Coach told us to do an easy 2-3 mile run, so naturally, we did a fast 4 and a half mile run. the average pace was about 7:00, so I guess it's not that bad, but still a lot quicker than I would have liked the day before a meet. 2x400 when we got back, paced for 200, than finished the last 200.

This was a fun one. It felt really fast, and I felt really good about it the whole time. I ran in third for most of the race, than worked my way to first in beginning of the third lap. Held that for about a lap, then dropped into a close second at the beginning of lap four. I stayed right on his tail, planning to pass in the last 100 or so, but when we got there, his kick was just a bit better than mine. Then in the last 10 feet I got passed by some guy from maple mountain, so third instead of first. The guy who won only did so by less than 2 seconds, so it was really close though.

 

The 3200 was a joke. There wasn't much time after the mile before the 32, so my legs were still dead when I setepped onto the line. There were a lot of guys running it who hadn't run the mile, and they were fast guys. There was also a large group of dudes who were running it as an interval workout, which was very distracting. I ran a rather slow 10:57, and probably took like 10th

I love doing two hard days in a row. Today was a fartlek-on the track. For long distance it was 800m hard, than 800m easy. For mid-distance it was 400 hard, 400 easy. I think I was the only boy doing the long one. So I ran it alone. My 800 is nothing impressive, splits on the fast section were 2:37, 2:43, 2:38, 2:43. pretty consistent, but not very fast. Did a lap around the school to cool down when I finished.

Another hard one. Ouch. We did 2x400 (67, 71), then 5x200 (30 second average), and 10x100 (14-15 average). Shouldnt have been too hard if it weren't for the fact that we've already done two or three hard workouts this week. My legs are very dead and tired.
