Tiger Trials today. I got there in the morning and ran the mile. First lap was 66, then came through 2:14 I believe, the 3:23, then finished in 4:29. Felt pretty solid today actually. They say mono takes 6-8 weeks to recover from, and I think I'm finally there. Felt good today, and I think I can take a shot at my PR next week at BYU. I've never actually run faster than 4:29 outdoors and I've run it three times haha. Anyways cooled down with Joe Benson and my team then headed home and took a nap.
Came back in the afternoon and warmed up with Will for the 800. I was in the slow heat and was lined up in the second alley. Gun went off and I went out hard and got into third or fourth coming around the turn. It didn't feel too fast and we came around the 300 mark I made a move to get out of the box I was in. First lap was a 60-61 which was much slower than I wanted so I took the lead and surged. Really pushed on the backstretch, then looked behind and saw I had a pretty good gap and ran it in for the win in 2:01. Big PR since I never run the 800 and I felt good. I think I could go for that 1:58 school record right now cuz I didn't feel too bad at the end of it, we came through pretty slow, I ran the last 400 completely alone, and I negative split. I'll go for it at region I think. Afterwards cooled down with AF, Timp, Lehi, and a couple Orem dudes. Solid race. Later went and snuck into Bingham's prom with my girlfriend and partied hard. Long exhausting day.
