Life's Swell

AM: 2.3 miles easy for the morning. AC

PM: mile warmup to pizza hut. Then a 1000 at 1600 goal pace. Jacey and I were trying to hit a 3:20 and we hit a 3:21, which is pretty solid. I stayed with her and she didn't out-kick me, which is way good. I need to get in my head that I can kick and push hard in races because I can. After that, we had a 300, 200, 100 with full recovery. I hit 54, 34, and 14 on those. I felt great today on the workout. I cooled down part way with Ellie and Caroline then they stopped and I went one more 1000 cool down lap.

Also, at region I'm doing the 1600 and 3200. Way pumped!!

AM- 20 minutes easy to AC

PM- 25 minutes easy to hot nails + 4x200's master blaster style. Then the youngster track meet. It was very long

Couple mile warmup before the 1600. Then the 1600. The front group started out pretty slow. I felt really good and I led the first couple laps with a cedar girl. The third lap, I was still feeling pretty good, and I was try to push, but a few people passed me. Through the rest of the race I was still in the front pack, but closer to the back. I should have just kept my position closer to the front because I was going at the same pace as the person in front, but it still added some time to my time. Oh well, over all it was a decent race. I ran a 5:34

Warmed up a bit more than a mile before the 3200. Then the weather sucked and we had a 30 minute lightning delay. When we went out side, we had 5 minutes to rewarm up before our race. Then the 3200. I didn't do very good. It was my worst 3200 of the year. I started way fast and I didn't do very well fighting the mental battle of the race either. After the race I cooked down with El. 

Then later I rewarmed up of the 800. I was one spot out of being in the fast heat, and honestly I didn't mind much. Me and Caroline were one and two going into the race and I was way excited. I started really well and I was NOT going to get last. The first 200 was a good start. I kept it pretty solid until the 300 and then I decided to serge on the straight. Then I felt great and I just kept going I pushed all the way and even kicked. I felt so good. I ended up 1st in the heat and one second off my Pr and that was right after the 3200. It was definitely a great confidence booster that I can run fast and it feels awesome to run. 

We had 45 minutes easy with 4x30 second fartleks. We did neon spider and it was soooo fun. It was definitely the funnest run in a long time. We went to the tunnel and Jacey and Meskerem scrame a lot. Especially Jacey. It was way funny and pitch black. When we went in there was a giant patch of tumble weeds in the way, So we had to walk on this teensy ledge thing for a little and I kept falling off. Then the tunnel turned and there was a big puddle of water we had to cross and it was very muddy and slimy. Then we climbed out and did the last two fartleks with very wet shoes. It felt weird. Then we did DI to ad more time
