Out of difficulties grow miracles

AM- Nice run and was feeling tired. fast

PM- 1000's workout today and i was pretty tired. My times were 4:03, 4:12 4:10 4:10, 4:15, and 4:10. was kind of all over the place  but i was just super tired and didn't have any energy afterwards. 

AM easy 3 miler once again and again it wasnt that easy. Hard time keeping up today and I don't know why, shins were just sore I guess.

PM-easy 7 miler and yet once again not easy at all, legs were super tired not really sore just no energy to move them. Iced shins and stretched calfs after.

AM- no morning rub for me I had drivers ed 

PM- minuters today and I got ten. Felt just way tired and I don't think ive gotten enough sleep for the past couple days will try going to bed earlier.

AM- no morning run again 

PM-7 mile run overall and with old man hills. The hills were 800 and since I was tired and worn out on my way there so i was surprised when I was running up with matt and reed. I feel that I did extremely well and my times were basically 2:55 (sorry cameron but I think I beat you:) excited for suu and I hope I can do good. Calfs a little tight nothing serious though.

AM- got to run morning run again but was about ten minutes late. They were running barefoot on the baseball field. When I started they had already ran to so I ran one and then did the last two miles on my own.

PM - 5 miles sandbergs with 4×200's felt good all through.

Morning I woke up at 6:10 and got ready to go to the race. Was pretty tired and there was a tight spot on my calf, which worried me. Left for race at 6:30ish.

RACE - lined up for about 20 minutes and when the gun finally went off I started at a fast pace maybe a little to fast, not sure. I soon worked my way up to the front and was leading the race with dave for about two miles. On the second lap desert hills guys were starting to pass us and then dave stuck with them and I fell back a little bit. It stayed like that until the third lap and dave fell behind and I started to catch some of desert hills. I then heard someone yell jakes name right after mine and I was thinking I won't let him beat me and I sped up. I was in 6 when I passed dave and then passed 2 desert hills guys and finished 4th overall and first for pine view. I was super excited and way proud of my self and I got a time of 17:57.

I learned a couple things about racing today and one thing is that I don't know how to pace myself in the lead, this is the first time ive ever been in first for even a little bit and it is super different but it was all worth it.
