Race: Region 9 Championships (4A) (0.5 Miles) 00:02:22, Place overall: 1

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.00	2.50	8.50

Ran slow and easy in the 3200m and won, time was 12:11 or something. That was fun.

PRed by .09 seconds in my 800m. Got 2 of my goals for that event - I got a PR and won!

We lost. So, when we got back, I went angry running for a while. I'm guessing about 4 miles. (DS3 223.2) (V spike 11.6) (DD spike 50.5)

Nice job in all your races! I just saw that you will be coming up to Logan- it will be nice to have another FRB-er up here. You can run with us (I think it is just Paul, Cody, and myself) any days you don't have team practice or off-season.

Ruth you are so awesome. I wish I was half the runner you are!!!! What are you running on sat morning? You want to hook up possibly. Call me and let me know if you get this before tomorrow morning. Hopefully you still have my number.

Good job on hitting a PR. You guys did great yesterday. Now it's time to really get ready to go run and win some races next week.

You have always hated me! Not any thing different. :/

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, May 09, 2008 at 16:03:25

Congratulations on the PR! Good thing you guys lost, it helped you get in the miles. Will pay off in the end. A few extra miles of base do more for your fitness than a regional win.

Hey Ruth! Nice work! Four wins is amazing! I can't wait to see what you do at state! Good luck!
