Today was the Kanab Frosh/Soph Invite. I did about a 2.5 mile warm up and then ran the open 400 just to try and see what I could do. I wanted to just get around 55 but I didn't think I was going to hit my goal time because it was pretty windy. I took second in my heat but I didn't think I ran too fast, but I looked at the results and it said I ran a 54.2 and took second overall, so it was a pretty good race for me. Then I jogged around for about a mile to stay loose for the 800. They split us up into freshman and sophomore heats, so there was only six people in my heat. By the 200 meter mark, I already had about a 20-30 meter lead so I knew if I wanted to get a good time I was going to have to push myself harder. I ended up running a 2:09 so it wasn't an awesome time but I'm just going to try and focus on the Desert Hills Invite this weekend and get myself down to a 2:03. Did about a .5 mile cool down after the race.

Today I had to skip morning practice because we got home late last night from Kanab and I stayed up until midnight doing math homework.

PM: Just 4 easy on the spectrum route with some striders on the grass.

Forgot to do my run while I was at the track meet today so I hurried and tried to get in a few miles before it got dark but I only ended up getting a couple before it got pretty dark.

Today I ran the 800 at the Desert Hills Invite. I did a 1.5 mile warm up and some striders to warm up for the race. I got out fast and got really good position at the start. One runner went out way fast and ended up at a 1:56 but other than that, I sat on another runners hip who led the whole first lap. We came around at a 61-62 so I was about where I wanted to be for the first lap. On the backstretch, Jaren was the first one to pass us and I should have dropped the other runner and went with Jaren but I decided to sit for a little longer. I passed the other runner with about 75 meters to go but got outkicked by a few kids too. After the race my legs were tired but I'm still not satisfied and I think I still had a little kick left in me. Getting out into good position really helped me this race and made it a lot easier to run the time that I did. My goal for next race is going to be to try and go with Jaren on that last lap and not get passed in the last 100 meters. I got a 2.5 second PR which was good but I still need to cut a few seconds off to qualify for state. I don't think that was the best I could have done today, so hopefully if I keep working hard, and if I trust in my training and leave nothing left on the track, I will be able to qualify for state. That is my #1 goal this season.
