Vital Trek of Life

The team had the NCAA West Regional Meet on Friday, and they ran great! They placed 4th in a tough region, and qualified for nationals! Super exciting, to be on a team training with guys that can make it that far in the post season.

I woke up this morning at like 10:30! Haven’t slept in that late in a very long time, maybe even years! I then made a breakfast/brunch, of oatmeal, toast, and cereal. I then headed to practice, which was at 1 today. The workout me and all the guys who didn’t race did was 4×1200. It was cutting down from 3:44 down to 3:35. We then finished the run out, getting a total of 12 miles for the day. This was on the cross country course, and it was muddy after a night full of rain and snow, so we slipped around a tiny bit.

Post practice, the coaches brought us chocolate milk and some snacks, then we went to watch the selection show for NCAA nationals. They brought us pizza there, and I even got my own gluten free pizza! We are blessed to have very considerate, generous, and kind coaches.

After this, I worked on some Econ homework, and kinda just chilled. Later in the night, I went and played poker with some of my teammates (no real money). I unfortunately didn’t have a great night, and I ended up getting out, but it was a lot of fun! Overall, a good, solid but chill day.
