Left church an hour early because my back was hurting. Took a nap and it didn't hurt too bad anymore.

65 morning + 25 afternoon

​3x800 at CV (1:16-1:18) w/5 min recovery, 4x400 at 3-4 sec faster than 1600 pace (1:04-1:05), 4x100 at 400 pace (Fast lol) w/2 min recovery between reps.

​Dang that was a hard workout. Not really sure why, but I wasn't feelin to hot this morning. My ankle is still killing me, and I'm pretty sure I have tendenidus (A+ for spelling effort). I've been icing it every day and I'm guessing it'll go away eventually. It only hurts in the first few minutes of a run, or every time we start after stopping, and it KILLS constantly throughout the whole day. Excited for the 2 week break so I can recover ;-;

15 morning weights + 30 and striders afternoon

 

​Well I benched 65 this morning and squatted the bar and tried to dead lift only the bar and almost died so that's great. Just blogged all of my runs since April 25..... Gonna be more consistent. We've had some team meetings the last few days and I've realized that I've started sucking at doing the most basic of things necessary to succeed, so I'm gonna try to blog more. Actually, I AM gonna blog more. Every bloody day fam.

Region is tomorrow and Thursday. Gonna run a solid suicide pace, because this week seems like a good week to die. (Name the author of that magnificent cookie and I'll respect you a lot.) Going to try my hardest to embrace the pain, rather than let it punch me in the face. #Ready2Rek

20 morning + 35 afternoon & race

 

​Wow I really need to learn to run a good mile. I'm very grateful that I qualified the first time I ran it, because I haven't ran it good since then. Coach told me I just need to run in the front. That's the only way to run a good mile. This must be true, as Alex ran a 4:30 because he went out and led part of the race. I started out feeling super good and then just like usual I felt like crap on the third lap and pooped out. Need to figure out how to just go with the pain. Going to run hard and either succeed or die trying at state.

45 minutes + 3200m race

 

​Not quite what we expected. Still quite happy with a solid 3rd place, but the 9:57 wasn't quite as good. I wasn't ready for championship style racing, and I should've taken the lead at some point and tried to make a push, but I wasn't feeling to great. 600 to go and Bryson King from DH was right on my shoulder, and I really didn't have much in me. I'm surprised I ended up beating him, but like me, he barely had enough energy to even finish. This race made me realize that a 9:50 somethin can hurt just as bad as a 9:30, so might as well run the faster one. Gotta have guts next week at state and get after it. Obviously, this wasn't my meet, but I really look forward to state next week.

​45 afternoon

 

No morning practice. It was nice to sleep in but vrey strange too.

Nice trail run up to Mustang Pass. We haven't been there in so long and we used to run it like once every other week, so the whole thing is overgrown with weeds and foxtails and stuff. Had to stop like 3 times to get them out, and I'm pretty sure they will be in my shoes for quite a while. Overall a good run and a nice quick pace for trail running. Oh yeah and Paul was here so that's cool too.

55 morning workout

15 warm w/5 of it easy tempo 6:10. 2x600 at 3200 pace then 4x200 pretty hard, all with full recovery.

​Not that hard of a workout. Just something to get our legs moving and control a solid pace. Hit 1:46 and 1:45 on my 600s, and the first 200 was like 33 and my ankle was freaking hurting so bad. Almost didn't do the last 3 but I kinda just shook it out and gave myself a running start on the next 3. Like 29-30-28. My ankle seriously hurts and I'm praying that it will get a little bit better by State next weekend and if not, that it will heal during the 2 week break.
