The King of Controversy

AM - 3 miles. Good run this morning but I cut Plyos short because of my foot.

PM - 8.5 miles. Raced the 1600 and then ran a 2400 (goal - 8:07), a 1600 (goal - 5:25ish), and 2x300 all out. The race was garbage today. I really wanted to come out and State Qualify but I wasn't even close. I got out quick and right behind Nick for the first lap and was still in a good position on the second but I fell apart on those last two laps again. Splits were about: 1:06, 1:12, 1:19, and 1:20. The workout ended up being a lot more positive. I just stuck myself just a little bit behind Paul for the 2400 and 1600 and I hit a 7:39 and 5:46. On the 1600 I started slowing down half way through but I saw Dallin pushing really hard ahead of me and so I got right with him and finished really strong. I don't know what it is about Dallin but I always push a lot harder when I'm with him. The 300s were my fastest ever. I hit 43 on both.

AM - 3 miles. Just the usual and my foot felt pretty good.

PM - 5 miles. 4x400 all out with full recovery and 1.5 mile warm/cool. We went up to the JV meet at Canyon View and did our workout up there on the road. It was super windy so we decided to use the wind to our advantage. We found a nice downhill spot which helped make it even faster. We couldn't ever get the distance quite right so the times were all over the place. I hit 53, 1:01, 58, and 1:03. Pretty tough workout and I was super tired after.

AM - 3 miles. Good run but my foot hurt so I skipped Plyos.

PM - 4.5 miles. Kosmin #3 with 1.5 mile warm/cool. I did super good today. I got out a little slow on the 1st 60 seconds but I put myself in the mix with Andrew, Paul, Matt, Nick, and Jason on the last three and I ran really well. I ended up with a distance of 1514 which is about 70 meters better than my best. My predicted 1600 time is about 4:33 which shows that I could run a state qualifying time if I have the guts. Foot didn't bother me at all.

AM - 3 miles. I felt okay this morning with little foot pain.

PM - 4 miles. 3 miles and striders. We traveled up north for the BYU invite and so we did a little shakeout run once we got there. It was actually a really fun run. My foot didn't hurt and we found a nice court to play some Bball. 

PM - 5 miles easy. We watched races and stuff all day at BYU and did our run once we got back to the hotel. We ran back to the court again and balled it up again. My foot and knee hurt a lot more today so I don't know if it was a great idea to play.

Race - Raced the 800 today at BYU. I once again ran a terrible 800. I got out quick in a 61 but finished bad again with a 2:10. I know I really should be running a lot faster than this but I have failed to show that I can. I guess I have one last chance to prove it at Region.
