BYU indoor Meet. Ran the mile first, the hammys were still sore, and I was a little tired still. I felt like I ran decent, my time put me as the #1 spot of the heat so I went out fast and died a little. Also had a bunch of snot in my throat/mouth that made it harder to breath during those middle laps. Then I cooled down and rolled out my legs for like an hour. They felt even better than before the mile.
I ran the 800 after warming up for another mile, and I felt pretty good. I was again the #1 seed, and my time was 2:21.65, 62 overall and 6th in my heat. I felt like I was slightly more competitive and that my legs still had a little bit left. Today and the last couple days my breathing and heart rate have been slowing me down, not my legs as much, but the legs have later in the race, but the main thing is that as I get 400-1200m into the race I need to get to the point where I can feel relaxed more in my breathing. Maybe I'm just crazy. After cheering for some teamates in the 800, I went out and did a 4 mile run. I was planning on just cooling down, but then I wanted to go explore BYU. I felt way good on my run. I ran past the track, the state championship track, and then up the hill to the MTC. Felt great, up the hill I felt like I was getting the heart rate up. Coming back down I felt like I had to nearly sprint to feel like I was working hard. I just felt pretty darn good. Hopefully that's a sign of good things to come.
