Always Suicide Pace

Did 6x800 repeats today, nothing too long because I just took the weekend off after state and wanted to get in a quality workout while still eazing into my training schedule until nationals. I ran 2:12, 2:12, 2:11, 2:10, 2:12, and 2:06 for the last one. I felt really strong the whole time, I usually do 8 @ 2:15-2:18 but I guess I was just feeling real fine today! No one else bothered to show up to practice to day besides Stathan Naker. We were up on the track all alone, he was running about 2:30's but it was still nice to have someone up there with me. Stathan Naker is a character, he just started running 2 years ago and he's pretty dang fast considering. His first ever track season he ran 4:44 in the mile and a 2:04 800, not too shabby for a white guy. We have our end of the season cross country banquet tomorrow so all the captains went to Walmart to find some coaches gifts. Nate and I had the brilliant idea of sticking a Beta fish into a blender bottle and giving it to our coach Marc, I hope He likes it!!!!!! We named the fish Franklin. McKenna and BJ were in charge of the other coaches gifts, they got them socks, waterbottles, candy and some other junk that's not as cool as a BETA FISH INSIDE A WATERBOTTLE!!! In the toy aisle of walmart we found some fleshy extention grabbers, and of course BJ immediately proceeded to grab one off the shelf and start groping my tushy with it. I wonder about that kid sometime. 

Today was Halloween, I ate very unhealthy. I consumed multiple jelly filled donuts and candy bars... and I regret nothing, because I had a kick A$$ workout that burnt off all those calories! We did 5XMILE repeats up on the track with 3:30 for rest, my times were 4:28, I have no idea why or how I ran that fast. Second was a 4:41 because I figured I should control myself, and I figured that if I didn't hold back a little bit then I would calapse on the track and most likely get spiked by Davis. Davis wasn't even there, their team just likes to spike me for some reason. let me tell you a story about sophmore year at state, I was seeded third coming into the race with a 4:17, 2 laps in I was sitting pretty in the top pack and guess what? Logan McKay, Stockton Smith, and Josh Ward were all right with me. With 300 meters to go all three of them flew past me but I was still feeling good so I tried to get them in the kick, but they boxed me in so hard and I never really got to use my kick. I still ended up getting a PR of 4:16 but after the race I noticed both of my legs were sopping with blood and I had got spiked 8 times from the Davis guys. Anyway, my third repeat was 4:38, 4th was 4:36, 5th was 4:32. Just to clarify, 4:28, 4:41, 4:38, 4:36, 4:32. I definitely deserved those jelly filled donuts after that. I hope that my blog post has inspired you to run fast... like an angry Kenyan.
