GOING THE DISTANCE

3pm-  1000m repeats was what I did today with the track team.  4 of them, and then 2 all out 300's after.  1000 meter times were 3:20, 3:28, 3:27, 3:40.  My 300 meter times were 45 and 49.  i did okay on this workout.  My last 1000 I always die.  i really need to bring something to eat before practice so I can finish these workouts without my legs falling apart.

3pm-  Today was a tough workout.  It was 8*200m at 3 seconds faster than race pace.  So my goal was 29.5.  It was a very hard workout, buy I did good finishing it good.  My times were 28, 31, 30, 30, 31, 29, 31, 31.  A little slow but I know that I gave it all I got and my legs hurt so bad after.  I warmed up 1.5 miles and cooled down 15 minutes on the bike.  My knee hurt moderately today.

3pm-  For practice it was just a recovery run to get ready for SUU.  I went with the group going 4 miles to starbucks and back.  It was pretty quick though.  I usually like to go slower on my easy runs but whatever, I survived.  We the team all lifted weights when we got back.  I should not have squatted because it made my knee hurt really bad.

3pm-  4 easy miles.  Sandburgs pond.  Evan and cade were there and they jumped in with us.  I think there is something in the water cuz i have a bunch of bites now.

7pm-  This race was just ok.  We got to Cedar at 2 and I had to wait around for 5 hours to race.  5 hours later me and everyone else running the 800 went to warm up.  We warmed up 1.5 miles and went to check in and stuff.  When the race came I had an ok started.  i felt like I was running a good first lap.  Turns out it was just ok at 1:05.  So I heard that and was off so I sped up.  At  300m left I accelerated, passing like 5 people.  At the final 200 I sprinted and passed like 5 more people.  I was thinking I had to have ran a 1:03.  I had gone all out that last 400 to end up 2nd.  He he, who am I kidding. I ran a 1:06 and got a 2:11 total.  I don't know what happened.  I pushed it a ton.  After I didn't cool down, that was really stupid.

9:30am-  Today I did really bad.  I wasn't ready mentally or physically at all.  I realized how much I count on coach to help push me through the race and guide me into position for good times.  I really want to do good at BYU and prove that I actually deserve to run there.  I hope my knee and shin pain can go away.
