3 miles in the morning. A little colder than usual today but it felt nice. 

Last workout before state in the afternoon. We did 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 50 on the track with 100m cool down in between. Coach said to treat them like we were finishing a race. I hit 58, 44, 27 on the 400, 300, and 200, but didn't time the others. I didn't feel like I was going very fast to hit those times which was good. And we got to start from the blocks on the 100, that was fun. I felt like Usaine Bolt.

Drove up to Provo today with the team. We watched some movies so that was fun. 3 miles when we got up there. Tired from the drive.

3 miles this morning on the Provo River trail. Afterwards, we just had a fun, relaxing day. We went to UVU and watched the 10k races, then we went to the mall and watched Captain America 2, which has to be the best marvel movie so far.

Day 1 of state. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I kept waking up a lot. I warmed up and got ready for the 1600. The race didn't go as well as planned. I stuck right behind Bryan and Garrett for the first lap, then Bryan surged and I couldn't go with them, so I ended up leading the chase pack for the next 2 laps and didn't feel strong on the final lap at all. After that I went back to the hotel and rested for a little bit before the medley. In the medley my legs felt like trash and I got the baton in second and finished in sixth so that sucked. I cooled down a little bit afterwards.

Day 2 of state. I got there around 10 to watch the 3200, our boys had 4 runners in the top 6 which was sweet! It was way hot for the rest of the day, but I stayed under our tent and drank a lot of water so it wasn't too bad. When I was warming up for the 800 I felt pretty good. I felt ready to race. Well the race didn't go too awesome. I don't know what my split was at the first lap, but I just couldn't finish the race like I usually have been able too during the season. I might be getting my blood checked soon because I should've run a lot better these last few weeks and I don't know why I haven't been able to.
