Track warm up, stretching, 3 laps warm up, 3 laps speed changes then speed. 200x 400x 400x200x200x200. My times went 34, 80, 73, 33, 32, 31. Felt really good but by the end my knee was killing me!

Track warm up, jogged down to 1300 east, I made it to I think its 4th south then I turned around because my knee was killling me. Then I did 2 300s and my times were 50 and 48. I was aiming for 60 so I went a bit fast. Going fast didn't hurt them at all but then jogging around killed them. 2 laps cooldown with the sprinters.

Half mile warm up, then stretching then I lined up for the boys 400. I was in Heat 2 again with Gavin. I wanted to win my race again but I didn't. When the gun went off, I started out slower than I usually do so that way I don't die on the final stretch like I usually do. Going past the first turn I was in 4th place but I was on the inside lane so I was expecting to catch the other people. But I was going around the curve the same speed as them. So going down the final curve they got there in front of my and I came in 4th place:( with a time of 60 seconds flat, so my placing was off and my time was slower! Then I did a lap with Gavin then we lined up for the 800. My goal for the 800 was to break 2:40 and not be totally wiped out with that time. I start out kind of fast, with a 78 second first lap in a group with Gavin and Sam Hafen. Along the final stretch Gavin and Sam both out kicked my but I had a time of 2:36 so I stayed consistent between both laps and I was not tired at all after that. Then I did another lap before the 4x400. Dakota went first, then me, then Caden then Sam. Dakota got us out into 2nd place and I held on gaining some ground on the first place team, I gained about 20 of the 50 meters. Then Caden and Sam just stayed that distance. Overall that race was good and our team went pretty slow, but we weren't last!

Crazy track day and I did 2 miles at the track, WHITE TEAM WON!!!!!!!!

Then I met up with Larry later that night to do a workout. I ran down to sugarhouse park, 2 laps of speed changes, timed 400 with Larry in 95 seconds, 2 more laps speed changes but on the recovery I was supposed to go 30%, 40%, 50% and then 60% and that was pretty hard. Then I cooled down with larry in his 800, I was supposed to bring him through under 4 minutes and we went through in 3:40, then I did a lap with larry and ran home. My knee was hurting a lot through this but I need to push until regions! I am going to beat Caden and be under 5:20! 

PS CONGRATULATIONS TO NATALIE SHIELDS FOR BEATING THE  3200 METER STATE RECORD TODAY AT BYU. The previous record was 10:24 and NATALIE DID 10:22

Today I was not planning on racing because I thought we arrived at the race to late so I assumed we missed the 1600 (which we did). So after Cheering on Kiley, Abigail and Tomy on their races Bill told me we are all going down to Provo High for the 800. So we warmed up running down to the high school which is a half mile, then we quickly got registered did one stride then they seeded us. I was in heat 2 in lane 2 because they only put 6 people in each heat so they could all start in their own lane. So I was in lane 2. Bill told me to get in a good position at the start. So the gun goes off and I got out hard. I was in first with Sam Hafen right behind me. We go through the 400 in 70 which is exactly what I needed. Then with 100 meters to go Sam out kicks me and a provo kid out kicked me! I had never been out kicked when I was kicking hard before! I PRd today and so did all of the boys who ran the 800 (except Tomy). Bill said at the 700 meter mark my form fell apart and that was when I was passed. So I need to work on my form at the end of races before region! Then we all jogged back to BYU to grab our money, cheer on Andy throwing the shot put then we jogged and got food. Overall I was glad I raced and everyone did amazing! Especially NATALIE WHO DID A 4:51.03 a new STATE RECORD! THIRD OVERALL!!!!!!
