Very short run this morning. Some of it was with Stella, then I decided to see what I could do in my current shape for 400m (or 0.25 miles per Garmin). The neighborhood streets were recently paved and there's a nice straight section. It went a little bit better than expected and I think I might have even accelerated toward the end - 1:24.7 according to Garmin, and Strava said 400m time was 1:23, so someplace around there. Should really go sneak onto a track sometime soon.
In the evening was the SAC West track meet. Thomas was doing the 1600m and 3200m races. He gave it his all but he wasn't happy with his time of 4:53 and 5th place.
He looked better in the 3200. Jarod took off early and got out in front. Thomas was 4th or 5th for a while with teammate Logan sticking right behind him. Before long, Thomas and Logan were 2nd and 3rd with a runner from another school sticking right behind them (just a few feet). Eventually they shook the other runner with about two laps to go, Tom widened the gap from Logan and then really took off in the last lap going 6 seconds faster than the previous lap. Tom ended up 20 seconds ahead of Logan, and Logan was 8 seconds ahead of the runner from the other school. This gave Mitchell 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (10:39, 11:00, 11:21) places.
Can't believe the season is almost over, districts next.
