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.

So it was super windy and cold out in Canyon View but it was a strong race besides that.  So me and Mitch went out for a warm-up and had a nice chat bout life and then came back and it looked like we missed the race but we were back early.  But before we did that we were over at Artic Circle wid the guys that came to do their workout.  So we start and me and logan go out strong but logan took the lead and didn't give it up. I was feelin that Artic Circle food was gonna come out both of my ends, if ya know what i mean!  So each lap Cam would yell "go for that record!" and thats what got me going along with coach screamin at me to get Logan.  So with 2 laps left i noticed that Logan started slowing down and i tried to speed up but i just wasnt feelin it.  Came in at 11:04.91 but Coach Holt was saying that i would have got a major PR without the wind so I'm excited to hopefully run it @ region. did a mile warm-up and cool-down.

So I get home and i have a tough go with life and all that great stuff and so i take my dog on what i thought was going to be a easy 3.... Well it wasn't an easy 3. I ran around at 6:40-7:00 mile pace and got to the high school and was just mad with life so I jumped on the track and did an all out 400, 200,100 all after each other with some recovery after each and i felt a little better. I'm ready to go out and put my guts on the track with the Kosmin tomorrow.
