Today we raced Hamburg. I won the mile with a 4:29 so I accomplished my goal. I also ran the 2 mile but we just jogged it. I think total for the day with warmups and such I ran about 5 miles. I did pushups and situps at home after the meet.

Today we did 3 down verts at the hill by the heidelberg building. I went 1:36, 1:31 and 1:31. I felt alright but was happy with the times I posted. I dropped them pretty much from the last time we did this workout. I'm racing the mile tomorrow against Hamburg. My goal is to go under 4:30 and qualify for districts. We'll see how it goes.

I raced the 2000 meter steeple chase for the first time today. I think this is my new event. I beat last years race champion and I ran a 6:22.76. I was excited about my time because I felt like I could have gave a lot more. I never had raced it before and I didn't know what to expect. Because of this, I went out conserved and ended up crossing the line in first without really being that tired. It was a really fun race and I really want to race it again now. We ran the 4 by 8 then. We placed 9th and had a pretty terrible day. All of our splits weren't close to what we can do at all and it was overall just a bad race. We'll get them next time though.

Pre race today. We did a couple of 200s to get speed in our legs and then I practiced hurdles for just a little bit so I could be ready for the steeple chase tomorrow morning. We are leaving tonight for Shippensburg and I'm really excited about my race.

Today was a speed day. WE did 2 200's, 2 600's, 1 800, 2 400's and 4 100's. It was an ok day. Pete just had us go at a tempo pace so we could relax and stay fresh for Ship. I ran with McClafferty and David for this workout and we were all very comfortable.

Today we raced Twin Valley. We ran the 800 and I got 4th with a 2:02. I was pretty pumped with that time because I dropped 3 seconds off of my PR. McClafferty was flying today and ran a 1:57. He has gotten really fast and he is going to be a great teammate to run with for the rest of the season. I also ran the 2 mile. I didn't really do it that hard though because it was right after the 800 and I want to save for this weekend's meet at Shippensburg.

Today we did regular pre-race. We are racing against Twin Valley tomorrow and we are all gearing up for the 800. We all want to hit district qualifying times and really crank out our speed. I'm personally shooting for a 2:00 even though my pr is a 2:05. I don't usually run the 800 but I'm really getting excited for this one.

Today we did 18 400's. It was a really tough workout but I maintained a 1:06 pace for them. When we hit number 5 however we tried something different. We started by doing a 400 and then jogged 200 and went straight into the next 400. We did that 10 straight times and it was really hard. I was on the 1:10 for awhile but for the last 3 of the continous ones I dropped it to a 1:07. Then we had 3 left for the entire workout and we did those like we normally do. I went 1:06 again for all of those.

Today we did a really small speed workout. We did 2 200's and 2 800's. We want to save our legs for our workout on Saturday, when we are doing 18 400's. We did the 200's on the 32 and then did the 800's. I ran the first 800 in 2:10 but I really dropped on the second one. I don't know what happened but I just didn't have it.

Today we did a speed workout. We did 20 200's on the 30 second pace. I honestly felt terrible during this workout but I think it was still my best workout so far this season. I think this because I pushed through the pain and was on the 30 pace the entire time. I hit 31 a couple of times but I was still rather consistently on pace. After practice I felt terrible. I went to Pete's house an got a haircut and but he made me eat first to replenish my system.

Today was a pretty tough day. We had to do 16 400's but I felt like I did really well. My first 5 I did continuously with hurdles to practice for the steeple chase. I ran a 2000 meter steeple chase in 6:42 which I felt was pretty good for my first time and only going at like 85 to 90 percent. After that I had to do 11 more 400's. The first 9 of those I was on the 1:05 and 1:06 but the last 2 I went 1:01. I thought it was a great day and I'm really happy with my progress.

Today we raced against Holy Name. The distance kids all did the 4 by 8, the mile, the 800, and the 2 mile. We just went at a tempo pace for each one to get some miles. We probably ran about 6 miles with warm-up and everything too.

Today our race was postponed again so we did a speed workout. We did 2 200's, 2 600's, 2 1000's, and an 800. Nate and I ran together but we felt pretty crappy and it didn't go so well. It was really cold and rainy on top of that. We still managed to get a good workout in though
