AM: 3 miles to loosen up. Feeling good!

PM: Warm up 1.5. I didn't even notice this until we were about to go, that we were running a true mile and not just a 1600, I thought was cool. First lap, or 407 meters whatever, was 67ish. There was this one kid who was way behind the entire time. If you take him out, I was in last most of the race. I was just cruising at the back of the pack. Middle laps were good. With 100 meters to go my legs started to feel like lead so I just looked up to the sky, grunted, and gave it everything I had. I ended up out leaning Taylor Dillan from WX. That made he happy cuz he ran a 4:22 at pine view, so not his greatest race but I'll take a win whenever I can. My last lap was a 62.something. I finished 9th out the 11 runners in the race, 4:25 for the full mile. Sarah! took 2 second off her mile time for the 1600 and i think i've heard that before so I'll do that. 4:23 for a 1600 which qualifies me for state. Good overall weekend racing with the fastest people in the nation. So grateful for the opportunity. Driving back to Utah tomorrow then I'll be back on the streets of Lehi. I miss lehi, i'm gonna miss the cali weather tho. 

Shout out to Sean for running a 9:32 3200! Thomas running a 4:32 in the Rising Stars Mile! Paul Ryan for getting a wicked fast time in the 3200, 9:02! Really everybody, there were a ton of Nation Leading times and marks, and Arcadia records set this weekend.
