AM- 3 miles easy and felt pretty good for a monday morning run.

PM- 6x1000m The first 4 were pretty solid! (3:14, 3:11, 3:10, 3:14) and then the fifth one I let my pain control my body and really slowed down.  I noticed when I tighten my face and look down it means I am giving in to my pains and if I work on my form and look up and keep my face loose I can push through my pain!  The last one was on time but I could've gone faster! 3:14 on the last one.  I have read some previous posts that I am gonna apply now!!

AM- 3 felt pretty good.  a little sore.

PM- 2 of MILE MILE 4x2's!! First two miles were too fast cause I was pacing behind devo and he thought mike was going his pace (like he told him he was) so we were fast (5:28; 5:30).  All my first 200m were solid, just behind devo. The next 2 miles were bad due to fatigue from yesterdays workout and starting out too fast. (5:36; 5:45).  The last 4 200m's were really good! I stuck with mike and finished every one of them strong!!  I think after some good recovery I will make the next workout even stronger!

Ran up towards washington elementary then up towards walmart then down to the highschool.  After that I went a mile around the school then back to my house.  Most of it I felt good until the last 2-3 miles I felt really tired.  I think that's just because of the long week.  I think I will do well next week!

AM- Ran with the boyz out by dixie rock on a trail that we went on once for trail thursdays.  It was a good run, had a bit of bowel issues but it felt better than I have before when I have had bowel issues.  We then went by the hospital and ran around the temple a couple of times and then ran a couple of strider on the park nearby.  I really felt pretty good on this run and can't wait for the next race.

PM-  3 I ran 10 min after I ate so I began to have cramps and really didn't run that fast, but it still felt alright.

AM- It was good except right at the beginning I had to tie my shoe and when I started to catch up a shocking pain went through my thigh...but weird thing is it doesn't hurt anymore.

PM- 7x800m.  It was not my best workout....I felt dehydrated, fatigued, and mentally all over the place.  I started out good-ish but then on the last three I found myself struggling to get my legs moving and really just not in it mentally.  The heat may have played a role, but I have been doing so good lately at workouts I can't see why I could't just push through it.  I really need to work on finishing workouts and getting my legs moving the right speed even when they are dead.

AM- 3

PM- 12x400 w/ D.I. warm and cool.  It was a pretty solid workout! I worked on not panicing when I am behind devo and michael at the beginning and just tucking behind them.  It worked really well, because Devo really had solid last 200m so I just went with him!  The hard part was the wind was either pushing with us and against us.  I really liked how I did tho! Always room for improvement but a good step to building confidence in myself and my abilities!  I have always known that I have had potential and could be great, but I have always been affraid for no reason but failure.  Not to sound conceded, but I really felt like I was amazing my freshmen year and I was! and then I started putting pressure on myself and began analyzing EVERYTHING!  I just need to go back to the real drive of running...PASSION!  None of this analyzing crap...I do enough of that and I don't need more! I am well aware of what I need to do and my body knows so when I need to do it, it will come to me naturally and subconsciously! It's like breathing...If you think about it consciously, it seems a lot harder than it is!!  Wow...that was a good off the top of the head comparison...haha.  Time to go all naturale (just with running tho ;) and run with passion and desire to be the best!!!!

AM-3

PM- 5 w/ striders.  I felt good today it was a pretty fun run.  Tomorrow I am gonna listen to coach and just run my heart out.  Sometimes, oh I mean, constantly, I analyze and over-analyze everything.  I noticed that while I try to run fast I analyze my form, breathing, fatigue, and even mental slip-ups (ironic i know).  I even caught myself analyzing why I analyze myself!!! hahaha true story bro.  (or sis. but I highly doubt I am cool enough to have one of them reading this haha).  I really just need to do what I need to do and race my heart out.  It's coming closer to the end of the season and I haven't even got use to track races really yet!!! TOMORROW IS D-DAY!!!!! Here I come fascist cedar nonbelievers.  Ha sorry I am in a weird mood today...haha

1600m- 4:47 it was a decent race.  I had it in me to go with mike but everytime I tried I either got stuck in the first lane or cut off or ran into, but when I finally had a chance I had no juice left.  It was a decent race, the wind played a big factor.

3200m- 10:25 it was a strong race, but due to the weather I didn't qualify.  For sure next race and I think that I can qualify by a distance if I play my cards right.

AM- 3 nice to get the junk out

PM- 10x400m  I started out too fast and when it finally came down to guts I really gave in to fatigue.  Coach said something that I am gonna apply he said that we must just run our guts out and let him do the analyzing.  That's what I am going to do from now on...let him analyze and just put my heart into it.  I am not gonna cry about hurting or being a whimp.  I am gonna put my heart into it.  I actually ended up running the last 3 as 200m because I wasn't running as fast, or even near, what I was suppose to.  I ran the last 3 at the front and it felt pretty weird and actually good.  He told me that as soon as I thought oh it's easy (the 200m) instead I ran faster.  Another reason is I was affraid he was going to make me do more haha.

AM- 3 miles.  My hipflexor is really sore but good run.

PM- Distance medley (1200m)- It was a good first and last lap but I needed to stick with mike on the second.  Maybe even take the lead on the first lap and let mike take the second lap.  Good race though.

4x800- I ran decent...I ran really strong.  I really needed to kick on this race and last lap.

4x400- I was second of my group and was really strong even though I was tired.  I startedd to catch devo who was quite a bit ahead of me, for the first 200m but then the distance stayed the same.

Over-all:  Very good group of races for a kinda workout meet.  Excited to just run my guts out Friday!!

AM-3 easy

PM- 1600m with a warm/cool.  It was a pretty bad race.  I was in the second fastest heat ranked 6th, which ticked me off, but apparently they were not too far off.  I ended up taking around 5th in my heat with a time of 4:48.  I really had no guts when I need to go and just sat.

AM- 3200m.  I ran really great the first 5 laps! I ran with tyson for 3 then with mike buckley (ogden) for the next 2 laps.  Then, when the gut check came, I really slowed down and forgot to surge and ATTACK!  All in all I missed state by 1 SECOND!  The positives to take from this was that I ran a faster 1st mile split faster than my mile yesterday, which means I can run the mile WAY faster!  Also, I ran with tyson for most of the first mile and I didn't really hurt, actually I felt great!  I just need to surge more and pass when I need to and not settle!  I really think I can run with the big boys now if I just believe and show how much GUTS I have!  I really am gonna hit next weeks workouts and qualify in the mile and 2mile at SUU!
