AM over 1:00:00; 7:45 pace; track workout

PM over 25:14; 6:52 pace

It was a weird morning workout. It was the exact same workout as last Wednesday: 3x 800m at CV, 4x 400m at 3-4 sec faster than 1600m pace, 4x 100m at 400m pace. It felt quite a bit tougher than Wednesday, though. It was probably because I took the 400's even harder: 1:04, 1:06, 1:08 and 1:05. Coach really emphasized this morning about embracing the pain and that it means we're doing the right things. That came at a really good time for me because multiple times during the workout, I thought about cutting the last rep in each set, but he indirectly let me know that I can push through. Overall, really beneficial day.

PM over 36:32; 7:07 pace; 6x striders

We had a really good team discussion today. It was mostly about XC coming up and how we're going to reach our potential. I love my team and we're going to do some great things. I am going to hold them accountable and they better do the same for me. The run today was a little blistery and the rain started to pick up when we started our striders. 

AM over 20:01; 7:05 pace- shortened morning route

PM over 33:13; 7:00ish pace- warm-up and cool with the 1600 crew

Pretty dang good first day for PV, unlike the past few meets. The girls got it started off with two more State Qualifiers; Jessica freaking beasted, and Caroline had her kind of race, going out aggressive. So proud of them. Then in the boys 1600, I have never seen Alex run so beautifully in my life. He sure had a lot of balls and a lot of courage in that race, and it showed with his 4:27 SQ. What a beast!! Great day to be a Panther!

PM Region 9 Championships 800m

I typed this once and I took to long to type it. So when I went to post it, it logged me out and deleted everything I typed. So in summary, I almost got it, but all hopes went out the door when I fell down with 50m left. Although, I'm alright with it for reasons I'm not going to type again.

Mitch, Dallen, Xander and I did our workout early in the morning at Jordan High school up in Sandy. It was a great morning to run and we witnessed the most beautiful sunrise ever! I had a different workout than the other three. Mine was 2x 300m at 800m pace w/ full recovery. We then all had 4x 200m at F pace w/ full recovery. It was a good workout at a little more altitude. When we got back to the hotel, all the kids were looking at me weird, and I didn't know why. Then I realized they aren't used to me wearing spandex. Oh well.
