Be the team that goes hard on the last two

3 easy to hidden valley this morning. Things are getting real; graduation is in 14 days and this morning I just payed a security deposit for my apartment in college. Really crazy stuff. I'm excited to do it though; I'm eager to meet my roommate who I'll be running with, his name is Aidan Reed.

Good workout today. short and sweet. normal warmup. then 4x400 progressing w 2:00min recovery, then 300 200 150 finishes, then a mile cooldown. felt good for my first workout having ramen for lunch (i'm trying to condition my stomach to be able to go fast after eating not good food). the paces for the 400 were kinda like mile pace, then goal mile pace, then faster than goal mile pace. we were supposed to hit 67, 65, 65, 63. jaiden sucks at pacing, so we hit 66, 63, 63, 65. still good stuff. it's a 4:17 mile, which is definitely a goal. good stuff from everyone today

No morning run cuz ap gov test. Felt really good about it

Normal warmup and then pre meet. Excited for tomorrow. 

dang. warmed up, gun went off, got out well and tried to see what i could do by sticking on jaiden. 400m at 63, 800m at 2:10, then passed away from there. im sick of choking. somethings just gotta click. im excited for the 800 tomorrow, and a chance to qualify for my 3rd event for state. if tomorrow doesnt go well then ill have to have my breakout race at state. im sick of these "eh" races, but some time it'll end. i guess state will be it.

Good race today. Warmed up and got to the line. Gun went off and I went into 3rd place, crossed 200 At 28 and 400 at 58. Then I just tried to hold on from there. Moved back a few places, finished in 2:02.6. I would be a lot more mad that I didn't qualify if I had wussed out on myself, but I gave it everytbing, I just don't have a kick. But I'd say 2:02 is good for a 3200 guy so I'm pretty happy. We went on to win regjon after getting our 4x400 dq'd for a bad handoff. 4th straight regjon title for us dhills. Felt great. Did a 3 mile cool down with the beautiful Alli Peterson. Great day.

5 easy to sunriver.

Emotional post today, haha. today was my last saturday workout as a high schooler, and if you know anything about me then you know that i always have stomach issues on saturday morning workouts.

big confidence boost today however. the workout was 10x400m @ 61-64 w 2:30 recovery, then 3x150m finishes. I knew that if i immediately tried to hit those times then id be ridden with my usual stomach problems so i took a different approach. I decided to try to just stay 2 seconds back from what the guys were hitting (only ppl who did the workout were the ones who qualified for state). This way i could see what my stomach was doing because if i immediately went for those 64's then id fade hard towards the end. so for the first 6, like clockwork, i hit 66's. Then my stomach was feeling ok; so i decided to put on my spikes and go with the guys for the last 4. then i hit 65, 63, 63, 62. then finished hard for the 150s.

this was a big confidence boosting workout; i averaged 64 (which was in the goal range) and i pushed through my stupid stomach problems. ill remember this as my best saturday morning workout, and also my last as a high schooler. where does the frikkin time go
