11 easy miles with varsity guys. I told chase to only do the gully because he was still  a little sick and he's not in shape right now. Today was pretty fun, hopefully tomorrow is a track workout! My ankle felt pretty good, it was a little painful at some points but that's good, my muscles in my ankle need to relearn all the movements. I've been doing calf and ankle exercises to help my ankle get stronger, I think it's helping, more ice of course. Well as I've learned throughout all of high school, its not a real season if I don't get an injury haha. I'm getting new spikes and trainers tonight!

Warmed up a little over a mile and conutinued to 10x400m at 75-80 pace. I ran 77, 77, 74, 75, 75, 76, 74, 75, 75, 72. So I averaged 75. I went a little fast on the last one, I was just happy, excited for the season, and feelin good so I let myself speed up. The rest wa about 40 seconds of walking/jogging. It was a pretty easy workout but I felt really good and had a lot of fun, I'm feeling a lot more confident  and energized going into the season! I cooled down a little over 2 miles with the team, and them did 2 miles on my own because I had a little extra time before I needed to go. Good workout!

Out of all the first days of school I've ever had, this has by far been the worst, and I've had some pretty horrible first days of school. I'm feeling really crappy, I was looking forward to the meet tomorrow a lot but I don't know if it's happening. I went for a run a while back when I got home from my asthma doctor appointment and it felt weird, I need new shoes. Well school is back.

I had to line up in row 2 and so I got boxed in at around 150th place. It took me a long time to weave my way through to catch up with read and some other guys, and it took me half the race to get back to right behind Davis. I just stayed there for the rest of the race, not feeling good but I could have run harder. I also kicked too late, I really should have gone when my coach told me to but I waited. I still managed to outkick a few guys from rival schools in the last 100 meters. I need to do a lot better, I am going to run in the low 10 minute range at grass relays. Hopefully I get first leg so I can race with Adam Jensen! I meant to go on a 4 mile run tonight but I had 5 pages of AP lit to do and I didn't finish until 10:30.

Easy 70 minute run plus 6 striders. Felt good, we went to corner canyon and checked their track and indoor track out, huge school! Like 8 gyms! Tomorrow is 4x1000m on the track. I will be there along with cubby and Davis!

Easy two mile warm up and the a good track workout. I did 2x1000mthen 2x800m and finished with a max effort 400m. I ran 3:17, 3:14, 2:30, 2:28, on the 400m I used Brayden's advice and went out slower, but too slow. The last 250 meters were just like my kick would be in a real race though, I ran 62 seconds but could have quite a bit faster if the first 150 meters weren't so easy. It wasn't too hard of a track workout, I felt good and strong today. The pace felt good. I liked this workout, looking forward to more track workouts! 4 more miles tonight.

Later- nice bike workout, my resting heart rate is low 40s bpm, I found out a while ago at the doctors, I want to get down below 40!
