We are who we choose to be.

AM- nice and easy with the guys. Normal morning run to the strip mall.

PM- 2 warm, 1.5 cool, 4x1600s 85% (goal: 5:34 actual: 5:32, 5:34, 5:28, 5:22), 2x300s (goal: 0:44 actual: 0:44, 0:44) weights afterwards. I did pretty decent today. 3rd 85% week in a row and I've hit every single rep. Should be moving up to 87% next week. First one I had Jason to help me, but he was feeling eh today so he dropped out on the rest. Pretty much ran it all on my own (except the first laps) with the exception of Andrew being on my tail for most of the time. I've never been able to hit my times so consistently and so "easily" (not that it's easy, it's just not killer like I'm used to). 300s were solid. Coach said last week that if I wanna be a state 3200 guy that I'm going to have to get some speed and run :44s! Last week I hit :46s which was disappointing so my whole goal today was :44s on these and I did it. Pretty tough day on the track!

AM- none today seeing as we are only going 3 times this week. We'll get everyday in next week.

PM- Trail Run Tuesday and Beast and Feast. We went to the trails out past pioneer park and got about 8 miles. Felt nice but my legs are feeling kinda tight. It was a fun run still :)

during most of the run, I kept thinking about the 3200 and visualizing myself running it. I know for a fact I can state qualify and then even place at state! Just gotta keep working my hardest, running my best, and not be lazy. I want it more than I want pretty much anything. Can't wait to see what I can do this season.

AM- 4 easy normal route 6:15 am. Pretty normal. My legs are kinda dead. Hopefully I'll be able to hold up in the AT tempo this afternoon. I loathe track tempos! I'm sorry coach! But idk. I can keep up just fine at least these last couple weeks so it shouldn't be too killer.

PM- 18 minute tempo. Felt quite a bit of tension in my quads today, but still managed about 5:40 for the 18 minutes. 

PM- easy 8 Washington Fields loop. Nothing too tough, but even easy runs require a bit of effort! It was fun. All the guys are looking strong so far! Striders afterwards up on the grass.

AM- 4 easy

PM- 8 total. Old man hills! 2x800, 4x400. These were tough but I did well! Out first 2 800s were faster than all of last week's. And then on the 400s I finished 1st, 2nd, 1st, and 1st for the 1600 and 3200 guys. Prolly wouldn't have been of Nick was still healthy :/ but we did great without him!
