AM-2.1 mile shakeout.

PM-Warm up, strides, then we raced. They put us in positions randomly. This led to me being on the back line. Honestly, a four lane track with twenty people is already pretty packed, but the start is the worst. Kramer let me switch him spots so I could be in the front line. I was surprisingly more nervous than I've been for a race in a long time, but the nerves settled quickly. We started, I got out well, Talem paced me for the first 4 laps (5 laps to the mile on our track). I felt pretty good, but could tell we were slowing after the second lap, so I told him to speed up. After he dropped, I ran a quick lap(50), and then stayed consistent the rest of the way. My goal was 8:00 to 8:05 if things weren't feeling great, and under 8:00 if I was doing well. With 800m to go, I saw I needed to run a 2:08 for the last 800m to hit 8:00, so I knew I was on pace. I didn't speed up that much, but maintained well and finished at 7:58. Afterward, my throat burned from the air in the facility. While I do like our facilities, the air can burn your nose and throat sometimes. Just over a 10 mile cool down after. The team killed it today, which was really impressive to see.

AM-6.75 miles picking up people throughout. We started pretty slow, and someone passing us started talking to us. His name is Zack, he just started running a few months ago and has run a 68 minute half marathon. After Brady Early, a former teammate, ran into us after we talked about how we were surprised we never saw him on our runs.

PM-4 miles. 3.2 warm up, then strides, 400m at goal pace (too fast...60... I messed up again), and then 200m at 30.

AM-5.2 with Clayson and a friend whose dad served as a missionary companion with Coach Eyestone.

PM-9.2. Did an 800, 400, 400, 200, 200 at 2:07, 61, 60, 27, 27, with 400, jog after everything other than the 200s which had a 200m jog. I was not having a great day with pacing, and ran everything a bit too quick. Goals were 2:10, 62, 62, 29, 29. I felt fine though.

AM-5.2 easy miles of grass loops.

PM-Michigan today. Splits were 4:22, 4:56(grass), 3:15, 4:50(grass), 2:05, 4:50(grass), 59, 4:44(grass). Felt great on the track for the first few, but after that I knew I had gone out too quick. Grass didn't feel as tempo-like as it should, which probably means I went too hard on the track.

AM-12.5 miles total. 4.25 warm up, 2x(mile, 1200, 800) with equal recovery at K park. It was pretty slick. Splits were approximate because it wasn't wheeled and my watch's battery is still dead. I just went off feel, but because it was slippery, it was pretty slow. 5:00, 3:40, 2:18, 4:45 (sun started coming out), 3:34, and 2:20. Ran on my own for all the reps until the last 800.

PM-5.7 miles.

AM-4.4 mile warm up, 5 miles at 24:47, and just over a 3 mile cool down. Tempo today. So, my watch battery died, and I left my charger in Smithfield, so I just went with the guys for the first few. They told me we hit 5:00 for the first mile, which I would've been fine with at the slowest, but it was really 5:08. After that, I sped up. Honestly, there's a lot this time can work on, and one of the things I think is tempo runs.

PM-6.4 miles
