Today is the day before Plainfield, and Cole Josh Jonah Brandon Lucas and I all ran 4 miles at a very slow pace to avoid soreness. We ran down Waukegan but turned left on westgate and ended up doing JWallk, Josh and Jonah house course. Then we did strides in upper X because of the cold. The heat sheet came out, and I’m in a heat with Cole Lucas Alex and Charlie, and one guy who’s seeded 4:58. It’s gonna be competitive and I’m just gonna get out smart and push the last 800 as hard as I can. I can see myself getting last for Deerfield very easily if I don’t focus, but if I use my mental toughness tomorrow it could also go very well for me. Gonna recover a lot today and try to get a ton of sleep.
