Speed today. Normal warmup, then mile warmup and mile speed changes. It was at mile pace, so it was faster for me. Oh the beauty of PRing. The workout was 2 sets of 600, 400, and 2 300s. We rounded my pace down to 5:12 pace. I hit 1:57 (right on), then 76, a bit fast, then 52, way too fast, then 56, still too fast. Then we did a lap between sets, I definitely felt it on this set, hit 2:06, 80, 60, 58. I want to say the wind picked up, it was so strong by the end! The finishing part always felt like someone was pushing me back and I was barely moving, it sucked. Maybe it was just because I'm not used to the new pace. I don't know.

Then I went on a cool down with Garek and Chris for 2 miles.

We did 2 laps warmup, stretching, and drills, then we did mile warmup, mile speed changes. Then we went over to the 200 start and did 200s, then switched to 300s after the 3rd one. I hit 32, 33, 33, 53, 54. Then we did cool down to 5.5 I think

We got to Woods Cross, and it was raining, then came the lightning, and regions was postponed to thursday/friday. So after hanging out there for like an hour, we went back to East. We did 10 minutes warmup, then did 10 x 1 minute on 1 minute off, then did a grass lap and finished to 5.

1.5 shakeout

PM:

Today was regions. I did 2.75 warmup including strides.

Today was the 1600. I feel like I could've done better. I was seeded third. My first 800 was on pace for a good time, 2:36ish is what I heard. The 3rd lap wasn't as bad as I thought it was, I was right around 4 minutes. It was the last lap that I had trouble with, I had a hard time getting myself to actually kick. :/ I held off the 5th place person, I wasn't gonna come this far to not make it to state. :)

Then I did 2 miles cool down.

Today was the 2nd day of regions. I did 2.5 warmup, then they delayed the 800s because of people taking the stats test, so I sat down and waited until they gave us a 15 minute warning thing, then ran around some more, did more strides and drills. I felt like I warmed up too much, but oh well.

Bill said the start was gonna be a dogfight, so I made sure to get out fast. I moved right behind the Bountiful girl, then just hung with her. The first lap was a 70. I started to fall off of her, then 2 people passed me, with 200 to go I realized I was in 4th, the girl behind me was gonna want to outkick me, so I started to kick, and then swung like we practice and outkicked the girl that won the mile yesterday in the last 100 meters. I got 2:25, a new PR!

Then I warmed up again for about a half mile. Did some more strides.

Next was the 3200. It really just sucked. I wasn't focused at all, I was amazed that I actually qualified for state in the 800, I didn't think I could do it! Then all of a sudden I was racing again, except it felt like jogging. The pace felt so incredibly slow! After 2 laps I decided to push the pace, I wasn't really thinking, but the pace literally felt like I was just running it. Then Abigail fought me for it, pushing me out in lane 2. I should've just tucked behind her and made her do all the work, but somehow I felt like that was cheating. We came through the mile at 5:50, I took it as being way too slow, I'm used to hitting it in 5:30ish. I think I just turned all thoughts negative at that point, I just gave up, I wish I hadn't, I ended up just running the rest of it. Incredibly slow race, I would have thought it was going to be much faster, the winner was around an 11:50, I could've won it if I actually tried! Gah I'm so mad I didn't actually race it like I should have!

Anyway, a disappointment that I didn't make it to state in the 3200, I really like the 3200 when I race it hard. It's hard to think that I am faster than some of those girls that made it to state, yet I didn't qualify. At least I'm only a sophomore. But hey, I scored 15 points for our team, and made it to state in 2 events.

I ran to the track, then we ran up to foothill, and did the VA loop to the cemetery. I felt kinda sick and lethargic. It was really nice outside, hot too. When we got to the hill, we did 5 continuous hill strides, then went back to the track along guardsman and did 2 chase 300s, I hit 54, 54. Then we did 2 grass laps and finished to 9.5.
