Y'all can be super proud of me because I ran 2.5 miles today and my foot didn't hurt. Sorry I haven't been on the blog, I've been on the bikes working my butt off, I promise.

Anyway, I warmed up a mile on the turf just to feel things out. It felt so good. We had speed today, 12x400m. The first 4 at 5k pace, second 4 at 2-mile pace, and last 4 at mile pace, with the last one being all out. Because of not wanting to push my foot too hard, I did the first 2 sets on the bike next to the track. Then came the last set.

The times I hit for the last set were 65, 65, 67, and 59. The first one my form felt a little weird because I've been on the bikes, but after that it got better and better. My form honestly felt better then it ever has, and apparently it was noticeable because Coach G noticed and told me my form was phenominal #perfectformclub. It feels so amazing to be running, and I'm going to make sure to listen to my body this week so I don't hurt myself before region.

We warmed up 1 mile of the turf, and my foot still felt good. Then I did 1 mile of speed changes and a half mile cool down. Then I finished the rest on the bikes. I'm so glad to be running again!

Shout out to Connor because he visited UVU the last couple days, so that's sick!

We had region today, and let me tell ya, it was a great thing. We warmed up a mile, did our drills in the starting area, and got our box. The boxes were sick because everyone could fit on the front line.

So the race started, and today was different than anything else previously. I was relaxed, strong, and insanely competitive the first mile. 4:52, came through in 3rd place. Then the second mile happened, and I began to slip mentally. 5:15, with a 10:07 2-mile split, also happening to be my new 2-mile PR. The last mile was 5:33, and I had a decent kick the last .12.

All in all today was a solid step in the right direction with a new 5k PR by 17 seconds, 16:10. Here's what I'm going to do next time. I'm still going to go out at whatever pace feels good for the day. At that point, I'm going to lock in my position and not let anybody pass me. Period. Then the last mile I'm going to move up and finish strong. The biggest thing I can do to get better is be more competitive the whole time. The first mile I was very very competitive, but after the first 1.75 miles, I wasn't near as competitive.

Shout out to everyone who came to watch the race today, and to Coach Jamie for being awesome
