AM: This morning felt good. Long runs don't feel as difficult anymore, but recovering is still difficult. We ran 85 minutes. We began our run by going up east ridge and went over the plateau. Afterwards we came down the side by the hospital and went back down onto the trail. Then took the trail back over to mosquito and back around for a big loop. The pickups were not too bad. 

PM: This afternoon was good we did an easy 25 on the usual route.

AM: 2 mile loop.

 

PM: Today we had a Jv race. My legs were dead from the day before and the race last weekend. I got ready for my 400, got to the starting line, and began the race. I started in lane six and quickly started to pass the majority of my heat. My legs started to feel it around the 200 mark, but I kept going. I gained more ground than I was expecting. My chest began to tighten as the race got harder. I got to the end and barely lost my heat, but took 3rd overall. That is the first time I'd placed in the top 3 for a meet. My time was close to a 58. 20 minutes later I had my 800. I read an article on drafting this last weekend and decided to try it considering this race was a smaller meet and I thought I might be able to use it to shave off some time. Unfortunately, it did not go as I'd wanted it to. I stayed in second trying to draft for the first lap. The guy at the front was going nowhere near my usual pace though so unfortunately all I was doing was slowing myself down. We got through with our first lap it was a minute ten. Wayyyy slower than usual. I heard the time and decided to take off. My second lap was much faster, although I got to the 600 m mark and didn't even feel tired. This was a problem, so I decided to sprint. Corbin followed me and passed me the last 50m, but I barely passed him with about 20m to go. I placed first overall, but my time was bad for usual, a 2:18. Six seconds off of my PR. I had a lot of fun placing for my first time and improving my my 400, but next time I definitely won't hold back at all on my 8. I can't wait for next meet, hopefully I'll PR again. It was a fun meet.

AM: This morning we got our longer run for the day out of the way by going on a huge loop through the industrial park and boulevard. My legs are feeling really rogh. I need to get a new roller since I lost mine at the meet. My legs definitely need some stretching.

PM: We went on a quick 25 out through Washington and back through sandebergs. This week has been a good one. I've been reaching a lot of my goals. I improved my 400, got a 29 on my act, and did well on my youth city council interview.

AM: we lifted and did the regular loop. 

PM: We ran from the high school up through tip to green springs and back. Midway through the run my foot started feeling weird towards my toe, so I had to run weird for a little while luckily it went away after a bit.

AM: We did the regular 25 minutes. Yoga felt amazing and helped me recover.

PM: dillan and I ran a big loop for 25 minutes for our warm up and then we raced. I ran a 5:09 mile, slightly slower than I'd hoped. Still, it was my first race and I feel like I did well and pushed myself. I probably went a little quick on my first 800. My first lap was a 1:13. My third lap I slowed a little too much and fell off a big pack in front of me. Towards the last 300 meters I almost caught the pack again. The race went pretty well, but I definitely could use some work on the mile.

Today I found a new route. I went up to the turkey farm road and started at the t-bone trail. I'd never ran the route before and planned on flipping midway through. I began running. The trail was somewhat hilly. About 17 minutes in, the trail lead into pioneer park, so I decided to just do a big loop from pioneer park up to where I parked. I realized I might go over my time if I did the loop so I really pushed my pace. I ran down pioneer park and up through the industrial park to the turkey road and back to the car. I pushed the pace pretty hard and it felt good. I definately need to roll out my legs though.
