Be the team that goes hard on the last two

Happy pi day my sweet desert blossoms. 3 easy to hidden valley this morning. Chandler is this week!!

Afternoon was good. 8 total, 7 out to the boneyard then strides. Me and Boston tried to think of what crime would suit each of our team members, I got fraud, which seems right cuz I would never do something violent and I would totally scam people lol. Hardcore weights part 14 after. Panther relays tomorrow, going for a DMR record then gonna chill with some fun events after. 

3 easy to the spectrum 

Today was good. We had the panther relays.  It's not a serious meet so it's a lot of fun. I ran the 1200 in the DMR, the 4x100, the sprint medley 400, and cooled down for mileage.  It was fun, we all kinda chilled and screwed around, and I'm super super excited for chandler where I'll have a real racing mentality racing alongside some of the fastest in the nation. 

3 easy to the bridge. Haven't done that one in a while. 

7.5 total out to the boneyard and then on the rainbow road loop. Completely uneventful, nothing...picturesque...happened.  

3 easy to hidden valley this morning. 

Workout. 2.5, drills, strides, then 2 sets of 4x400m @ 1:10-11 w :45 sec recovery, 2x200m starts w 200m recovery. Felt good, hit everywhere from 1:09-1:11 so right on. Chandler will be legendary. If you have a runner space plus account then check out my race it'll be at 8:40 PM and they're live streaming it. 

Ran 4 easy just outside of wickenburg Arizona. We're staying here and it's about an hour outside of Phoenix. Felt good on the run and I'm super excited to race for the first time this year. 

Eh. Warmed up a little over 2 miles. We had chilled all day and played dying light, usual pre race routine. Boston ran a huge PR in the mile with 4:39, shoutout to him. Did strides and got to the line. The gun went off and I wanted to make sure not to get boxed in and not kill myself sprinting either. I got boxed the crap in, and the whole field was super slow. The leader at the first lap was alek parsons, and even he came through at 1:11. Super slow first lap. I was in about 3rd to last out of 34 runners at 1200m. Hit the mile in 4:55, just like last year. Started to move up here. Caught Bryson and Josh, then pushed up to Jaiden who wasn't too far behind Alek. Alek was definitely having an off day. Started moving more and passing people, then alek and jaiden moved and i tried to go with them. the bell lap hit and even alek wasnt in first, he was in like 6th, which was crazy. Hit the last 100m and kicked hard but not crazy like i should have. josh caught me at the line. finished in 9:43.1 which is a 1 second PR, and nowhere near what I wanted. all things considered though, it wasn't too  bad. Even alek didn't go under 9:30, he was 9:32, so it was cool to be within like 10 seconds of this crazy fast dude. super slow race for everybody. the negatives are that i didn't get the time or place i wanted. the positives are that no one did either, i negative split 4:55, 4:47, and it's still a PR even if it's one second. It really made me realize that there's still a lot of work to do, and I will get my goals. ALso there was a lot of dirt in the air on the track so idk if that had anything to do with it. not what i wanted, but all things considered, it wasn't terrible.
