Warmup + Newberry Park Workout + Cooldown Weights 3. Highkey a tough workout. Was having a hard time with the 800’s, just couldn’t figure out how to pace myself. Times were 3:20, 1:36, 1:41 + 3:27, 1:39, 1:39.

Pre + Race + Post with workout. I really enjoyed this meet, I felt pretty relaxed during the run, wasn’t stressing at all leading up to it or stressing during the actual race. Went into the meet with a calm attitude. Was told by coach that I could latch on to some Nequa kids as they were seeded around my time, but they were gone within the first lap, so I decided to stick to these 2 Saint Charles kids. Constantly kept latching on off these guys, but I always made sure to try to get back to them. I knew the pain was coming, which it did on the third lap, I made sure to stay calm and just stay with the guys ahead of me. Unfortunately my kick wasn’t enough to get passed the Saint Charles kids as they picked it up. Still pretty proud of my race.

Pretty good Dos. I felt good during the race and managed to shave off a handful of seconds from my PR.

Strange Garywood + Strides + CORE 3. Saw no one at any point of the run so I just turned back with Reda and Alex around 3 miles. Felt good today and excited to run the big DOS tomorrow.

Progression + 4*200 + 10 min cooldown. Sensational progression run today. Mile splits were 10:02, 9:01, 8:55, 8:45. Felt really alive during this run today and it feels good to be back with the team.

3 miles + CORE 2. Wasn’t that great of a run, felt bad the last 2 days due to some sort of poisoning that really messed up my digestive system. Was pretty humid in the fitness center, did CORE 2 with Cole.

Went on elliptical as when I got to the fitness center all the treadmills were taken. Either gonna have to get there earlier or later. Most likely going to double later today. Mileage on the elliptical must be broken because I feel like I put in the same effort as I do on the ones at Central and yet I barely went over a mile in this workout.

Continuous tempo workout on treadmill. Felt good. Glad we got up early to do it. (2 different pictures cause treadmill stopped during my 5 minute easy part).

Little run on my own, I couldn’t be with the team as I was getting a haircut right after school. Excited to see if I can take on this challenge of 55 miles I over break😳.

63rd and back warmup + 3^4*400 + cooldown + CORE 1. Felt real good during the workout, legs and lungs were dying on the last hundred of the last set. Felt especially good when I had my spikes in, felt like I could actually pick up my feet and move.

Conference 1 Mile I really hate to complain about this, but I don’t think this was my meet, and I don’t think this Indoor Season for me was great at all, I technically only had set 1 personal best throughout the season. Sure, my mile season best improved by 20 seconds from the time between LT and now, but is inexcusable when I’m even running 20 seconds slower than my personal best, which was under the lights. I was just shy of getting a PR, with 1 second, and I definitely could’ve gotten there. I completely shut down towards the second half, and to be honest, I was nervous leading up to the race as I had no one to pace with. Everyone was 30 seconds to a minute faster than what I was seeded at, and it completely discouraged me. I blame myself, I let my thoughts swallow me whole. I was constantly thinking negative thoughts as I was in the team area, and it overwhelmed me, putting my mind in a scramble leading up to the race. I didn’t know what to do at all, if I wanted to keep pace with Ayush and Eric, run with the pack, or just run my own. And, as soon as the gun went off, I was in the back. Going back to me shutting down, I must’ve just fell asleep, I knew I could’ve pushed myself harder on that last lap, and I am pretty pissed at myself for not going for it, I had nothing to lose. My goal by the end of indoor track was to at least get 6:10 or under in the mile, and sure, I’ve only ran 2 mile events, it still upsets me that I didn’t get myself passed that line or goal. It’s like I let myself down, I hope to come back for outdoor with more ferocity and drive to compete.

Stough Warmup + Tempo workout + Cooldown. Didn’t really feel too good of a workout, felt like I could’ve gone faster. Had a terrible side stitch during the warmup and a pain in my foot during the workout.
