Warmed up for 2 miles. Workout was 2x2mile (w/800m jog after) on the roads, 4x200m. 2 miles were rough since, yet again, it was windy. First one was 10:38 and second was 10:48. On the track and without wind they probably would have been 10:20s. 200s were 32, 31, 31, 29. 2 miles of cooldown for 10.

First day off in a long time. Wasn't planning on it but I got back late from fishing and I figured I'd get more from resting than running late.

Olathe Invite today. I jogged a mile at the beginning of the meet to loosen up. We thought the wind was going to die down from earlier in the day and it did, but it was still blowing steady. 2 miles of warmup before the race and stretches. First lap was a 69 and I was in 5th... plan was to stick behind the guys who went out fast for a lap or two. Coming through the 800 I got into the lead. Came through the mile in 4:48. I felt good throughout the whole thing but my stomach was uneasy. Won with 9:46 and an 18 second lead. Cooled down a mile on the turf.

I was still pretty wornout from the weekend. 8s were in 2:18, 2:18, 2:17, 2:15, 4s were 65, 64 and 2s were both in 29. Cooled down for 2 miles and stretched out a little bit.

Race: Barrier Breakers Invitational (0.994 Miles) 00:04:27, Place overall: 4

5.000.000.003.008.00

Barrier Breakers today... 3200 was the first distance event at the meet (at like 5:00). I warmed up for 2 miles and got stretched out. In the race there was a pack of 4 up front. Went 71 for the first lap and 75 for the next so we picked it up the effort and came through the mile in 4:50. On the sixth lap there was a 3m gap between the front two and me and this other guy. I had a chance to make a move and get behind them but I didn't take it... :/. They ended up splitting off a little in the last 700m. I ended up in 4th in 9:37. I wish I would have made that move. Cooled down for a mile.

The 1600 had 2 heats of girls and 4 heats of guys. My race started around 9:30. After the 32 I drank a cup of coffee to perk myself up. During the girls race I warmed up for a mile on the turf and switched shoes. Me and some of the other guys in my race were talking and we decided that we would pack run and go for sub 4:30 and take our attention off of these two guys who were going for sub 4:20 since they were both fresh. In our group we ran a 66 first lap and came through the 800 at 2:16. We picked it up a little and ran a 68 next lap. In our pre-race discussion we agreed that if we had anything left in our legs to just go with it on the last lap. Coming around the first curve I was in third within our pack (where I was the entirety of the race beforehand) and on the inside. I felt really good and started to roll but this east kid got on the outside and blocked my path. I hit the brakes for a second and moved outside. I also knew my boys who were running 1 and 2 in our group wanted to kick so as we came into the back straight I took off and got into the lead. At the 200 mark I took a few strides to recollect myself and then dipped back into my kick. As I came to the home stretch I got passed by the guy who got me in the 32 kick but that was ok because I was having a blast and I knew that he must have been flying. I ended up 4th with a 4:27 so a 63 last lap. Both of the guys leading our pack ended up with 4:28s which rocks. Cooled down a mile on the turf with them and watched the 4x4s where our guys did work and got 2nd. S/0 to them for all running 52s after some nice 800 PRs and S/0 to Ben for his mile PR and nasty kick.

Warmed up 2 miles. Workout was 1x1200m w/4:30 rest, 2x800 w/3:30 rest, 4x400m w/2:30 rest. 1200 was 3:29, 800s were both 2:14, and 400s were 66, 65, 67, 64. The pacing on the 1200 and 800s felt very manageable (for this weekend). Cooled down 2.25 to get to 7.

KU Relays today! We got to the track around 10:30 and my race was at 1:10. At 12:15 I went down and checked in. I warmed up for 1.5 instead of 2 because I wanted to be sure I was ready to go on time. Did drills on the warmup track and switched into my spikes.

Got out in the middle of the pack but picked my way through. Came through the first lap in 73 and first 800 in 2:29. After we saw that we started picking it up. 68 for the next lap and 4:49/4:50 for the first mile. A group of 5 of us started to break away after the fifth lap. Coming through the 6th lap I was in 3rd and with 600 to go there was a move made by the eventual winner where he slightly cut me off on the inside... no big deal though as he had been getting his heels clipped most of the race. At the same time another guy moved around us and caught up to the leader. I ran a 63 last lap to finish 4th in 9:25.12, making my splits 4:50 and 4:35. The race felt awesome and it was a blast! Cooled down for .5 because I had the DMR in a little more than an hour and I wanted to get into the shade.

The DMR didn't go so well... I guess I wasn't recovered enough from the 32 and I ended up splitting a 4:40. It also had gotten pretty hot outside since the 32 so that didn't help. We ended up getting 9th so we still got medals though. Cooled down for 2 on the soccer field and watched the other races.

KU Relays 1600 today... I was feeling good but also nervous because of how I did in the DMR yesterday. Warmed up for 2 miles and got ready. As the gun went off my entire field took off and I died. It was brutal. Afterwards I couldn't cool down because our team dipped out as soon as I got back to our area in the stands. However, we went swimming that night and played some pool volleyball so I got stretched out from that.

4 miles of easy, easy running with Ben and Pierce. I went to the doctor today and found out that I have had acute bronchitis for a few weeks- which I thought was just a cough caused by my allergies. I'm now on antibiotics.

2 miles of warmup. Workout was 2x1200m relaxed, 2x300m, 4x200m. 1200s were both 2:29, 300s were 48, 46, and 200s were 29, 29, 29, 28. I was happy with the 1200s because I thought I was going a lot slower than what I was. Hopefully I can hold that pace for 3200m here in a few weeks. I feel pretty recovered. 2 miles of cooldown.

Shawnee Heights meet today. We showed up and it was sprinkling. We warmed up for a mile and changed into our spikes. I was leading off. As I toed the line I looked around and saw that there were only three other teams, with one of them being our B-team. Anyways, the gun went off and I moved into first. I wasn't quite sure of the pace I was running because there wasn't anyone around me, I didn't have a watch, and I haven't ran and 8 in forever. I came around the 300 and heard 46 so I pushed a little and came through 400 in 61. The next 200m consisted of rain bombarding my eyes and heavy wind pushing me back. On the curve I pushed a little and then kicked it in. 2:04 was my split but I know I can do a lot better. We ended up winning with a 8:26 and set the meet record by 29 seconds. I cooled down for 1.37 and watched the mile before the meet got cancelled. When we got back to the school the sun came out... The Long-D crew then went back to Pierce's and had a smash bros tourney.
