1 mile at the hospital on the treadmill as a follow-up appointment. Everything looking good. 6 miles at practice.

20 min core

Speed today. 4x(200m @800 pace, 100m jog, 100m build/kick) 3:30 rest in between sets. Splits were 28,16,27,15,28,17,28,16. I was pretty happy about being able to finish the workout and hit all the paces I needed, but it definitely felt harder than I wanted it to. Breathing got pretty tight towards the end, but it didn't get really bad until after the last one. So I'm glad I was able to hold it off for the most part... finished with 30 min on the bike because my quad got really tight during the workout.

no core. Back and hip tightened up really really bad

1 mile, I definitely went back to bike after .5 miles... My back was really tight and my achilles hurt and I quad was tight and I was just super stressed and no bueno. So I biked for 30 min after that.

No core, back too tight

5 miles, my back only tightened up a little bit so that's a win. Generally I didn't hurt as bad, but I was dead tired. Drained physically and emotionally but made it through 5 miles.

No core, back not allowing it yet.

6 miles at BYU, and we definitely had quite the time catching up to the 2-mile cooldown group... Lol 2 miles of shortcuts and surges trying to catch them. Good times though.

Huge shoutout to Ryan for winning in 9:04 and Zack for 4th with 9:07!!!

I was ambitious in this one. I got out really well and went straight to the lead and through 200 in 27. 400 in 57. Good pacing. 600 I was still in the lead and came through at 1:30, still good pacing. Then... I tried to maintain form but it felt like the last 100 of a 400 where you just die. My form seized up, and that last 200 was a 34 😬. After the race I had one of the worst headaches I've ever had. Threw up twice. Laid down on the grass for a good 45 minutes before I felt good enough to sit up... I guess I just haven't been able to push myself like that for a while because of my breathing, so I guess that's a good thing?... Lol kinda sucked though. That was my fastest time this season, so it's improvement. I'll take it.

Big shoutout to Michael for the big PR and state qualification, 4:21!
