5.70miles (about 1.80 out 16:25, back 14:05) 

Stayed up too late last night playing Super Smash Bros. so I didn't get out of bed in the morning to run. I'm bad at waking up! So this evening I ran AC from my house.

I tried the Virtual Partner thing on my watch for the first time and it was pretty fun. It had two little guys running and it would tell me if I was ahead or behind the 8 minute pace I set. Legs hurt but the run felt good.

AM - Ran AC from my house. Very slow (9:44mi ave), trying to let my legs rest.

We are hosting a track meet this weekend, Pine View Invitational (starts @ 3pm today, 9am tomorrow). I am running the mile today. I feel tired right now but I am planning on breaking through that and running strong.

Goal 1600  < 5:20

1600 Got out of school early and ran 3 laps with Goold and Kimzey. Ran another .50 warm up later (and .50 cool down after race). I had to wear spandex over my coreshorts because I didn't want to mess with the 2 colors rule, it was kind of uncomfortable but didn't bother me during the race.

I ran hard and tried to push myself extra the last half but ended up not running much faster. I did PR by 5 seconds and got my goal of under 5:20.

1:15

1:19 (2:34)

1:21 (3:56)

1:21 (5:17)

Next I want to break 5:00.

3200 Got to bed late but slept solid until the morning, didn't feel too sore just kind of tired. There was like 86 people running the two mile so it took a while to get the race started. Ran a .50 warm up and got ready.

Ran in the middle heat with Decker. It was hard and I don't think I did very good. About the 6th lap I picked up my pace and passed a lot of people. felt like I was running faster but I was really just not slowing down I guess. You have to push yourself to not slow down and then push even more to go faster during the race.

1- 1:19

2- 1:25 (2:44)

3- 1:27 (4:12)

4- 1:30 (5:42)

5- 1:31 (7:14)

6- 1:30 (8:44)

7- 1:31 (10:16)

8- 1:21 (11:37)

I think I am scared of the 2 mile. I have to beat the fear of pain and get to that level of my running. I did it in cross country, now I need to bring it to track.
