I woke up this morning and my knee was feeling better. The pain was still there a little bit but much better than on Friday and Saturday. Easy 3.

In the afternoon we had a workout on the track. The intervals were a little longer than usual, but the times weren't too quick so it wasn't a very tough workout. Finished with some quick 200s. Good workout, I was a little nervous with my knee but it felt fine.

3 miles in the morning. 

8 in the afternoon out on the AZ strip for #trt. Honestly struggled a bit today. Calves were kind of bugging and I felt a little tired. Rolled out and iced tonight so that should help.

3 in the morning. Girls came. Hawt. 

Track workout in the afternoon. Started off pretty easy just working into the faster stuff with a couple 200s at :33, then an 800 at the same pace, a little tougher but not bad. The rest of the workout got shorter and faster with each interval. 600 @ 1:30, 400 @ :59, and a 300 to finish the workout @ :41. Pretty good workout. My calves felt a lot better today. Weights after.

3 miles easy in the morning, then a long drive to Pheonix afterward. When we got to our hotel, it looked a little sketchy (we were next door to a marijuana store), so we ended up staying at Coach's brother-in-law's house. 

4 miles on this trail just a few minutes away from the house. Pretty nice.

Around 2 miles for a shakeout run in the morning before watching Rachel run in the seeded 1600. She did great. Then we went back to the house and chilled. There wasn't a whole lot to do, so we watched some bball, wrestled a little bit, and snapchatted women. At about 5 we went back over to the track for the rest of our races. I ran my warm up alone and got back with barely enough time to throw my spikes on and get on the track, a little hectic. I ran in the first heat of the Elite mile. They lined us up really weird, so I was on the very outside stagger even though I had one of the fastest times in the heat. Didn't really matter though, and I got out good. I even led the first lap because no one else would really take the lead. Rest of the race went okay. I just sat in 3rd/4th until the last 200m and kicked but just missed the leader and got passed by another guy at the last second. The first 4 of us were within half a second so it was pretty tight. Ended up running the full mile in 4:26.79, and through 1600 at 4:25.25, which is about a second PR.  Not bad for a season opener (I don't really count Hurricane as the season opener), but lots of room for improvement. Cooled down a little by myself, then some with the 3200 guys before their race, and with Laynee and Rachel a little more after her race. The 3200 guys kicked butt. Jaiden ran 9:26 (new school record), Josh ran 9:33, and Sage went 9:44. Then Laynee went 11:22 (new school record). Pretty awesome meet for everybody. Excited for Pine View next week and to run against some in-state competition.
