We needed to clear the track today for the workout so Me, Spencer and Eric spent an hour doing that. Then we did 5X1000 and try to hit 3:00. Well after shoveling and ice still on the track I did ok. My Splits were 3:14, 3:14, 3:17, 3:21, 3:17. Later went and ran four miles at the Sports Academy. They were at like 6:45 after being a little sore. Also did weights.

Today was 6 miles at moderate or faster pace. We went around McDonald's and got 3 at Lincoln. Headed back up to MC and something in my stomach did not like me at all. Average pace was 6:21 but without the warm up it would have been 6:10ish.

New shoes today after 500 miles on my other ones. Today was hill repeats up Center street in Providence. 30, 60, 90, 120 with zero rest at the bottom. It's been awhile since my last hill workout and I've got something in my stomach that hasn't liked me the last two days. Then went and did two more miles at Sports Academy even though my gut just hates me. Did a lot of leg and core work on the machines.

I did 4 easy miles to day with Spencer, Eric and Trey.  Went and did 2 easy miles on the treadmill afterwards. Excited for BYU on Saturday

Pre Race with Spencer with BYU on Saturday

Left for BYU at 4:30 so that was rough. This was my first time ever on BYU's campus so I was impressed. When I started the mile I think that I was prepared. I did my first lap in 55 sec(350 meter track). Then I just started to fall behind. I need to stay with people as they go to pass me and just out kick them at the end. I got a 4:48 which is a PR by 2 seconds. For the 3200 I just felt tired. I tried going out a little slower than usuall and picking up my pace during the race. Everyone was flying on the first mile and I was too far behind to catch them. I need to just stay with Spencer as he takes off. I got a 10:25 which was ok but I need to do better.
