Nice morning run. Not too cold, but the trails were freezing for some reason. Every time we ran in between some trees and bushes and such, a rush of FREEZING air decided to attack us. Overall good run though. We've been keeping our avg pace under 7:30 lately and I really like it, because we are going quicker than normal but it isn't so fast that it's hard. Overall a good run.

Fun run out into St George. That's pretty much all I have to say about it. 

 

The Social Media experement is going pretty well. I've been able to do my homework perfectly fine with no stress, and life is just overall more peaceful to be honest. Probably going to do it until the end of the school year and just see how different life will be.

65:00 morning workout + 25 after school

2x1200 + 2x(400, 400, 800) with equal recovery between all.

Nice solid workout with the guys. After our 1500 meter time trial last week, everyone's paces for workouts have been changed to faster speeds, so now us top 5 guys have the same workout paces. It's a lot different doing them with a whole pack of guys, because I can't control how fast everyone is going. We were a bit quick the whole time, but I was in the back of the pack and right on time hitting low 1:18 400s. I'm excited for our 3200m this weekend, because we will be all packed up and destroying.

30 minutes + 3200m race

 

​Holy cows. It's been a while since we've actually raced, and you could definitely tell. My goal was about 9:40-9:50, and I thought I was doing pretty good. Each lap, the SC dude with the timer told us our splits, and I don't know what the foof was wrong with him. He told me 1:11, 1:13, 1:13, 1:14, 1:13, 1:12, and I didn't hear the last two. But yeah I finished with a solid 9:58.03 and barely qualified. The lap times he told me should've led to a 9:40 something and I felt as though I was pushing that hard, but apparently not haha. Feel sad for Mitch because he missed state qualifying by .4 seconds, while I got it by .4 seconds.. So that blows. PV invite is next, and instead of over analyzing the race beforehand, I think I'm just gonna go out there and try to run fast.

 

Also, it was a 3200m-not a 2 mile. The race thing is getting mad at me and saying that 1.988 miles is not a certified distance soo...   sorry.
