Train insane or remain the same

7.75 miles with Thom towards AF high. Had little kid track and got a lot of running in from six games of sharks and minnows. JV region is tomorrow and I'm so hyped. Everybody come it's gonna be sick. 

Some 200's. JV region was cool. 

4 miles to Strrts and back 

Pre meet 

State. Seems like just yesterday it was junior year state track. Last 1600 for a while. Warmed up 1.8. Race got underway and I got out good. Good position first lap. Then second lap I just didn't increase the pace so I slowed down a lot and ran a really average second lap. Went out the back door a lot. Third lap was better. Happy with the last lap. Good kick, moved up a few spots. Time was 4:21.03 just barely missed out on the 4:20's. Was ranked 14th, got 13th. Fun fact of the day: I ran the same time as Jaiden Melendrez, shout out to him for winning state. This year I didn't have a 1600 race come all the way together but it's whatevs and I just gotta go kill my other races. I know I'm more than two seconds better than last year. 

I'm really excited for the 32 tomorrow it's gonna be awesome. Got my toe kicked and it hurt pretty bad so we'll see how it feels in the morning. 4 mile cool down with BJ on the sick trail from byu camp. Chilled, hung with PV, watched some races. 

The 3200 meter was a crazy experience. It was raining like last year. Went out and stood under the tarp before the start. I'm happy with the race. I never faded. I moved up as the race went on but I could have moved up more or start out faster and stayed with the guys farther up. My laps were very consistent. 9th place aint bad tho. Time was slow cuz the conditions, wish it had been faster. 

Cool down. Went home and came back for the 800. Just had fun with it. No stress. Got our good so I got to run in lane one most of the way. I think I was in fourth for a while and then I got passed on the turn. Came thru in fifth and 2:01 which is pretty good for me already racing 3 miles. Weird my last race was an 800 which I don't do often. 

Holy crap it's all over. High school running was the best thing ever. I never thought in a million years it would mean this much to me when I was done. I made countless memories that I will look back on. I was so blessed these last few years. From my parents number one. They have done so much for me in coming to every single one of my races, buying me every pair of shoes and wanting so badly for me to do my best and wanting the best for me. Never could have done it without them. My coaches. I had the opportunity to have two great coaches in my career when some only get one or zero. They were so dedicated to their athletes in figuring out the best training plans and stuff, I was able to really go for my full potential because of their awesome coaching. First two years of xc and track there wasn't much talent around including me but then these last two years our team was killer and I never would have gotten close to where I am without those guys. I'm gonna miss them and working hard till we were dead with those guys. Thank you to everybody else, all the friends from different schools. I have been lucky enough to make friends from schools all around and I love the friendship that runners have towards each other. Summer is gonna be sick. I have a couple 10k's planned out. We are doing another Connor Baller Classic, a 5k race on the track at night under the lights. Rn we're thinking June 10th. I'll keep you updated its gonna be sick, everyone who wants to come is invited. Baller out
