I paid for it. This morning run was quite easily the longest, most difficult run I've ever endured; endured is an accurate word for it. Nevertheless, I got through it, even though I was tempted to drop out since we ran right by my house. For afternoon practice, we ran indoors due to the lightning and pouring rain. Running indoors is also always something I have to endure.

Coach Roberts and Coach Holt both said some really important things in the meeting today. From Roberts, I learned to see obstacles as a way to get on higher ground and to look at goals in steps rather than as a whole. From Holt, I was reminded that anyone can make an impact on our team and that I can do amazing things.

PM Panther Relays DMR 800m, 4x800m, 4x400m

Today was my first Panther Relays! I had no idea that other schools came; I figured it was just our own team. Started the meet off with a solid Distance Medley in which I ran the 800m. I'm pretty sure my split was around 2:10 and we definitely went sub 12 minutes. That was pretty good considering we were going just a bit quicker than workout pace. I then had the real race with the 4x800. This was the race that really mattered to PV since Coach made our teams, and the losing team has to buy the winning team donuts. Although my team was not the winning team, I was relieved that were not the losing team. I'm guessing I had another 2:10 split on that. In the final race, the 4x400, I had a really nice 56 second split. That was really big for me since that was a whole second faster than my Hurricane 400 and I wasn't quite going all out. Overall, really nice Panther Relay.

Two cheese runs today. Took our team pic today and I'm pretty sure it looked crappy because of the people who weren't wearing their jersey. Oh well. I can't control other peoples actions.

Super dope trail run on the hills by D-Hells. Congrats to Julien for the State Qual in the 1600m.

Desert Hills Invitational 

Ran the 800m today and it was pretty dang good! PR'ed with a 2:04.43 and scored a point. I felt like CRAP afterward though. It was prolly because I didn't eat breakfast. Live and learn I guess.
