Line em' up and knock em' down!

2 in the morning

Usual Pre-Race routine today. Had some awesome pasta and Lasagna for dinner. We had an awesome sports psychologist come and give us a talk after dinner. Awesome day. 

Crazy race today.

We went out at what I would call a "suicide pace" for this course. We went through the mile in like 5:19, which is normally okay, but for the first mile on this course, that's pushing your luck.Was feeling a bit flat after that mile, so I decided to just lock into a pace and see what would happen, but then Alex Hill and Logan Hall from Pine View came up from behind me and started pushing up and trying to pass me. I managed to drop Alex after about a half mile, but Logan stuck right on me, and we went back and forth for pretty much the rest of the race. I bided my time until the last hill on the last mile, with about 700m to go, and then I took off with whatever I had left. Managed to edge out in front of him, and almost caught a Cedar boy . Just got nudged out of a medal, but whatever. I still helped our team to win our 5th straight Region Championship, and I finally figured out what has been making me so flat for every race. Just need to fine tune a few things, and I'll be good to go and smash some heads at state. 

no morning run today

5 down to Sun River today w/ 8*100m strides. 

interesting run. 

Short workout behind the school. 

We did 6*200m repeats on our 500m dirt hill track, then 4*200m finishes on the track. Nice little workout to get the turnover in. 

3 in the afternoon. 

Showed up late for practice, but still got the milage in. 7 out on Navajo Dr. Team breakfast afterward.

5ish miles with 5*30 sec pickups in the middle of it. Short little workout for the end of the week before state.
