Running update

I have been so bad about updating my blogs, but I will update how conference went. I ended up starting off fast in both races to see what would happen. I did ok, definitely not my best races. I got 2nd in the 10k and ran 37:00 and 3rd in the 5k and ran 17:33. This summer I plan on doing some Rice all comers races and switching between the 800, mile and 3k or doing all 3 of them. I also plan on running some road races this summer. Anyways I will start updating things daily, but I always tend to forget. I did my first all comers race last weekend and did them kind of as a workout. I ran the mile in 5:12 and the 3k in 10:12. This summer will also be working on my legspeed hoping to get faster in the mile. Doing easy runs all summer tends to get really boring.

First blog in a while

Hi yall! This is my first blog in a while, I haven't kept up with it like I said I would. :(. I have been pretty busy with school and other stuff. With my running I plan on using all the God given running talent that I have been given and also helping others too.
