We did a 2 mile warm up and then we did an 800 at 800 race pace. I had to be honest I wasn't sure what the pace should be since I hadn't ran an 800 in so long but I did okay. On the first lap I came across 60 which was not what I wanted but it was ok and on the second lap I came across 59 so I got 1:59 and i'll be honest I didn't feel very tired at all so I knew I could have done much better we then got a thirty minute rest which we cut a bit short because we wanted to do the next thing which was 2x400. Murphy wanted me to hit 58 but since I didn't do as good on the 800 and wasn't as tired as I had hoped I pushed it a bit harder and ran a 57 and then on the last one I picked it up a little more and ran a 55. I felt great throughout that entire workout and wished I would have pushed myself harder in the 800 but I felt good and I guess that worked out great. After we did a mile cool-down and I felt great during and after that as well.

Great workout Kramer.

Here's a tip for you. Don't waste one second of thought on what other people are doing and whether the other guys want to head down to Arizona or not. JUST FOCUS ON YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN TRAINING.

Kramer - that kind of speed during XC season is ridiculous. 1:59 is a good time during track season! Rob is right that you shouldn't worry about what anyone else is doing... but you should also be confident that no one else is running 55 second 400s right now. You've got the closing speed to kick down (or blow away from) anyone in the last half-mile of a race. Be confident in that... trust it!

Kramer, I am extremely jealous of how you can run a sub-2 800. I hurt after hitting a 2:05. Good Luck at state!
