The Mongoose

No morning run. In the afternoon we did 4 miles w/4x200m finishes afterwards w/equal recovery.

Today was the Region 9 meet at the Bloomington Hills North Park. I wanted to push myself and really just leave it all out there on the course. I was very happy with how I ran today and think I accomplished that goal. Very proud of my our team and our victory today. Now we just need to keep working hard and work for another good race at state.

3 in the morning to The Spectrum. 5 easy out on the trails in the afternoon. I tried out some new shoes today and they felt pretty good but I think I just need to ease into them a little more. Pretty sore today from the race but my hip was feeling good so that's a plus.

We did our team workout in the morning today. 5 miles total (2 mile warm up, 4x200m hill repeats w/equal recovery, 4x200m relay finishes w/equal recovery, 1 mile cool down). Nothing too fast for the hill repeats, we just tried to stay relaxed and focus on form. For the relay, Coach split our varsity teams up and we did a relay thing which was pretty fun. Felt pretty good but I didn't want to go all out and mess up my hip again.

Just did the 3 miles in the afternoon solo but ended up running into the McPhies with about half a mile left so they joined me for the rest of the way.

4 easy in the morning with the McPhies and Dallin. 3 more easy miles in the afternoon by myslef.

5 miles this morning with some 30 second pickups in the last mile. I felt really good this morning during the pickups and went and got one last massage before state in the afternoon. Getting way excited to run at state, just a few more days until we leave for Salt Lake!!
