3 miles to Hidden Valley this morning, Monday mornings are always the hardest to get up on. 

Workout in the afternoon was 2 mile warm up, 4x200, 3x600, 2x300, 1 mile cool down. It was pretty hot out today, I think it hit 80+ degrees. I drank a lot of water during school, and the temperature didn't bother me much so that was good. I hit my times for the 200s and the first 600, but the next two 600s were fast, 29 second 200 pace, and I was a couple seconds off on both of those. After the last 600 my legs felt like jello, I hit the first 300 on pace, but my legs were trashed after that and I was about a second off on the last one. Overall a really good killer workout, and a good confidence booster. I can feel myself getting stronger!

3 miles in the morning. In the afternoon we drove over to the Panther Relays and it was a blast. My legs were pretty trashed from the workout yesterday though. 2 mile warm up, then I got about 2.5 miles in doing relays and jogging around in between, and cooled down a little bit afterwards. It was a way fun meet, and it's good to do something like this about midway through the season just to have a little fun and not stress about things.

3 miles in the morning. In the afternoon we did 6.5 easy. My hamstrings were really tight from Monday and yesterday. I'll have to roll out tonight.

No morning run today, it felt good to sleep in. Dixie Invite in the afternoon, I ran the 1600 today. Well, I started to warm up with the guys and about a quarter mile out I realized that I didn't have the right shoes on (I was wearing my old Pegasuses to school and I forgot to change into my current trainers!), so we went back to the school and I got the right ones. My legs felt a little tired, and my hamstrings were still a little tight, but they felt better after the warm up. Anyways, they packed our heat and there was 3 runners per lane so that was pretty dumb, but I got out good both times (on the first one the kid next to me tripped). I didn't really want to lead though, so I let the Ogden guys take it out, but we were pretty slow through 400, 1:09-10 I think. We picked it up on the second lap, 2:16 (1:06-7), slow, but we were back on pace. I'm not sure what the split was for my third or fourth laps, but I think I finished pretty strong. I PRed by like .2 seconds, not as fast as I was hoping for, but still alright for the way things went out.

Warmed up 2 miles before my race. I got out good, they did the alley start again which was good, but I got sort of boxed in on the backstretch. Towards the end of the first lap I just decided to go for it, so I surged to the front and basically just kicked from there. With 200 left I felt Nephi coming up on me, so I made another surge and was able to hold him off and got my first varsity meet win ever so that was awesome. Then I anchored our 4x4 team and we won by a hair! Pretty awesome weekend, got some PRs and had a lot of fun!
