Today we did the Miracle Mile at cross country. I was in the JV race. My time wasn't as good as it could've been because I was just trying to win so I kept behind Cole until with about 100 meters left I blew past him and beat him by four seconds. I was feeling pretty comfortable the whole race so I bet if I had gone all out I could have gotten around 5 minutes flat.

 everybody is kind of taking this week off so I was the only one at practice today. I just did the Art Dye run, so an easy four miles. Too pumped for Root Beer Mile tomorrow.

Today we did the root beer mile. After they shoot the gun off you gulp down a can of root beer as fast as you can. You then run a lap. Then you repeat three times. I was going to try to stay up with the leaders and try to win, but Mahonri and Walton took it out to fast and I couldn't drink fast enough. Mahonri ended up winning in 7:20 which I'm pretty sure is a new record. I wound up battling Adam for third place. We were neck and neck the first three laps but I outdrank him on the last lap and got a good 100m lead before he was done drinking. My final time was 8:17. Once I got done, I went straight over to the trash can and puked my guts out.

Tonight I wasn't feeling to good so I just did the dam run. I could feel the Root Beer mile the whole way so I took it pretty easy going at 7:30 mile pace. I've got to get back into my training for Foot Locker.

Today I showed up to practice but nobody was there (I think all the Varsity guys are taking a week off) so I went by myself. It was cold so I was really glad I decided to wear my tights and running jacket. I ran down past AFHS and through some neighborhoods until I figured I should head back. The original run was supposed to be 8.5 miles but I took a wrong turn so it ended up being 9.

Went on an extended backwards mountain run today. felt pretty good until with a couple of miles left the sun went down and it got really cold. I got kind of confused in a couple spots along the run because the whole trail looks different now that the leaves fell off, but I eventually found my way.

I was planning on going on a longer run today like more around eleven or twelve miles but after doing yardwork all day my mom came home and said I only had 50 minutes to run before we were going to some family thing. I ended up just running to Legacy Park and back. I took the first three miles fast but once I got there my stomach didn't feel good so I took it easier for two miles heading back and then took the last mile really fast home.
