Thatcher's Running Blog

After school I did the workout 1200, 600, 400, 400, 400, 400, 200, 200, 200, (200). The 1200 was 3:38, about a 72 second pace. It was harder than I expected, and Morgan was right behind me. the 600 was right at 70 second 400 pace, and I was right with Morgan. I had some breathing trouble, so I went in and took my inhaler. the next one I ran with Morgan and did a 65 and I was with Morgan. The next was a 66, and Morgan was a 64-65. I held back a little, because I had two more. Morgan didn't run the next one, and I ran a 67. On the last one, I couldn't quite stay with Morgan, but ran a 65 and was just a little behind Morgan. after those, Morgan and I were both really tired and felt sick, so we didn't time them, but just ran three pretty hard. (We didn't do the last one.) Morgan was a little bit ahead of me on all of them.

Later I lifted weights and ran. I did 3.5 miles on the treadmill at 25:00. It felt good, and I wasn't too tired.

This morning we did a pretty good 26:00 run. About 3.8 miles. It felt good, but my back is sore.

After school we ran about 40:00 about 5.7 miles, felt pretty easy. But, my back is still sore.

Me and Morgan did an interval workout, it wasn't too hard. It was four 800's. We did them at about 33,42,33,42. We then did a 3.5 mile run after. They weren't very hard, but I was tired after.

This morning we had an assembly, so we ran longer and played basketball after. (We didn't go to the assembly.) Me and Morgan did around 40:00 probably about 6 miles. (My Garmin hasn't been getting a signal lately.) The last half mile we really picked it up, Morgan out-kicked me at the end, but I didn't go all out, so I let him go a little. It was a pretty hard run, and it felt good. We lost coach on 2700, Ian and Ethan earlier.

After school we did an easier run, just relaxed. About 40:00. About 5.75 ( with warm up and cool down)

Today was a pretty easy 40:00 run. I did it with Ben, and it felt good. My lower calf is tight, but it's not bad.

Today wasn't a very good race. I was going for a 9:48. I started out on pace, at about 4:53 at the mile. I then felt really tired in my legs, and I fell back some. By the time I got to eight hundred left, I had sort of given up, and didn't have a good kick.

After I got home, I went for a run. I was able to get that focus back, and did a 35:00 run, with a 400 in 59 and a 200 in 27. It was hard, but I hadn't worked hard enough at my race, so I needed to do more.
