Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and SPIRIT

4x1000's-My time to hit was 4:30. My times were 4:00, 4:10, 4:15, and 4:05. It was a good workout but my breathing was absolutely awful. Harts warm/cool.

8 mile river trail run with 20 min AT- I usually can keep up with Taylor during tempo but today I was feeling really bad. My breathing wasn't good and I was just really really tired. I was glad when I finally finished. Plyos afterwards.

pm: 3 miles while my sister rode her bike alongside me:)

Old Man Hills- These were tough but was a really good workout. We had 3 sets of 800, 400, 200 without the 800 in the 3rd set. Taylor was a big help to push me and we did really good. Weights after.

4x800's- My goal time was 3:12. My times were 3:10, 3:12, 3:03, 3:03. I used Taylor and Jake alot to hit my times and this was the first workout that I actually pushed hard in a while. It felt good to have a hard workout and a goal that was kinda hard to reach. The first 2 were tough for me but then I heard coach say to embrace the pain cause your gonna feel it anyway so i did it and thought about that the last two and they felt great for me! Harts warm/cool, plyos.

Nice easy 4- I've been waiting for something easier! I felt good and after we did 4x200's which i hit all of them 37-40 seconds. So pretty good!

Goals for Track Meet tomorrow:

-1600: Under 6:00

-800:  3:00

The races I participated in were the 1600, 800, and 400 in the medley. All these races were near the end, so I had one race after another and got tired really fast.

1600- I warmed up with Stoner for a while and we both started the race in the first heat. I was doing good but I really wished I could have ran it smarter which I know I could've. If I had gotten 8th place I would've scored a point for the team which would've been awesome  but didn't realize that until after. Overall  it was a good race and probably my favorite although I was hoping for sub 6.

800- After warming up with JP and Ali (who both did awesome but JP didnt get credit for getting first place!),  I started the 800 in the 2nd heat. I started out in 2nd behind a girl who started out way too fast. She died out in the last 200 and I passed her only to be passed and outsprinted at the end by the girl running behind me the whole time. My finishing time was 2:51. Also a PR. This was a fun race and it was cool to finish in the front :)

400- Coach decided to have me run the 400 medley this morning. Jp, Cierra, Stoner, and I practiced handing off the baton before it started and I was so tired I knew I wouldn't do very good on this 400. I didnt get my time but I knew i didnt do great but i gave it all I had. I like relays and it was fun working together as a team. We finished with 5 minutes.

For my first track meet it was pretty good and helped me set goals for future track meets.
