90:00 + 25 afternoon

Long run with 2-1-3-2-1-2 pickups towards the end of run. 5 minutes recovery between.

Long runnnn. Went up foremaster and back down and onto the river trail. This run didn't feel as long as most long runs, which is weird. My knee is still killing me duing runs and it blows, but it's not preventing me from running. Trying to work on my form and pick up my knees a bunch while we go. It's a lot harder than it should be because my legs aren't super strong and I get tired and it becomes hard to keep lifting them. I'll get to that super form eventually, though. Feeling really confident coming into this week, because I got a lot of homework done, state qualified in the 1600 and got a 9:40 on the 3200, opened a pack of these cool star wars cards in this game that I play and got a Darth Vader card and sold it for $30, and most importantly, I GOT A 32 ON THE ACT!!!! Ready to rek fam.

​Wowsers. I haven't ran an 800 in so long I forgot how epic it was. My plan was to just try to run fast and not worry about position or pace, but rather to just make myself hurt. What I really wish I would've done was worked on form. I feel like if I would've ran with actual running form I would've done so much better. ALSO, Alex's foot got rekt and he still ran .3 seconds faster than me, so shoutout to him for being a beast.
