"Train insane or remain the same."

Woke up early to run so I didn't go with the rest of the team. Jamie had me do 10x400m at 2mile pace with 2:30min rest, then 2x100m all out with 1:00min rest. The workout was pretty chill, just more pacing than anything else. My splits were all around 90sec so thats perfect. Shoutout to the old guy who was also doing a workout on the track this morning, he kills it. Afterwards I hiked Horsetail falls with Badoobs, Christian and Kallie, and we brought a bunch of dogs so that was sick. #5dogs&4dawgs

Went up to a Yurt with Badoobs and did some XC skiing so I called that cross training, and pasta dinner at Connors which was tasty.

Collin drove us up and we got there at like 4. Warmed up around 5:40 and met a super cool girl from skyview so we warms up together. Went down to the bullpen and I was feeling petty good but I was more nervous than usual. Did some strides and just kinda prepped for the race. They lined us up and I was on the inside waterfall, I got out at the start really good and fell into a really good position. First 400 was an 82 which was quite a bit faster than I was needing (I was going for 92's) but I didn't stress I just kind of went with it. After the first 400 my right shoe came untied but I was able to ignore it pretty well so that's good. First mile came through at 6:03 and I was feeling really good. Next 400 I focused on surging and staying with the girl who was just ahead of me. But when she started to break away I didn't go with her, and even though my splits stayed pretty consistent they weren't fast enough and I knew and I didn't do anything about it and I'm so mad that I didn't because I could've been way faster. Overall my time was consistent but not what I'm wanted, these next few weeks I'm going to focus a lot on making sure I don't get too comfortable with a pace in my races, I just need to be ok with having it feel a little too fast and being ok with it anyways.

On the other hand Simplot was a lot of fun and definitely a good experience. Shout out to Connor Gan and Guppy for making it to finals and good luck to everyone who's going to be racing on Saturday!

Easy recovery today, the weather was absolutely fantastic which is the best. Also Watson and I pulled out some pretty sick moves today after our run so shout out to us for that.

Had work at 4:45 this morning but I was done by 9 so afterwards I met up with Watson and did a 4ish mile loop by my house. For lunch I made a killer salad and then I walked to the park and played with the chums. Weather is great today Thank goodness for that.
