Amazingly Spectacular Under da Lights. It felt really good to actually get a PR during a race. I had been talking to James for the last week about pacing each other for this race to attempt sub 6, and it was cool to warmup with him and chat a bit. I had tried to get 45 every 200, props to Ian for helping out. It was just a little too difficult for me to get to sub 6, but I’ll gladly take this huge PR from the race. I took a pretty big risk trying to push myself, and my splits were rather mediocre😬, and my legs were BURNING start of the 3rd lap, and it was hard to pick it up for the last lap.

Conference 800. I was super excited to run today, but super nervous as well. This season didn’t go as I had hoped, and I was nervous of not getting a PR. Did everything like usual, and tried to stay calm. Talked with the guy who walked with us to the line about any goals, and I told him I was hoping to go at least under 2:55. When I got to the area, Coach told me something that definitely helped me, “Turn your mind off, just RACE”. This helped me a ton as I was super nervous going up to the line. As soon as the gun went off I tried as hard as I could to get out. I felt really good, and kept pushing myself harder and harder. I unfortunately got boxed in at some point in the first lap, and that screwed me over. The same guy that got in front of me and slowed back did end up beating me just by 0.02 seconds, but I feel like this meet was very successful for me. I had had issues this whole season trying to run with packs similar to my pace for every meet as I’m not as fast as everyone else. It would always set me off when I would be going against people who were 20-30+ seconds faster than me. This meet was very different, I did have a pack of people to keep myself by, and I was actually able to push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of.

Not great of a meet. Didn’t push myself hard enough, and as a result, didn’t get the time I wanted.

Waterfall long run, felt alright. Need to push myself to go looping, out and back is quite boring.

So-So meet. Was tuning in and out constantly during this race, and I definitely could’ve gone faster to secure the PR. I felt so good during this race, probably the best all season, but I didn’t take advantage of it.

Warmup + Tempo Workout + Cooldown + Glute/Ham. Pretty decent workout, I liked taking those little rests between sets instead of it being continuous like last time, allowed me to get somewhat similar splits in my 400s.

Underwhelming HS Meet. All I got to put towards it is I let the nerves consume me again, and I didn’t perform well. Granted, that’s not the only factor, I just need to stop making it bigger than what it is, constantly thinking about having 2 big events that I had never done in one meet just put unnecessary stress into my head.

Warmup + Workout (4*600 1 min rest 300) + Cooldown + Weights 2. Felt pretty good during the workout, little gassed at times. Lactic buildup was insane. Made sure to ice and roll out when getting home.
