ok week

wow i havent posted in a while it doesnt seem that long. so lets see states was fair not good not bad. no real notable prs we really had our best meet at counties and then fell off a little. however counties was very good so ill def take that.

For me this week has been ok. my knee is about the same(im icing it right now yay) i did 5.5 with i cant remember on sunday, then 6 with anna on monday,took off tuesday and yesterday 6 with TT yesterday. then today ran 3.5 w merritt and then did 6 300s on turf. they were ok all between 1:05 and 1:08 which is fair they werent hard but they werent easy haha. well see how the knee feels after it felt no differetn at 6 min pace or a little under than it does at 7-8 min pace. Also my feet have been a little sore i really need new shoes lol.

Also i got a blister at graduation from my dumb shoes i might not wear thos any more lol they are too stiff. graduation was good luckily i  will see many of those people more otherwise i would have been depressed.

westminster

wow 2 posts in one day. michael ran at westminster and it wasnt that good he ran like 1119 and looked not so good after. obv he was mad but i was able to give him some perspective and possible info i think he might be anemic. he said he felt drained and his breathing was def not great. hopefully he should be good after senior week.

I think I will do the camp hashawha race its june 21. goal is to run well haha.

Now im actually starting to get pissed

Before i was depressed,self loathing and sad and felt terrible for ash. I still have that to look forward to for hopefully not too many months/years but i am really getting aggravated now. The reason is not the moronity of me not reading and understanding the bulletin fully- although im sure i read that rule and didnt process it or forgot which was very very stupid and unforgivable obv.

The reason is the punishment for ENTERING but not competing in 5 events(well sorry entering 4 individual events- obv you can legally enter 5 events if 2 of them are relays- which i dispute because im not the only one who doesnt comprehend the rulebook) is ridiculously over the top horseshit.

The following is a list of things you can do at a meet that are Significantly Less egregious and less penalized than what we did:
Unsporting conduct that is unethical or dishonorable
Disrespectfully addressing an official
Any Flagrant behavior
Intentional contact- ie hitting or shoving someone(not during a race- like fighting)
Taunting
Criticizing or using profanity directed toward an official or competitor

If Ashley had done any of those things during or after the 400 for instance she would have been out of the 400 and the 800 and the results in the high jump and long jump which she had already completed would count and she would have gone on to the state meet. Since she did the unfogivably heinous crime of entering 5 events but only running 4 of them her high school career is terminated.

Of course the rest of these things are so minor compared to what she did that they are barely worthy of penalty at all:
Unacceptable Conduct
Failure to listen to meet official
Using Profanity not directed at someone
Any action which could bring discredit to your school.
Interfering with(shoving,tripping,pushing etc) a competitor

Those might as well not even happen and simply deserve a slap on the wrist and then get back out there for the 4x1.

Run today was fine a nice very easy run with sanborn and Franny! she is home for the weekend.

ugh

So obviously the last few days have been very sucky. mostly i cant wait until sunday but there will be good stuff on friday and saturday as well. i just dont really want to talk to anyone but i will have to obv which is whatever its not that bad i suppose. hopefully itll be at least another 9 years before something like this happens again.

as far as running goes last two days were fairly good. 4 miles w tt yest and 5 miles today i felt fairly good today until the last mile or so. did a breif 60m pickup on the track to see how my knee felt. it has been quite good this week although sore after a bit. a little sore now.

i just reread the first paragraph and it is completely contradictory and nonsense. kind of like the rulebook and also my brain lol.

rainy run

Ran w em at mcd- 1/2 mile wu then mile on track in like 635 she has a test on wednesday and wanted to run a sub 7 mile it felt loong haha. my knee was a bit sore during that. then down to 2 mile mark and back so a short 5 on the day. 10 for week with a - knee was ok tonight.

talked to ash and her parents for like 90 min about the disaster they are being quite cool about it(given how bad it is) and she seems ok- which is the main thing obv.

I wonder if i could start wos in june i mean tempos at 6 min pace or slower prob wtf am i talking about lol well see but start out slow.

Revenge is a dish best served cold

No more pussying around. 5 miles today w anna i was tired but it felt good to be tired. Treat the knee and run.icing now.

Goals:

Rockville 29:00
Late Summer 3200   10:36
Cross Country   sub 17 and sub 1730 at Bull Run

Grr why does my knee feel so good?!?!

Lol thats what i thought as i was walking away from the run today. Obv this is a good thing haha but its just annoying because theres no rhyme or reason to it and now itll prob be sore for 3 days or more hmph. So anyway a good run with TT at mcd just under 5 miles for 5 it would have been about 37:15- felt good. In case you cant tell the running has still been subpar in May but at least to day was good. Counties is coming up on Saturday which is starting to become the total focus haha. More about that later in the week.

Just try to start being consistent with the runs i think im going to push thru a little bit cuz it doesnt seem to matter if i run or not. Also treat it and Sleep!!!

mayday

Its the day in russia when they all declare winter to be over etc and celebrate. Thank god i dont live in russia(or the yukon/alaska etc dont want to be antirussian). Anyway it was very nice and wamr today looks good for the rest of the week as well which is a good thing obv. This week in running has been pretty good. Had a super good run where i felt good etc and it was really pretty on the river rd trail on sunday- 20 min out and back about a min faster on way back as usual. Then yest i had bad sleep of course which is bad so i didnt run before the meet and obv not after. Today was good a short run at franklin w merritt and naomi and olivia at the beginning. i stepped on oscars foot while he was cutting in front of me which was annoying but luckily my foot just went straight back instead of twisting. so itll be fine i mean it was fine and tom it will obv be fine. then at the end i did 3 laps w oscar. 3 miles total btw so a whopping 8 in 3 days lol ugh. at least im 1 for 1 in may

we just had a sprinter meeting because people were being bad yesterday. hopefully it was productive many of them are done in like 10 days anyway.
