Real Men Wear Short Shorts!!

Today was basic, warm up two laps, then agilities, Paxton surprised me by saying i was gonna have an easy day today. So i ran With Dustin and another friend and we did 40 minutes or so. it felt way nice. my calves were pretty tight and what not but i got a full body massage when i got home so that should help a lot!!! =D

Everything was the same as usual. warm up 2 laps and the abilities and then static stretching. Today's work out was miserable. I was suppose to do what everyone did yesterday. I did only 2 out of the 3 sets of 800, 400, and 2x 200 but my 2nd set i did a 4 instead of the 2's. my times were 2:23, 69, 34, 35, 2:25, 67, 66. I got my time down to the pace i wanted but the wind was really pushing me back. it was terrrible and i was pissed about it cause i wanted to work hard and land some good times today, but the wind was making it really hard! my hamstrings weren't hurting, but the wind resistance was really making them burn. I did 15 minutes cool down. and stretched. I talked to the Orion Jr. High kids and helped them with some form and running stuff. so it was fun to see some old friends or young friends i haven't seen in a while. not the greatest day of running. Bights side of the day. I got my new Brooks!!! first day wearing them tomorrow!!

We had a Trimeet at Syracuse today!! pretty epic! it was an easy to moderate, ok easy day for me! ha ha, Paxton didn't want me running hard so to make things a wee bit more interesting. I decided to change my names..... and take last!!! =D it was sooooo epic!!! ha ha ha i ran a 6:04 mile which felt soooo slow and nice!! I didn't even warm up! i just ran over and hopped in! my name was Napolian Dynamite. then we decided to sunbath with our shirts off and shorts rolled up in the middle of the football field!! Paxton came and yelled at us to put some clothes on!! The 3200 was even more epic!! Jace, Stephen Baker, and Steven Benett and i all decided to go slow, and change our names!! Jace was Princess Consuela, Stehpen Baker was Thing 1, Steven Benett was Stevo Bonito and i was Fredrico Caliente!!! i ran about a 15:00 3200 so pretty darn slow. part of the reason was i turned around and ran the opposite way. and Jace and i were slapping each other the whole time!!! it was a grand old meet to screw off in!!

Today was same as usual, only i did a 30 minute run. Super easy, getting ready for the BYU Invite!! felt pretty good! still breaking in my new shoes!

Today was Day 1 of the BYU Invite!!! i didn't get to race today in the 3200 =( oh well i did get to warm up and cool down and watch Susannah run her races and watch everyone else from Weber race!!! it was way fun!!! 

Day 2 of the BYU Invatational!!!! totally epic! Got to drive down (even though i wasn't suppose too!) But i warmed up 10 minutes with Susannah. I then hurried up and grabbed my spikes cause they were sorting everyone in the bull pen and i needed to hurry up. Jamon Carver was in my heat so as we were sitting there stretching and doing some agilities on the track, i was going over some strategy with him, i told him that we should work together on the last two laps and push each other cause i knew that the race would pull us into a 2:15ish 800, and it did i crossed about 2:15-16. not quite sure but it was basically right on pace. I told him that not to take the lead too early otherwise we'll die. We lined up and i made sure i got a good start this time. i was in a pretty good position the whole time. it was going onto the 2nd lap when i saw Jamon sprint up to the front. (his one mistake) he knows and i know that if he goes out too fast i'll catch him no matter what. I did, by the time i was on the third lap i was ahead of him! i was pushing it as hard as i could that third lap so i could stay consistant. I was pushing as hard as i could and by the 200 meter mark i was on my toes and passing some kids. I crossed the line at 4:36! a 3 second PR!!! soooo happy about that! =D I was soooo tired afterwards i took a while to recover, after i cooled down and stretched i went and fell asleep next to Susannah under the East High tent. My Medley team came and got me (I was actually surprised that they knew where to find me!!) This was my first time doing the Medley ever and my first time this year doing the 800 competatively. We warmed up, but warmed up too early cause we sat around for soooooo long!! it sucked. we finally got out on the track, and I was in first place when they handed off to me for the 800! i held it for the first lap and ran a 61, unfortunately i wasn't fresh and the mile really began to sink in! i ended up running a 2:08! not bad but i could have ran 2:01 or so. I had to leave for SLC for pics but came back after to try to catch Susannahs races, but sadly i missed those. i did get to watch some more of Weber race which was way cool! Best two day meet since Simplot Games!! =D
