Become to Be

Morning- No run due to illness. I wanted to make sure it was gone.

Afternoon- I went home from school at like 8. Like before school even started. I drank 202.8 oz's of water today, so I think I am not dehydrated at all, and rested all day! I will run tomorrow, and be ready to race Thrusday! 

Morning- Nice and easy 3 with plyos.

Afternoon- 4 miles with striders. I have a crazy blister on my toe....

Morning- Had a work out of 12x200's. They were pretty could. Required to push, but nothing too insane. But splits were 31, 32, 31, 32, 31, 32, 31, 31, 30, 30, 30, and 29. Abel got a little excited on the last one. So I went with him. The first half (6) were supposed to be at race pace, and then the last half was supposed to be faster I tried to go faster the first few same times... But then they finally dropped! :) Good work out!

Afternoon- 4 miles with 4x200's! More 200's! Yeah! :) I felt pretty tired today..... But hey I pushed through! I always do!

Morning- Nice and easy 3. Felt pretty tired still...

Afternoon- Got on the bus for the meet. I didn't race for a while. And the ride wasn't very long so I ate just a little, because I thought I would be racing soon... Turns out it wasn't for another 2 hours so I was straving, and had no energy to run....

Race Report-

1,600 meter: I felt sluggish so to say, because I had not ate for like 6 hours.... I tried to get pumped, but the energy just wasn't there..... Learn from it, move on! Amen! But I started out pretty well at a 1:10 the first lap. And I thought I was speeding up on the 2nd lap. Not even close..... Came around the 2nd lap around 2:25 (1:15).  I could tell that I had no energy. It's like running on a tank of gas that's empty, just doesn't work. It's like having a car without gas.... You can't go anywhere! Besides pushing it! That's what I was doing pretty much..... That's unacceptable to me! Just straight up! That's barely on pace to break 5! I can do that in a work out!! But this is where it really hurt me..... My 3rd lap I came around at 3:44 (1:18).... That's slower than slow for me...... That's like a joke for me man..... HAHA! I even laugh now at it! But I just got straight up angry (P.O.)! So I just started sprinting as fast as I could. And ran the last lap at 4:52 (1:05)!  Not too shabby for the last lap! Because Abel, and Byron ran that exact same lap for the last! Nice start, nice finish, but no nice laps in the middle.... I will work on that! Learning from it, moving on baby! I wasn't really even that tired after the race too..... Like after I got my breath back! >:(

800 meter (medley)- I started out pretty good, and wanting to catch B- Whit from DH, and Jason Quinn from Dixie, but seriously.... They are just soo stinking fast man! But the first 200 I came by at 28, which is a bit fast. Slow I toned it down just by a litte. And then the first lap came around 1:02-:03. Not bad for a first lap! And then the curves were longer so that kinda messed up my pushing zones... But I tried pushing the curve, and the back stretch I slowed down too much. But not too much. And I was at 1:36 with 200 to go, and I started kicking, finished at a 2:09ish I guess. Not too bad. I was happy with the results. But Just gotta stay more relaxed on that 2nd lap. Like not get soo tensed up. That's for the last 200! :) But I like the 800! I was actually happy with it! But good experience! I talked to Brigham from DH after the race, and turns out he ran a 1:57!! Yikes! That's fast! Barely beating J.J. (Jason Quinn) from Dixie at a 1:58! That makes 4 sub 2's in Region 9 already in the 800! That's means I gotta run state times for sure! 2:01.09 here I come! :)

Morning- 8 miles with 20 minute tempo at AT pace. Not bad for a tempo. I estimated my pace was around 5:45-5:50. Not bad! Actually probally my best tempo! Haha! I suck at tempos.... But I am learning! That's all I really can do from here. I just straight up turned my mind off, and just went with Krenny, until the last mile the kid took off and made about a 10 meter gap, nothing too big, but by the end I got him! :) So it's all good! Good job Krenny! Had weights, and plyos after! Those hurt for sure! Legs are fried, and tired for sure! I couldn't even jump super high on plyos! It was funny watching Krenshaw the first few, because he almost tripped everyone! I was laughing soo hard! Krenshaw was the work out buddy today, and the Funny BOY! The feeling of working hard is coming back!
