Freshman Year

Joining cross country my freshman year I didn't know what to expect. I came during the summer and did the workouts, I wasn't too serious about them but I didn't screw around either. At the alumni I got 21:51, not that fast but I still made it to Highland. At Highland I got 18:29, I was really suprised I did so well, I know the course is only 2.9 miles, but still. After that I started getting really serious with cross country. After a couple of more meets I made it to varsity. At the beginning of the year I would have never guessed that I would run varsity. At the end of the year I got the outstanding freshman award, I was proud to get it. My PR for this year was 17:52. My first year of cross country was really fun and it motivated me to work hard the next summer for the next season. I also did track, which wasn't nearly as fun as cross country. I only ran the 1600m and the 800 and I pretty much ran the same times for the whole season.

Sophomore Year

Sophomore year for Cross Country went pretty well. We all trained hard during the summer and it really payed off. The season was a bit bumpy for me, I wasn't really getting consistent times. One meet I would run a low 17 and the next a high 17. In the end the season turned out really fun and I hit a really big PR from last year.

Track went pretty well too. We started training and had some meets during the winter. This year I actually ran the 3200m and liked it a lot. I PR'd in pretty much every race that I ran in, it felt good. As I raced this season I felt more controlled and like a much more mature runner, even more than cross country.

Today, since Spencer and Hayden weren't running, we had to do the actual distance workout. We got into groups of three and did a little 200m relay sort of thing. We just went till everyone had run 10x200m. Once we finished me and James went and ran till we got to 6.

Today we went and did hill repeats on cemetery hill. We start at the bottom and run up it and then all the way down the street to the intersection, we did this 6 times. It started hailing when we finished our 4th one and that made it really hard to see. When we finished me and James did Mcdonalds loop and finished with 6.

Today we ran against Fremont and Northridge for our first track meet. It was super cold outside so it was just miserable. The first event I ran was the 1600m. I ended up getting a 5:03, which I'm not happy with, but I'm also not mad about. I just didn't run my race very well, I started out to fast, my first lap was 1:08. My goal for the next meet in a couple of weeks is to get atleast under 5 minutes. I'm going to try to have my splits be 1:12, 1:15, 1:15, and then the last lap as fast as I can. Next I ran the 800m just because I had to do another event. I don't remember my time but it wasn't very good. Then I went and ran a cooldown.

Today was "FUN DAY FRIDAY" where everyone just goes and plays games and doesn't workout, me and James, however, did go and workout. We went and ran Hollow Road at a pretty decent pace. The first 1.5 miles we were going a 6:45 and the next 2.5 miles along Hollow Road we ran a 6:15-6:30. The next 1.5 miles we ran a 6:45 again and the last 1.5 miles we ran at 7:15 and finished on the track with some stride outs. That is probably the fastest that I've ran in a long time and it felt good to go fast. I've made it a goal to try and go harder on days where we have hard workouts.
