Ran 3 miles in the morning.

Did .5 warmup with the team plus drills. Then did the workout I was supposed to do yesterday. Got 2 miles warmup and then 10 really good strides on the hill below the soccer fields. Changed into flats and jogged 200m. Workout was 6x200 and 1x400 all at sub 4 minute mile pace. Went 28, 29, 29, 28, 28, and 28. There was a decent cross wind the last 100meters but nothing super bad. The 400 went well hit 58. Then cooled down until I got 12 for the afternoon.

Got 3 miles in the morning.

Only got 5.5 becuase the rain started coming down like crazy!

Ran 2.5 in the morning as a shakeout. Then another 2 right when I got to the meet. Chilled around and bit and then used the bathroom and anotehr 2 miles warmup and then another .5 in strides and drills. The first race was the mile and went really well. My first 800 was around a 2:10 and then during the last 300 meters I decided to go for it and it paid off! Right after the mile I began to focus on the 3200! Natalie Shields won both events in 2012 and ended up winning athlete of the meet, so I made that my goal. Cooled down/warmed up another 2 miles and got some more strides and drills. Then another mile inside on the track. Right before my race it started raining prettty hard and by the end it was pouring. Ran well, ended up winning, with a 9:34ish but I was so stoked that I got the double! Ended up cooling down 4 miles and taking home the Male Athlete of the Meet award.

It was an amazing meet to finish off an awesome week!!!
