DONT TREAD ON ME

I ran the 800m for the Distance Medley. My team was Tanner (1200) Gibby (400) me (800) and Scott (1600). Tanner had a good race and brought us up to 4th place, gibby did well and only got beat by one sprinter putting us at 5th, I caught the team that passed us in the 400 but couldnt quite get bryson. I felt strong and It was a really fun race, I gave it to scott who stayed with caden and out kicked him in the last 200m! we got 3rd!

I ran the Hurdles and 2 4x100 teams. Hurdles suck. My first team got 53 and the second got 51... we are not sprinters haha.

I also jogged the open mile with an impresseve time of 7 mins haha but we got to watch coach race and that always fun ;). we cooled down for milage

I hung out with Brecken the whole meet so all in all it was a fun meet.

3 miles in the morning but I had to run all the way back way fast because I had work.

I had an interview with the principal that went well..

6 miles after school, i thought i was going to miss practice but the assembly got over and I made it to practice to tell everyone to go run 6 miles.

After our run we did a little bit of upper body/core and stretched. Coach was talking about how the past is behind us and there is still enough time to reach your goals. I need to get fully commited

3 miles in the morning

2mile warm up right as I got my letter for exec. I ran out to hidden valley and opened it.. I didnt make it onto exec.. I came back and did striders with scott and bryson. 

I got pretty good position and just worked on staying on pace for the first 800m. Scott passed me on the 3rd lap and we both just started catching people. At the last 200m I just let it all out and finished right when the 4:49 changed to 50 so I thought I qualified for BYU. I didn't.. 

2 mile cooldown 

I went home and just slept.

I went down to the meet at about 9:30 and it sounded like everyone had a bad race. 

We warmed up at 11:30 and when we got back the 3rd heat had arleady started. Caden, Swaney, Joe, Josh Thatcher and I all missed our races. Lots of people were mad but I just left and ran the rest of my milage for the day. 

I think we get caught up in the little things and sometimes miss the big things in life. I ALMOST qualified for BYU yesterday. I ALMOST got onto exec. I ALMOST made it on time for our 800m race. But life isnt about ALMOSTS, its about what acctually happens. Most of the things in my life have just been handed to me, like my house, family, education and desire for running. But if you are just handed somthing than you take it for granted. I complain sometimes about my life but im an (arguably) smart, decent looking, christian, white, landowning, literate, male. I shouldnt be complaining about anything. The stuff that means something to me is all what ive had to fight for. What Ive had to work for and work on, like relationships with people, my education, hitting the right times in track and cross country. I have to do every little thing, not just go most of the way or ALMOST give it my all. I have to fight for what I want in life.

This is supposed to be Thursdays post.. I messed it up haha anyway

3 miles in the morning then glenns then hopefully people voted for me and then 4 easy miles and fineshes.
