GOING THE DISTANCE

6:30am -  The boys were booking it.  I couldn't keep up.  It was nice and pain free run, I have been taking care of my body good.

3pm -  2x1000m.  and 2x300m all out.  First we did a 1.5 mile warm up.  Then we got into the workout.  I got out good on the first 200m and just kept it rollin.  Led most of the way and cruised to a 2:57.  The next one Byron led and I stuck on him the whole time, 3:02.  The first 300m I got a 42.  The next I felt so tired and my legs were dead, I got 45.  The cool down was rough.  I was dead tired and felt kinda light headed.  I could feel my heartbeat in the roof of my mouth hard core.  1.5 miles.  Total 4.5 for the afternoon.

3pm -  Great pre-race 3 miler with 4 200's.    We went Sandburgs loop.  We jumped in the pond and it was so nice.  The run was just chill.  Life's great right now.  2 more meets then school is out.  200's were good I nailed Jason in the head with a soccer ball.

4pm -  warmed up 2 miles.  Then raced.  The 1600 was bad.  I got my worst time of the season.   I got my self in good position but as soon as the main group passed me I didn't go with them.  I felt so tired, worst I've felt physically in a race this year.  After cooling down I got a footling from subway and felt better.  Not great but in the medley I really felt more awake and alive and helped us PR.  I ran a 2:03 split.  I cool a mile barefoot that felt good.

9pm -  Chilled all day watching races till like 7:30 I went on a nice solo 3 miler.  It was really relaxing and nice.  Then I did more laps on the field before the 4x400m.  First was Paul, then Matt, then me, then Abel.  Paul and Matt did good getting us right behind Canyon View.  I don't know what place we were in but I just focused on the guy in front of me.  He slowed up a bit on the back stretch so I went for the pass with 200m left.  But he came back and kicked and I finished right behind him.  My unofficial split was 52 seconds.  Abel was a beast and passed some noobs and qualified us for state.  We almost got it by time but instead by 4th at region.  Swag day.

3pm -  Great peaceful run to Arctic Circle, got some ice cream, and came back.  

9pm -  Watched Alex my bro in the hershey district track meet.  He raced great and won in 5:06.  He's got awesome potential.  Then did hardcore yard work all day.  Then almost was ready to chill and go to bed when I realized i hadn't run.  So I went.  It was dark and windy and lightingy and dogs attacked me.  It was pretty sketchy times.  I did 4 fartleks during the run.
