I have been running since fifth grade. My favorite professional runners are David Rudisha and Evan Jager. My favorite high school runner is Chris Watson because he periodically reads this blog and should definitely make one.

Today was a morning practice, but it wasn't that bad. 5x1k track repeats around race pace with 1 minute rest in between. I wore my new trainers that I haven't finished breaking in, so my lower legs were a little more strained than I would have liked to maintain effective stride. Nevertheless, I averaged 3:10. I am encouraged by this because this was my usual pace for postseason workouts during evening practices and with much larger rest. There will be a race on Thursday of 2 miles. I ran the course in 9:56 last year and would be very pleased if I could beat that time. 6 buildups in the spikes that I will be racing the course in after practice. Same ones I used last year.

Ran 5 miles towards Bridle Trails and then turned around. I was angry so I ran very fast, which wasn't a good idea. I didn't have my watch but I know it's 5 because I've run it with a watch before. It was definitely faster than I've ever gone on a mileage run.

First race back was a success, I would say, although maybe a little poorly executed. I did not feel as much resistance from my stomach as I usually do for my racing. Today everybody took it out fast, with JR leading the pack for almost 800 meters. Then the three Issaquah fast kids took the lead. Kennan took the lead and started surging as we approached a series of sharp turns. I went with him and we began to move away from the pack. I got right up next to him ~50m before the mile mark on a brief straightaway. I felt really good and thought I could negative split, but moderate amounts of tiredness seemed to pop out of nowhere just before the mile mark. I think we went through 4:58-ish. Kennan continued at an elevated pace. I stayed with him for another 1.5 minutes or so. I think if I pushed my limits I would have been able to hold with him for longer, but I felt like keeping things comfortable and within my control so I let him gap me with the hopes of maybe coming back. This was a mistake. For the rest of the race I kept a solid turnover and finished with a powerful kick, but Kennan got 8 seconds on me and I was on my own for most of the second mile. I feel good about the race because I was just about as fast as last year, and last year I stayed the same speed the entire season, whereas I know I will progress if healthy this season due to ample sleep and being fairly undertrained coming out of the Summer.

Today I ran 6.5 miles on the Blueberry Trail by myself. Very stiff legs. Turns out we beat every team yesterday except for Issaquah. Pretty good provided we were missing out #2 and #4 from the time trial. Also almost all of the freshmen cut the course and ran 1.4 miles. It was kind of funny watching Tom run sub-8, though. Long run tomorrow.

9 miles with the crew today to Mercer Island and back. Carter and Matthew went half a mile farther down before turning around so they were only there for the first half. Ran with Chris Watson, Chris Taves, Will, and Sebastian, who is coming back now after a series of absences due to soccer.
