GOING THE DISTANCE

3pm -  Nice, easy prerace run.  We ran three miles and we were supposed to do 4 200's after.  But it aggravated my quad so I say that out.  Tomorrow's region so I guess the season is almost over.  It's been really fun.

5:30 pm -  today was region at Bloomington Hills and if was pretty fun.  Our team got to the park at like 2:30 so I say around and cheered my siblings for a couple hours.  Then an hour before, us varsity boys went and ran around the park while we watched the JV boys win.  I was feeling good and confident I could help us win.

So we lined up and coach started the race.  A big pack maybe 20 guys formed a lead pack and I was right there for the first mile and a half.  Then it started spreading out.  Dallin Reber past me and I fought him off for a while but eventually he got away so that was one mistake I made.  Me and Colton were running good together but eventually split up so that was another mistake.  One thing I did good was the last mile, I was really battling hard against a cedar and snow canyon guy.   They kept passing me and I would pass back.  My the big hill on the last lap we finally dropped the snow canyon guy.  Me and the cedar were side by side and he got ahead a big.  Then on the final stretch I gave it one last push and beat him, getting 13th I think.  I though it was gonna be top 10 like coach said but no.  I tried really hard this race and it was a positive experience.  Our team didn't win but we are right there even closer.  Based on pace I had a nice PR on a hard course.  I really wanna help us do really great at state.

3pm -  6 miles foremaster loop.  I felt good, we ran an easy pace.  It was really fun.

7:30 am -  Today we did a timed mile.  It was kinda hard to switch mentally from racing XC to racing on the track but I still did good.  4:58.  2 mile warm up before and 2 miles cool down after.

7:30 am -  Today we did a workout that was hard.  I was feeling really sluggish at first and it was hard to go fast.  But towards the end I warmed up a little bit and was a little more lively.

1pm -  After hunting in the morning me and my dad ran at 1.  My bro shot his first deer in the morning so that was cool.  We ran around Koosheram, the little teeny town were we stay when we hunt.  The circumference was like 2.5 miles so its really small.  we did 3 fartleks.  Now tonight I still have a tag so I gotta go get myself a buck.
