PM- Workout on the track. We did 8x1000's at 3:03-2:58 and I was in that window for all of them except one I was 3:04 because I got tripped up passing the girls. I went 2:52 on the last one after I changed my spikes to my Endorphins. 2 mile warmup and cooldown.

PM-Ran 7 out to Lakeside and back with Seth, We were cruising at 7:30ish pace which was pretty easy then when we finished I realized I had to go up to the top of the school to get my car so we ran 1.5 up there and got it then drove down. I did an ice massage after because my achilles was pretty tight. I feel like I will be able to come back this season and I am planning on running either the 1500m or 5000m this week at UNLV with the guys. I feel like I don't have enough speed for the 1500m or enough base for the 5000m so I'm not sure which I would rather do. Speed workout tomorrow.

PM- The workout today was a 5 mile threshold pace at 5:50-6:05 pace with 1 mile warmup and then 600,400,300,200,and 100 at 1:31, 1:01, 0:46, 0:31, 0:15. I hit just about all of the paces and was like 1:03 on the 400. My legs were trashed after the 600m though. We did 1 mile cooldown then cleaned up the branches and twigs around the track. I went and warmed my achilles after and stretched then took an ice bath. I am racing the 5000 and 1500 this weekend and i'm really excited to get back into racing.

Woke up and headed over to the WAC with Logan and Brenden because we were all driving down together to UNLV. I slept for a while in the car but spent most of it just talking with the guys. When we got there we ate at some sandwich shop and then went and ran a couple miles for a shakeout before my race. At about 1.5 out I began to feel my left achilles tightening up so I just stopped running and turned around. I went and talked to Coach Houle and he said to just skip the 5,000m today and just run the 1500m tomorrow. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to run it but oh well, at least I can try and race well tomorrow.

AM-Woke up and went down to the buffet for breakfast with Rush's dad and brother. I got French Toast and fruit for breakfast then went up to our room and packed. We got our stuff together and headed over to the meet. When I got there I got treatment from one of our trainers but she kept getting pre-occupied with other runners whose events weren't until after mine so I was almost late for my race. I warmed up a mile and then put on my spikes and did striders and headed to the line.

RACE- I took off in the first 300m and just got in 3rd place and came through the 300m in 50 seconds, I needed to hit 48 if I wanted to get my goal so I took the lead to speed up the pace. I got the pace back to wear I wanted it but I was already dead from leading into the wind so in the last lap 4 guys flew past me but I managed to catch one of them by the finish.

I finished in 4:14 which converts to roughly 4:31 which is 7 seconds slower than my high school PR in the 1600m. I was really frustrated after my race because my right achilles got really sore in the last 200m so I wasn't able to kick nearly as hard as I wanted to. I am tired of injuries and I just want to be back where I was 5 months ago.

PM- Our Workout today was 18x400 at 71-67. We ran 70's for the first 1/3 of the repeats and then dropped to 68's for the next couple and then ran 67's for the last part of the workout. Coach let us go all out on the last one so I ran a 60 and Brenden ran a 58. I was so beat up so I couldn't go as hard as I wanted.

PM- Warmed up 2 miles with the team then headed to the track for speed work. The workout was 8x1000m with 3 minutes rest at 2:58-3:10. I ended up running 2:58-3:00 for all of them. Afterwards I did a mile and a half cooldown. I showered and then went and stretched and rolled out. I got a massage from one of the trainers followed by an ice bath. I found out that I'm running the 5,000m this weekend. I'll submit a race plan by Wednesday.

PM- Warmed up my legs then did a 10 minute warmup then did idiot drills and striders. The workout was 2 x 600m, 400m, 300m, 200m, and 100m at 4:08 pace. They hurt a lot but I hit all of my times and then did a 30 minute run inside the school because it was raining and hailing and really windy outside.

I talked to Coach Houle and we decided it would be good if I didnt redshirt this year so I decided to run the 5000. I want to run sub 15:20 so I can get a 20 second conversion to put me below 15 minutes. I figure I can run around a 15:12 which is 3 4:52 miles which I think shouldn't be too hard. I have been doing 400's and 1000's faster then that.

Woke up at 9 and pretty much just relaxed until I had to head over to class. I just went to Astronomy and took notes and then headed back to my apartment to get some lunch then head over to the track. I have felt pretty good about today because its my first 5000 on the track. I went and hung out with the team but there was little shade so I was out in the sun all day.

When the girls were running the 100m Seth made the decision to go warmup right then so we went and did the 2 mile loop. When we got back they were running the girls 800m so we still had the 400m hurdles and the 200m and the girls 5000 before we run so we warmed up really early so I tried to keep moving around. I borrowed Jeff's Matumbo's for today to see how they fit so I got new spikes in them. We went and did another mile when it got closer to our race and then headed to the bullpen to get our numbers. I found out that Ryan Waite and Kyle McKenna were running the 5000m but were going to dropout after 3200m and 3600m. I put my spikes on then did idiot drills and striders before heading to the line.

RACE: I took off and got out in third place but then got immediately boxed in by a bunch of Colorado Mesa Kids and a Utah State kid who I couldn't see who it was. I stuck in 3-5th for the next couple laps but decided that there pace was too fast for me because I was stuggling a little bit. I settled into 75's which was too slow but I had no idea how I was supposed to feel so I didn't want to go out way too hard and die. I did this for the next mile and a half then I realized I was going too slow so I picked it up to 73's for the rest of the way. I got caught by a kid from Idaho State but I out kicked him in the last 70.

I ran a 15:24.16 which converts to 15:02.5, and Seth ran a 15:21.06 which converts to 14:59.5. I was really happy with my race but I might not get into Mt. Sac which would really suck but oh well. Seth and I ran a 2 mile cooldown then I headed off to dinner with my parents.
