Ran to the U track, mile of speed changes, then work out was 2 sets of: 1000 (800 recovery), 400 at mile pace (30 seconds standing recovery), 200 hard, another 400 (30 sec. standing recovery), 200 hard and 2 laps recovery in between sets. Times went: 1) 3:28, 75, 34, 81, 36. 2) 3:39, 79, 36, 76, 34. After that we did 4 laps of Js. On the third one I pushed myself into an asthma-like mode. My asthma hasn't acted up in over a year so that was kind of freaky. I worked hard, times were a little slower because of the wind which was brutal but happy with the workout nonetheless. Ran back to East for cool down.

That was crap. 10 minutes before I was crossing my fingers that the meet was gonna get cancelled because I honestly didn't wanna race. But no lightning = meet goes on. Quite honestly I didn't wanna hurt and was in a slumpy mood. I was more concerned about my foot that hurt than how the race was gonna play out. Fortunately the foot is fine, worried me a bit cause when I tried to jump over a puddle on warmup I pushed off and it pulled weird. Frickin tendons. But I got the 3200, 800 and 4x400 tomorrow and I can already tell it's gonna be a great day! 800 is gonna be sick because 6 people can realistically get the top 4 spots to move on to State! Imma be one of those 4.

2 mile shakeout in the morning. 4 miles warmup with Garek and Bill. Then .25 of strides before the 3200. The 3200 was quite awful. I just slowly died. Did not feel good at all. 11:59. Then .5 (laps around the field) and 1 mile with Garek on the track while they did the hurdle finals, elevated legs, then meet got postponed 30 minutes because of lightning. Then warmed up another 1.5, .25 of strides. I was grateful for the break because it allowed me to get focused (I was very demoralized after having two awful races in a row, honestly didn't want to run any more events because I felt like a failure. I just was in a slump, felt crappy and running hurt more than I wanted it to).

I had a terrible start in the 800, was in 4th and trapped behind two girls plus Emma on my shoulder. Millika was in the lead, I knew I needed to be up with her. 500 left I sorta stopped a second to pull out to lane 3 to pass the two girls, Eleanor had the same idea and came out from behind me to pass all of us, I squoze between her and the outside girl then decided now was the time to go. Millika had gapped our pack, I pushed past and actually got myself moving for once. Came through at 71, way too slow for my goal first lap. I closed the gap in 200 meters, 300 left I went to pass her but she elbowed me in the chest and surged. It kinda hurt. Then I settled back to lane 1, I should've been sassy and bolted away from her but... 200 left I faded a ton, then last 100 still faded but made a weak attempt of kicking in fear I was going to get outkicked and miss qualifying for state (in the only event I haven't qualified by time for...) Eleanor came up on me right at the end and slipped past. Congrats to her! But I got it, 3rd overall with 2:25, I'm going state in every event. And perhaps the medley? Or the 4x400? Speaking of which that was next, did another mile warmup. .25 strides. I felt like I ran fast, a possible PR but no one got splits. We qualified in that too. Yay for being just barely fast enough to be in the 4x400. I'm no sprinter but I was actually closing a little on the 2nd place team! 

Aaaaand like .25 cool down cause you know who needs a good cool down? JK I prolly needed at least a mile but when the team is leaving.... gotta get to the bus.

Confession: I have a fear of lightning. So when it strikes close by, I freak out and turn right around. I was only a quarter mile from the turnaround but.... Lightning is scary especially when it's so flipping close and the thunder that follows is freaking scary. 

It was a good day because you know it was my birthday :)

Ran down to Liberty, went to the mile mark and did a 3 mile tempo. I hit 6:27, 6:28, 6:26 for the three miles for a total of 19:21. It was hard doing it in the rain (it was cooold) and also hard being by myself and not being able to gauge how fast I was going, thankfully it was the right pace! Happy that I stayed consistent too. Ran back up 1300 S to my house. Man that hill is steep - worse than 900 S.
