Another speed workout today. 4x400's at mile pace with 2 minutes rest in between. I hit 68, 67, 66, 66. Then 6x200's at 800 pace with 1 minute rest. I hit about 31 every time. Then 4x100 all out with 30 seconds rest. This week has been very hard. Almost a pr in the mile on Tuesday and then 3 days of speed in a row after that. I didn't have that much of a problem with this workout when we did it last year, but today I just felt so tired. This week has taken a toll on my body. (Jamie did say she modified it, so maybe she cut some rest or something, and it was a lot faster for sure cuz our goal paces are way different) Hahah after the last 100 my lungs felt like they were gonna collapse. But if I wanna run some crazy fast times in May I gotta be putting in some hard workouts, not all right now but you get what I mean. We finished up with 5 miles and the last 2 miles I had recovered and I felt pretty good. Then I went and benched with Strrt and did some core.

Then Stewart found a basketball and we wanted to play, but it was flat. Then I remembered Brady kept a ball in his locker and I knew the combo. So I grabbed the ball and Me, Stewart, and Michael played 21 for a good half hour. I'm gonna call this cardio and stuff cuz I was really working hard. They don't call me Connor BALLER for no reason, I was hitting jumpers like no tomorrow. I should change my Twitter name to LBJ.

10 miles tomorrow in the morning then I'm off to sweethearts! I have some shot blocks I'll take cuz imma get hecka turnt. I'm way excited for the distance challenge in a week, it's gonna be so fun! I don't think we are gonna run the 4x800 at simplot :( I'll still run but just not the 4x8. Speaking of the 4x8 if you haven't heard yet, my boys from Davis ran a U.S. #1 4x800 time of 7:49.59!!!!!! They ran at the new balance indoor meet in Idaho tonight. Holy cow is that fast or what! (And I thought our 8:21 was fast) shout out to them for always being good guys, they aren't cocky they just go out and work super hard.

Matt's been killing lately, hope he continues to kill it and kisses his date @TarynRoyall tomorrow night! I see you Matt ;)
