I spent the day at BYU today, Sean and I ended up doing premeet on a stretch of road because we didn't want to tresspass on Provo's track, and BYU's indoor track was being used for women's conference. After the meet it took forever and a half to get home (2 hrs) and Connor and I went to the spring to icebath, but the freaking thing was turned off. There were also dead fish in the spring, so that's cool... we ended up doing it in the creek.

Shoutout to Brinn for qualifying for state in the 200, that one Emily girl who ran a 55 in the 400, and Ryan for qualifying for state in the 2-mile by 7 seconds with 9:29!

I ran the 800 today, and got 2:03. I was originally planning on going sub-2:00, but that didn't happen. I was seated 2nd in my heat, but the 1st guy didn't show up, so I was on the inside. The start was staggered, so after the first 100, everyone collapsed on me and I got tripped up quite a bit, boxed in, and cut off. I ended up in the back on the back stretch just so I could try and go around everyone. I started gaining ground and was forced into lane 3 on the home stretch to try and pass the main group. I was building speed the entire second lap, but didn't shift gears until 75m left. I should have done it earlier. It was a solid race, but I was perfectly capable of going sub-2 had I been more aggresive and more aware of my position in relation to everyone else in my heat. Now I have something to focus on for region!

Shoutout to my boys Connor, Sean, and Thom for all going sub-4:30 in the mile, and Connor for qualifying for state with 4:23!

I'm cutting back the miles a little bit this week in taper for region on Thursday. Today was a good run, my right shin was giving me some issues during the warmup, but was good after that.

Connor and Maddy had sick speed workouts today in preparation for state, 6x800 at 2-mile pace. The rest of team pre and I got to take turns pacing them for these, and they killed it!

Also some random guys came up to Brady and I at the BYU invite and asked if we were on team pre, because they follow us on ol' instagram. So apparently we are getting some traction, so shoutout to those guys for finding us!

I got some solid distance in today, the third mile in particular felt really good, but it was just one of those good runs.

Shoutout to Maddy for shoving a cupcake in Michael's face at the dinner today, that was pretty great!

Not exactly what I was shooting for today in the 800, but that's alright, I'll be doing the mile at jv region, so we'll see how that goes. Shoutout to Maddy for running a blazing anchor leg in the 4x400 and winning it for our team!

I got to run in the rain today, so that was cool. I'm starting to make very slight changes to my form, and I can feel the difference. I went to the physical therapist on Wednesday and got my form analyzed, and apparently every time my left foot hits the ground, my left hip gives a little bit, putting everything out of alignment and making my left foot hit harder, thus the stress fractures. I've been doing hip strengthening exercises and the guy also gave me some tips to lean forward a little bit more, and running just feels easier now. My average pace for today was 6:48, and I feel great. So shoutout to the physical therapist because that was my first completely pain free run in a long while

Today's race was pretty good, I finally broke my plateau of 4:50's, so that's cool! I had to lead the entire time though because it started out pretty slow... But heck, it was a good race! Shoutout to Connor and Sean for getting my splits and helping me keep on pace!

We had a nice slow distance run today, but I ended up stopping at my house and getting a ride back to the school because I went out too far...
