The King of Controversy

PM - Only 3 miles to hot nails and back. Not the normal pre-race run this time sadly.

I felt really good with my race today. It was a new PR for me on this course but sadly 2 seconds short of my normal 3 mile PR and 13 seconds off of my goal for this race. My legs felt really good today but I started to feel the burn in my legs about halfway through the big lap and was going to slow down. Luckily Coach's quotes that he gave to us hit me hard and I told myself that I could give a little bit more. It really helped me push through the pain and played a big part in how I raced today. I was a little disappointed that Jake was sick though because one of my goals for me this season was to beat him (in a official race with other teams because I have beat him at the time trial). Our JV boys finished off our season with an awesome race and won easily with Matt's number 1 finish and many other top 10 finishes but sadly they don't give trophys or medals to the JV teams. Our JV girls were good but sorry to say did not win. Both our Varsity teams took second with great races from Mike and Stoner who finished 1st and 2nd respectively in their races. Can't wait to race again in California in a couple of months.

PM-Green Springs run. I really hated this run coming into it but I really loved that we flew down the hill on the way back and were running a 6:30 pace which made me laugh because that is faster than my race pace. 

PM-Workout on the track today after team pictures on the PV. We ran an 800, 600, 400, 200, 400, and then another 200 in that order. We were supposed to get faster every time and I was doing really well but died off on about the last 400 and was really disappointed with that. Pizza warm and cool.

PM-Ran to the middle school and did wave hills which are just hills in guess what?...a wave shape. I didn't run as good as I should have but still felt a little tired by the end.

I almost didn't do this run because I was being lazy today but at about 7 pm decided to run towards Arctic Circle and was going to turn back there but I felt good so I pushed all the way to Target and back to my house which is about four miles. I had a lot of fun with this run because I was alone and it was cool and the downhill from Sunrise Tire to Target was so nice and I felt like I was just flying. Super fun run.
