Line em' up and knock em' down!

3 in the morning.  

Standard pre-race routine.  4 miles and the 200 m. finishes.  

Afterward, coach shared some pretty inspirational quotes with us.  The general idea is that you can do more as a team, and that if you keep working your hardest, you will win.  Hawaiian Haystacks afterward @ team night

It's go time

Region 9 finals today.  Racing in the JV race.  Hoping to do pretty awesome.

Got out quick and settled in.  After the first 200m I know it was going to be a looong race because my legs were allready flat.  

Stuck at about 5th for the first 1.5 miles, then started to pick more people off.  My goal was to stay as close to Scotty as possible for the first couple of miles, then take the lead.  I was doing pretty good, and then with about 1200m to go, I started to close the gap to pass him.  He was duking it out with Paul Gona from PV, and I snuck up on bolth of them.  But just as I was passing them, Matt Thatcher blew past all 3 of us like it was no big deal. >:p  I closed the gap pretty well in the last 400, but I couldn't quite catch him.  Got a 16:46, which is a lot slower than I though I would get, but they did change the course, so I think it's longer now.  Pretty ok race considering how crummy I felt.  

5 miles out on the ridge today.  wish I felt this good yesterday at the race.  Still no morning runs, which is kind of a downer (and I'm not sure why).  

6*200 hill repeats, and then 4*200 finishes on the track.  Didn't feel to bad.

Went into work for a couple hours after lunch. 

3 miles by myself just before dinner

Went and watched Racing the Rez @ Jaidens house after dinner.  Pretty solid day

7 in the morning out by the border.  Pretty fun run.  Started craving pickles stuffed with philly cheese steak (IDK my body is wierd)

3 by myself after watching Ant Man.  

5 miles by myself with 5*30 sec. pickups in the middle.
