GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  ok run in the morning.  I got tired from it. 4 miles

Pm -  wow, what an intense workout.  We first did a 600 meter at goal 800 pace.  So I did that in 1:26 and that got my throat burning.  Then we had 400's at 1600 pace until coach had us stop.  I was going for 1:06.  My head was really feeling the heat today and I got kinda dizzy and stuff.  It had to be like 90 degrees.  Our recovery between each 400 was 1 minute, and after 6 my body could only pull out a 1:12, I was completely exhausted.  So yeah today was freakin hard and brutal, yet also beast.  5.25 miles

Am -  4 easy miles.  It was beast temps, and I even took off my long sleeve cause I got too hot.

Pm -  Wind from hell is the story of the day.  It was flipping horrible.  The JV in the town Hurricane was canceled because it was even worse there.  Our workout though was a Coe workout.  We started at 100m at 1600 race pace and went up intervals of 10 meters.  The speed gradually got faster also till at 200m it was our 400 race pace.  So it was pretty tough.  5.5 miles total. 

The wind today is just raising hell hardcore.  As I write this at 6:38 the visibility is like 2 miles or less from all the dust.

Am -  Wow this morning blowed.  It was freezing and windy.  Me Jason and Zach did 600 meter repeats.  I did 6 and they were all around 1:46 except the last was 1:41 and it was freeeeakin hard.  I had a hard time staying awake. 5.25 miles

Pm -  4 miles in the afternoon.  Just a short, easy run, then I worked on some starts from blocks.  I'm not sure yet if I will use them for the 400m on Friday.

Am -  I was a bit late to practice.  So I had a nice run alone for the first half, caught up with the team coming back.  3.75 miles.

Pm -  Pretty dopesmack pre race run.  We headed down towards the river and saw the same dead beaver that was there last week.  It's getting pretty gnarly.  Yeah, then we ran around, up a hill, found some crab apples to eat, ran through a desert, smelled a dead cow, found a bone, just the usual.  6 miles.  Then back at school did some 200's and I worked on my starts out of blocks. 7 total.

Am -  today's run was blazin.  4 miles.

Pm -  Woohoo, Dixie invite today!  Yeah, I love track meets.  I ran a chill 3 miles upon getting to Dixie high.  Me and a few guys jogged around, to Arby's, I got a sandwich.  It was dope smack.  Then around 5 was the 400.  It was freakin beast 😛.  Me and Paul were both in heat 1, me in lane 5, him in lane 4.  So yeah it was my first open 400 and I got 52.02.  That placed me 3rd in the heats.  Unfortunealy though, I'm gonna drop out of finals to do just the 800.  It's is gonna be a beast region 9 800.  5.25 miles.

Am -  Day 2 of Dixie Invite 😛.  Got to the track and ran some laps.  My right hip joint got kinda jacked up and really sore from the 400 yesterday.  So I was just really working on loosening that up all morning till the 800.  I was nice and warm for the race and ready to go.

Had a good start and got out next to Kale Sharp in our alley, the first one.  At the break, a hurricane guy and I think Adam Proffit came in front.  On the curve after 200 meters I slowly and smoothly and luscious came around them into the lead with a lap to go.  Coach said I really made a big gap 400-600 so that's good.  Wow, last 100 I just kicked as hard as I could cause I knew those guys were comin.  I was able to win and get a 1 second PR down to 1:56.86.  6.3 miles total on this dope smack day.
