4x400 at two mile pace, 2 mile run at about 7:00 pace. Took it easy today, and probably won't go too hard on the mile tomorrow at spanish fork, I want to hit a good 32 time, I haven't done that this season.

Remember yesterday, when I said I wanted to get a good mark on the 3200? Today I just said screw that. The meet was really informal, more of a workout. You could just show up to any event you wanted. So I showed up to all of them. I competed in every open running event, and also the 4x400. Doing 9 events sucks. 

110m hurdles-21.3

100m-13.72

1600m-4:53

400m-1:00.46

300m hurdles-52.2

800m-2:18

200m-28.54

3200m-12:04

4x400m-4:19.56

I realize that these times are pretty much all garbage, but my legs were totally dead after the mile, which wasn't very fast because it was 5 minutes after the 100 which was 5 minutes after the 110. In spite of these horrible marks, I scored 21 points from the 800, 1600, 3200, and 4x400. It takes skill to score in all four of the longest events on the track. I am really sore, and I am experiencing painful cramps in my legs when I put them in certain positions.

Repeats are great, but this is getting really repetitive. 2x800, 2x400, 2x200, 2x100. After yesterday, I did not have much in me. the eights were at 2:42 and 2:34, the fours were 74 and 71, I didn't take splits on the short ones, it's kind of pointless. Mostly I just wanted to die the whole time, my legs were totally dead after the warm up. It was a rough day.

Easy day. Coach said to get a few miles in, and "enjoy it" so we ran to and played on the park. It's been a while since I did anything like that, and it was nice. Really relaxing.

The whole distance team did an easy run through the neighbourhood, which means I got to run a really relaxed pace. Took it very easy in preparation for the wasatch meet tomorrow, hoping for some good times.

This was really an excellent day. It was the first time I've been able to run the 32 on fresh legs, and it felt great. I ran strategically, I wanted to be careful, and I also wanted to win. Because of strategy, I took a few parts slower than necessary. I think I actually could have ran it a lot faster. With more training, I believe that next time I run this race under favorable conditions, I can go sub-ten.
