So i talked to coach today, and i won't be running at state. I've ran my Freshman, sophmore, and junior year. But Sadly not my senior year, Wow. I don't know what to think i thought my solo performance at region was enough but i thought wrong. It goes to show how much support you truly need from your parents to be successful. Not for one second am I bashing on my parents because they work too hard to make ends meet and give me food on the table, and a roof on my head. I can only dream of that support. I dont know how i am going to break it to my parents, especially my mom because she had to do ask for the day off, and now she has to go back to work. My head hurts, and my tears just make it worse. Ive tried, not my best but ive tried. My negative mentality go the best of my for 3 years. I just feel that i let my parents down, i mean i can still see their faces when we spent $150 on shoes. its been hard. runnings been exhausting physically, mentally, financialy, and spiritually.

But through all these troubles, I've finally discovered the good. I have hopefully made life long friends in the Freshman 5 and houseboaters, as well as mentors in coach holt and coach roberts. I've found the fun in the most challenging sport. From the looks at the colleges that i've been talking to, I have hopefully found a way to pay for college, But most importantly I've grown as a human, I've become a better citizen to help others now and the future. I've made new goals for the upcoming track season and for College.

Track: Sub 1:57 800

           Sub 4:24 1600

College: All-American

I believe in myself from this day on. I believe that I will accomplish these goals. I have found the joy in the journey. Let's go get that Trophy boys.

20 minutes cuz my alarm wanted to be stupid.

70 minute we were cruising ran a good 10 miles as well as 4 striders my calves were being tender so I couldn't work on my form that well. Felt good.

easy 30 almost made it on time, dang it.

30 minutes extremely slow. It was nice and relaxing, overall the run just felt weird.

30 in the morning again almost on time.

65 workout

100 - practiced getting out, i need to get out faster, nick gapped us by like 3 seconds granted he was being a needle and started without us.

30 sec rec

1000- these thousands were pretty easy (3:20) i just kept running

3 min rec

1000- kept it in the pack, just chilled (3:19) never pushed.

3 min rec

400- i decided to start mid pack and slowly work my way up it was funny cuz the last 100 i swung super wide like to lane 4 and i was loling in my head. (64)

5 min rec

*2nd part of the workout* 

1000- i kept it in the pack like usual just chilling saving my energy. (3:19)

3 min rec

1000- decided to lead with alex and ran a solid (3:15). it didnt feel harder than all the other ones. it felt more consistant.

3 min rec

400- i got out super slow which is my fault finished in (65) i think.

30 sec

100- i always beast on 100/200s i ran like 13s and 25s on these workout sprints. i just wreck noobs. once again beasted.

overall happy with the workout hopefully i run fast enough to run the thousands in the lower teens. to make it harder, and maybe run the 400s in sub 60s idk. we'll see i like this workout.

30 in the morn

30 in the afternoon at a pretty ez pace

another ez 30.

Halloween went i was  a sexy lumberjack. Pretty steamy if you ask me. on the way back we usually have a race that is never spoken of. Pretty funny. i ended up taking 4th losing to Huns, Nuns, and Guns, Some weenie batman guy, and a caveman. soo close to that metal.

1 Mile Fun Run in support of Jason's Current Issues project which is to provide little kits of sanitary stuff for kids in our county that cant afford them. I coached nick the entire way, it is very impressive even when his body says no his mind says yes and he perserveres his way to become a true hero.

workout tempo plus 10x400 repeats @ the Region North Course.

the tempo was pretty chill just there to get the legs moving and the blood pumping. The first set of 5 400s were at a little easier pace i kept them with Lil D and anyone else who wanted to run with us. After our recovery we started the next set and we crushed them. times were something like this 70, 73,72,73,70 on some of these there were long small inclines or vice versa. The next set was like this 70, 69, 68,65,63. Pretty good stuff focused well which is the most important part. FOCUS. ready for monday.
