Go Hard on the Last Two

3 miles in the morning.

In the afternoon 2 mile warmup, 3x1000m, hit 3:20, 3:20, 3:18, then 4x400, hit 70, 68, 67, 67, and finished with all out 300m, hit 47, and 47. 1 mile cool down.

3 in the morning.

8 miles just past the Arizona Strip.

3 miles in the morning.

2 mile warmup, 4x400m, 1x800m didn't feel too good on this one, 2x400m felt a lot better on these ones, 4x200m, 1 mile cool down.

3 miles in the morning.

And 4 miles in the afternoon for an easy Kenyon Run. With some strides with spikes afterwards.

3 miles in the morning. Super nervous to race against the top of the top in region nine.

In the afternoon ran at the Hurricane Invitational 1600m today and 3200m tomorrow. 1600m felt really good 1:12, 1:11, 1:14, 1:09. To much of a jog on the third lap and tried my hardest to make up ground on the last lap. On the bright side I qualified for BYU and past a couple of people on the last lap. Not a bad time for the first meet of the year.

Today I started with cheering on the girls for Desert Hills before warming up. Then we warmed up 2 miles, during the two miles I was super nervous because I have never ran a 2 mile race before and if it was two miles it was when I was a kinderfesh and it was cross country so I was nervous for the reasons shown. As we came back from the warmup we got to the field and the first race of the girls was coming to a close. And the second one started. We cheered on the Schimbecks as we began calisthenics and strides. I went to get a sticker and looked at the heat sheet and saw that I was projected 11th in the race. I was so discombobulated that I didn't get a sticker until the race was minutes from starting. When we were being placed on the line I was standing one spot behind Alex Hill and as the gun shot he was of and I was somewhat in the back with Tanner Sharp and I could hear President Coach John Powell saying "Stick on Tanner Bryson!" I guess you could say that that was my game plan. As he moved up, I moved up. It slowly went on like that for the first mile in which my split was dead on what I was looking for 5:04. From here the "keeping up with Tanner" really began. On the 7th lap I noticed that we were coming up on Eric Lambert from Cedar and further ahead of him was Bronco and Spencer from Dixie. Eventually we hit the last lap and off goes Tanner. It was like I had lost my front tire I didn't know what to do except for chase it down. I hit the last 200m of the race and was too far off to catch anyone but I could prevent being caught and even cut down time. The quote that I thought of was surprisingly from Eminem "if you had one chance to seize everything you ever wanted? Would you take it or just let it slip?" I chase down the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, although I didn't catch any of them I was close to Spencer and was relived that the race was over.
