Am: three. Hamstrings don't feel too great.

Pm: 4 with striders. Holy smokes. My legs were not happy with me on the way out. The way back felt better. It was a fun run though with lots of singing and waving.

THEN. Decathalon clinics. I don't know that I've ever been so awful at so many things all in one day before. But it was way fun. I liked the shotput. 

AM: 4 miles with Mia dear.  Had 4 fartleks with it.. by the end, my calves weren't feeling great.  But we got it done with and did plyos after.  Then we sat in the locker room and had some intense conversation until we realized the bell was about to ring and we hadn't showered yet.. whoops.

Pm: easy three to green springs [again]. Then more clinics.. i got hit with a discus at the first station, so we moved to the javelin station.. where I immediately got nailed with a softball from over the fence. So we went to try long jumps. Turns out I'm all right, but I still got made fun of. I hate everything.

Am: Kosmin test.. so cold! I don't like this test very much.. I'm not very good at it. This time I made it 693 meters.. 3 meters farther than last time. Woot. 

Pm: decathalon! Holy smack. I'm awful at everything! I beat stoner in the 200 and the high jump.. but she beat me in the 100 and the shotput. We decided the real name for the decathalon should be Public Humiliation for Everyone Except Janzen and Archie. We could call it PHEEJA. After the events, i did 3 miles on the track with Stoner and Aubrey. 

Am: easy 3. Stretched, iced, and rolled after.. my shin hurts. 

Pm: three around the track plus striders.. and the decathalon! Did a little better today. I beat janzen in something! Can we all pause for a second and realize the momentousness of this day. Because pretty sure it will never happen again. It was the discus. And I beat her by 5 feet. And I'm pretty sure it is the crowning moment of my high school career.

4x400 at race pace.. so 1:14 for me. This workout wasn't easy. It was pretty warm outside and I was running in the 8th lane cause of soccer. I started at the line they use for the actual 400 like in meets, but I still felt like they were so long! Also, dumb soccer kids from some other school were spitting at us and being dumb, and I feel like no one understands to stay out of the way when runners are on the track. Anyway, now that I'm done complaining, my splits were 1:14, 1:14, 1:14, 1:10. Afterward, my eyes did some weird thing where everything was too bright so I had to just sit with my eyes closed. Anyway. It was an okay workout. Just kind of hard.

Green springs loop. Megan, Mia, Stoner, and I met at 6:00 to run so that Mia could go to preference and I could go to work. It was a fun run. We played 20 questions and talked about all the guys leaving on missions soon.
