<br />
sat track meet. i consider it the state meet since theres 20 teams at this thing. it was a good day for us. my boys got 2nd and my girls got 4th, the best ever for both. the kid was the mvp of the meet (800-1st, 200-3rd, long jump-2nd, triple jump-tied for 2nd). the 800 was unbelievable. he ran 211.8 and won by 6 sec. it was a huge relief for me and probly for him too because hes wanted to win it since he was in 5th grade. he put in tons of extra work the last 3 years and he really deserved it.<br />

thurs track meet didn't get home til 8. the kid won the 800 in 221, won the long jump 17-4, ran 62 in the 4x4, and 13.0 in the 100. i could not beat any of those right now.<br />
<br />
fri 6 miles track workout with sontag. it was tough to leave rocko behind but we had to do it. we didn't want to get too crazy the first time on the track this year, so we did 400s with 400 jog rest. i did 6x400 81 81 79 78 76 74. i didn't feel smooth at all but my legs felt fine with the pace. kind of weird to have both at the same time. i couldve kept going but i used my head for once and didnt push it. i want to be able to walk tomorrow. sontag was more badass than me. he wanted to do 8x400 under 90. he did way better than that 82 84 86 89 88 86 84 82. <br />

mon did something weird to my knee at practice. it kept getting tighter at night. hope i can still run the turkey trot at school tomorrow. i have to feel good cuz im racing against the kid. if im off, i will lose. <br />
<br />
tues knee was really sore and tight when i woke up. i wasn't sure if id be able to run. i took 8 advil and put a ton of icy hot on it. when i was warming up i still felt tight but it didn't hurt much. it got loose once the race started. the kid ran right next to me and responed to even the slightest pace increases. at halfway he was still right there and seemed fine. i couldn't go any faster. i knew i had to get a lead at some point cuz theres no way i could outkick him. i figured my last chance was to hammer the short, steep hill (took about 15 sec) at about 3/4 of mile. i got to the top and he was still there. coming down the other side i was able to pull away. we ran the 1.2 mile course in 606 and 613. i don't think there was any point i could've gone faster. the kid ran great. i wanted him to beat me, but i know he'd never want me to let him win. it was good be able give my best effort (thanks advil) cuz the kid deserved a shot to beat me when i felt good. id have felt like i let him down if i was too sore to run hard. tomorrow im sure theres going to be more than enough sore to go around.<br />
<br />
weds planet fitness. legs are killer sore. im going to need a few days off.<br />
