Last 4x800? (this season)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
We went on an (almost) 3 mile run downtown.
I'm running the second leg of the 4x800 at STACs tomorrow. I think this is my sixth or seventh time running the 800 in a relay this season and honestly I hope it's my last. I'm glad Lauren will be there because maybe she can give me some suggestions for the 800. I'd expect to have an idea of how to run an event after doing it seven times in a couple months, but I really don't know what to do with the 800m. I haven't improved much in it much this season and I only beat my pr from last year by a few seconds. One thing I have learned so far is that I probably shouldn't anchor. Every time I've anchored this year I never ran below 2:50 which is really really slow. I think second or maybe third leg is best for me based on my times because I broke my pr when I ran the second leg for the first time this season. I anchored two relays after that and they didn't go well. But then I ran second leg again at the Golden bear invitational and came really close to my pr. I'm with the same relay team as last week (Charlotte, Ingrid, Rotem). I'm hoping to improve by a second or two.
My mom went to the grocery store and bought cereal and now we have about 14 boxes so our cereal situation is much better than yesterday morning.
