Total Distance
10.88

am- easy 3 AC wid plyos afterward. felt greater than ever!

pm- I BROKE 5!!!!!! yeah i was feeling great and i just knew i was breaking 5, the question was if i would qualify. i pushed super hard the first lap at a 1:07(lil' too fast:) and Sage and Scott said that my first 200m was :29 so i was goin way crazy! someone at the start was trying to cut me off so sorry to who that was for elbowing you in the ribs nice and hard. Anyways, my second lap was 1:12 so i slowed down obviously i was tried and then my third lap felt great, i was pushing hard. then came that freakin last lap that always kills me... but it didnt today! i wanted to qualify so bad so i just went crazy with 200 left and got 4:56! Didn't qualify but it feels great to break 5.

We did our workout after and it was 2400 (best ave), 1600 (95%) w/3min rec. So my goal time for the 2400 was 8:15, but i smashed that with a 7:50. then the 1600 was a little slow; goal time 5:30 and i got 5:38ish. then we went to the track and did two 300s all out and i got :48 and :49.
