6am-  this morning we did a little extra than usual.  we did the normal 3 miler then 4 hill sprints and 4 100's after.

3pm-  This workout ended up great.  It was the first time I have really pushed beyond my limits and dared to go harder this season.  We had 4 30 seconders, 3 800's, and 2 1000's indian run plus 1 miler warm/cool.  It started good and i felt ready for a good day.  The 800's were harder than the 30 seconders.  Then the 1000's really tested me.  I was already tired from the 800's but felt pretty good starting out.  When we started the second 1000 my legs were absolutly dead.  When were about 600 meters in, i just couldn't handle it and i started fading, first next to matt, then back tell i was next to casey.  I was ready to give up.  but then matt and casey kept encouraging me and pushed me a bit, literally.  Then casey said, "come on nick, dare to do this."  That reminded me of coaches pep talk on friday and I sprinted back to my spot and was abel to finish strong.  It was good for me and casey both to break through mentally like that.  I hope i can be abel to find that inner push inside for the next few races, and really do good at cedar.

6am-  This morning we cut the arctic circle run a mile short and just ran around the parking lot when we got back.

3pm-  5 miles, 2x400.  For the 5 miler we went up past the fire station up into the desert, then back down in washington were all the trees and old houses are.   Then we headed back to the high school and did the 400's.  After we did weights but still no plyometrics.

6am-  normal 3 ya know.

4:30pm-  race at cedar high school.  This race was fun and i did way good.  I was able to beat my season goal which was to break 16.  and our JV boys are still undefeated!  I was a bit nervous for this race but i was able to stay strong the whole race.  The starter people used the same gun and it didnt work the first time.  But the second time it did and we were off.  I tried to stayed right with our guys at first and did good, but when he said the first mile was 5:30 i was worried I started out too fast.  So i decided to try and go faster.  When we had like 800 left i was behind a desert hells guy and a page guy and kyler.  So i passed kyler by the softball fields then passed the two other guys coming on to the track.  Then like always I was coming right up on Hobbs.  But this time it was my breathing he recognized me by and kicked it up to finish right ahead of me.  It seems like mostly everybody did good.  Especially paul, man what a race.  Now i just need to try and stay with him next race.
