PM over 27:49; 7:37 pace; PV Decathlon day 1

100 m, long jump and shotput today. Not a great time in the 100 m, but other two events I did better than I thought I would. 16' 5" in the long jump and 25' 3" in the shot. Might have to give the long jump some work throughtout the season.

PM over 28:53; 8:00ish pace; PV Decathlon day 2

Took the ACT and was glad to get out to practice to shake the test off. I also learned today that the decathlon is not called the Panther Relays, so I'll fix that on yesterday's post. Today's events were 400 m, high jump and discus. I had mixed emotions going into the 400 because my legs weren't feeling 100%, but I was still excited to run my first one ever and see where I'd be working from throughout the season. I am VERY pleased with my time, 56.73, and it gave me a lot of confidence for working the time down to SQ 51.36. The other two events were alright, jumping 4' 8" and throwing 52' 5". Maybe I'll surprise myself with the hurdles tomorrow.

PM over 25:00; 7:30ish pace; PV Decathlon day 3

We did the last two events today: javelin and 300 m hurdles. Didn't know what to expect in the hurdles, but I've always been confident in my jumping abilities. Rolled out a decent 47.01 and threw a 49' 9" in the jav. Overall, I'm satisfied with my decathlon results. Distance crew has a time trial either tomorrow or Friday, but I'd say its more likely to be tomorrow. I'll be running the 800 m and I'm stoked to see what I can pull out.

PM over 59:59; 7:20ish pace; small track workout

Big day for me to see where I'd be starting from in the 800m. Ended up with a 2:09.44 and I'm on the edge about it. It's good to know I still have a lot to learn about it, but the one thing that I did learn from my first 800m is that it's hell, both on the mind and body. Julien surprised me and I'm guessing a lot of people in winning the 1500m. His kick was all out and I know he's gonna be surprising more and more people throughout the season. We followed the workout with 2x 800m at CV w/ equal recovery. Great day to be a Panther!

Chill run with a little quicker pace. Did the Foremaster loop and made our way to the new park by the school. That place is nice! It looks like it came straight out of d-hills. 

over 1:20:00; 6:50 ish pace; tempo workout

Have Preference today, so Julien, Carson, Mikey and I took it early this morning. Ran to top of Green Springs and flipped for 45 warmup. We then had a 20 min. progressive tempo, starting at easy tempo then working up to usual tempo pace. Well Mikey and I took it pretty quick with 6:23, 6:27 and 6:16 splits; We were supposed to end at 6:30 pace. I honestly never felt very good or got into a groove during this run. I had some pretty bad abdominal pain about 30 minutes after the run. Tomorrow will be a nice recovery day, that's for sure.
