First day of preseason track, fartlek at the indoor. Ran three laps hard, then three laps easy, then the stairs, switched direction and repeated. 3.5 miles of this, the first set felt pretty rough, but after that I felt great. Got some burn going, but not too much for the first workout in a while. Feels good to be getting my life back on track. Pun intended. Always.

In my defense, it was too hot in that stadium and I was sick and couldn't breathe. oh yeah, and I suck. I went way too slow at the beginning. The pace felt fast so I told myself the other guys would die later, so I relaxed. Then I found myself in last place. By this time, it was already too late, so I sucked it up and finished as best as I could. My legs were fine the whole time, but I really couldn't breathe. On the last lap, I was still in last place, but I was close to the guy who was second to last, so I realized that I hadn't used anywhere near all of my energy, and sprinted hard to catch him. It was a fast kick, but that's because the rest of the race was way slow

Core with minimal running.  Did 50 burpies, 50 partner push-ups, 50 squat jumps, 1:00 plank, and 50 sit-ups, with one lap between each set. after that did 2 sets of 500m fartleks. The burpies and push-ups hurt way more than they should have, I'm way out of shape. I need to get a lot more serious with pre-season stuff.

Mile and 200m time trials. Ran 5:17 for the mile, but had no one to push me, as Clayton and Talon stopped at the 800m. They both ran good times, 2:12/2:13, so they'll both be going to BYU. On that track, out of shape, with no competition, and no prior knowledge that we'd be racing, I'm okay with my time though. Never got my time for the 200, but I'm sure it wasn't good

400m time trial. PR'd with a 60.15, but I really wanted to go sub-60. Oh well. Probably should have done more afterwards, but I didn't.

More Time trials. Talon and Clayton wanted to do the mile (they did the 800 last time,) so we ran that. Clayton hit 5:02, I hit 5:03, Talon did 5:04. All of those would be sub-five if we'd been outside, and hadn't had to maneuver past sprinters and people we'd lapped. Three guys under five is not bad, so this season should be pretty great
