We are who we choose to be.

PM- .5 warm, 3 miles easy, 4x200 hard. Felt mediochre today on my run, but that's how I always feel on mondays. Had a hard time breathing on the 200s... In fact, I had a hard time on the 200s altogether. Had a speaker come and talk to us after practice and she gave me lots of good ideas.

I want to wish everyone running region tomorrow good luck. I'm going to be running my very best race so that PV can take the JV team title. I checked the weather forecast and it looks as though there's a 0% chance of Thunder!

Race- 2 miles warm, 5k, 4.5 miles cool. 18:52 and 23rd. I felt like I prepared really well for this day, but it didn't turn out as I expected. I had started out way too slow at the beginning and just could not fight my way to the top almost costing our team the win. Luckily some of our other guys really stepped it up. Ran about 30 seconds slower than D in the D. I'm kind of really disappointed on the outcome but there's always next time. On the plus side, we won Region and that's what my goal was.

PM- .5 warm, 6 miles easy Foremaster Loop. Last night I got maybe 4 hours total of sleep because I just could not fall asleep. I thought doing the Foremaster Loop would kill me today, but it was surprisingly nice and easy the whole time until the last half mile where we always seem to speed up. Felt good overall today.

AM- 2 miles warm, all-out mile, 2 miles cool. I hit a 5:06. I really ended slowing down a bit on my third lap because I crossed the second at a 2:29. It's alright because it's still a lot faster time than last year. I didn't have the same group as last time when I ran a 5:01 it was just Krenny right behind me. Coach gave me some tips afterwards and I think that will really help me next time I run a mile.

AM- 1.5 warm, 1200m, 1000m, 800m, 600m, 400m, 1.5 cool. Not my best workout in the world probably due to my lack of sleep last night. I stayed where I am usually on the 1200, 1000, and 600, but my 800 (mostly) and 400 were pretty poor. It was a nice hard push and it really hit me hard!

Night Run- 5 miles easy Neon Spider w/4xFartleks. Not a good idea to go to Neon Spider at night! It was so freaky and dark! Met up with Skylar, Cam, Jake, Jake, and Andrew and we did our Fartleks before the cave and we did 30 seconds (minute rest), 1 minute (minute rest), 1:30 (1:30 rest), 30 seconds. They were nice and hard and I felt really good and we all kept up. When we got to the tunnel. Jake B wimped out and turned around which concerned me (him going off on his own), but we ventured on. Nice adventure because Andrew and Skylar have never been there. Feet got soaked.
