6 miles today at track. The track coach threw a tantum (no joke for no reason) and sent everyone home without praticing. I stayed because i nedd to train, so i went out to the track did a 2 mile warmup( in the rain and wind alone) then continued into 400m with 200m rest repeats, 6 of them, 85-70 seconds goal. I did them. The slowest was 82 seconds and the fastest 74. Two mile cooldown and then walked home. Really understanding what a diehard runner is and i am happy to be one of them. :)

7.5 miles at track. Today i went a little slower, well i planned on it. 2 mile warmup and then ran hard for 5 minutes and rested for 2-3 minutes. We did 4 of these and i averaged 3 and 1/2 laps. I out ran everyone else by 550 meters. On one them i ran 3 and 3/4 laps in 5 minutes!!!!!! so i had a 100m left which means i probably could have just ran a 5:15ish mile!!!!!!!! On a dirt track!!!! I wasn't working really overly hard so i think i could go even faster!!!!! 1 mile cool down, feeling awesome!!!!

7 miles at track pratice. 3 mile run to bread store and back. Solid pase finished first 3 in 23:15 minutes. Ate a slice of pumpkin chocolate chip bread and ran back in 24 minutes even. I di not see a another teammate until about half way back. I had stpped, ate and crossed cross walks and still no one ran with me. :'(. Came back did mile cooldown. It is sure lonely being a faster long distance runner......

Very cold and windy day, a very badly organized meet.  They forgot about the 1600m until very late.

2:39 for the 800m (5th) and 5:49 for the 1600m (3rd in a really bad wind).  McKay and I ran it pretty easy.

Worse meet yet, ok with my times.

1 mile with Katelyn around the park then 3 more loops around the neighborhood.

5miles at practice.

4 miles at practice around the halls inside due to the heavy rain.

.5 race warmup. I was going to run the 800m and 1600m, but do to pouring rain, wind and injured kids we could not run. ;'(

8 steady miles with Dad, Curt, Craig and Lynette. Long and steady. Between 730 and 615 pace.

8 miles at track pracfice.  1 mile warmup then a mile in 5:42!  I then led the team in 5 - 800m repeats.  Most of the team dropped out. A cool down afterwards.

4.25 miles from the school to Tauphaus park to run the high 5 relay course.  Distance kids still don't know how to put in a good workout on my team (except for a couple of kids).  According to one of my "friends" my dad and I don't really know that much about running. 

The Sandcreek meet today.  I am frustrated with the running on the track with people cutting me off and guys running on the inside of the lines and not getting DQ'd.  

800m in 2:34 for 4th.  Outkicked a couple of kids in the last 100m.

1600m in 5;33 new PR!   4th place though as I let the race get away from me in front and did not keep with the front 2 guys.  I am going to RACE the conference champs next week and not let them get away.
