awesomeness

AM-6.75 Today we went down into hells hole to do a hill workout. We had 4x1minute and 6x30 seconds. The first one we started out real slow. By the end of the one minute ones though we got almost the exact same spot everytime, and i was always close to the front person. The first 30 second ones all the soccer guys took off so i just kinda stayed in the middle. The next few i just tried to stay by casey. The last one i had to really push myself to go fast im usuaally to wimpy to push myself but it felt good! So excited for this year

PM-3 Really tired but decided to go get the miles in. About a half mile in i saw casey, we were wearing the exact same thing....creepy. I ran with him for about 2 miles then came back home, it was a nice easy slow pace maybe a little to slow haha

AM-6 Today we ran 5 with stiders, I felt really sluggish today but it was good to not have a hard run.

PM-3 Just a nice easy run in the afternoon. I felt great the whole time, lifting after was good.

Today i didn't get out till about 1 so it was way hot. I decided i didnt want to run the same boring trail so i went for a trail run. I went to the temple quarry trail by the new airport, I felt really good the whole time other than a giant hill then i felt how you do on most hills crappy. I kinda got lost about a mile in but eventually found my way back on to the trail. I really liked the trail i think we should run it as a team sometime!

AM-10 Well today started out feeling a little tired but slowly as we got into the run felt better. We ran out past middleton towards dixie rock. at about 4 miles we had to stop to use the bathroom but it took byron like a stinking hour....okay maybe only 10 minutes. Then went another mile then flipped. After a mile we started our tempo i felt alright at the beggining not the best just tried to hang on to the pack. After about a half mile into the tempo i started feeling way good and kicked it up a little. I left jason and matt after that and tried to catch casey, i could tell he wasnt having his best day. I caught casey about a half mile before the tempo finished and then finished just ahead of him. This run made me really confident of all the things i can do in cross this season. This whole run i felt strong but not like i was going all out it was great!

 PM-3 I dont know what it is but every single afternoon run i have gotton a sideache that wont go away the whole time hopefully that wont happen wendsday afteroon! Other than that it was good my legs werent sore at all from this morning but i still think i am gonna ice bathe tonight

4 in the morning on the dirt mile was gonna go for an afternooon run but a huge blister on the bottom of my foot popped and i had to walk gingerly on it the rest of the day

AM-6 did 2 miles before going to the grass to do 3 more miles and striders. I was really quite today excited for the race this afternoon

Was kinda nervous for the race did the warm up and was feeling good. At the starting line the gun didnt work so the guy blew the whistle i went out strong and tried to get up by wes and red but some d hills kid hit me in to a garbage can....messed up right. The first half of the race i was far back on the team even though my first mile was 5:58 i moved my way up to 13th on the team i really overthought the first half of the race and the second half i just shut my mind off and raced. My second half was alot faster than my first which shows i can be minutes faster!! Really proud of the guys though they did amazing!! Abel and Nick were beast mode and it was there first race! Also congrats to Josh for breaking 18 i know he really wanted to.

Am-7 Today we went down into hells hole to do one of our last hill workouts! We started out pretty slow cuz we were all pretty tight from the race but gradually got faster. We had 5x1 minute and 7x30 seconds. I was near the front on every single one. I was only able to do about 3 30 second ones before i had to go cuz i had to get my car to my mom. So when i got home I finished it up and did 4 30 second ones on my street which is a pretty nice hill.

Am-10 Ran out on the river trail really nice outside this morning. I really wanted it to rain but sadly it didnt. Ran with alot of the guys running 7 until they flipped then it was just me casey micheal jason and josh we had a fun time, We also saw a snake which could have been poisnious idk we arent snake experts. Todays run felt really easy for me not that much of a struggle when 3 weeks ago on my first 10 miler i thought i was gonna pass out. I am happy for 1000 tommorow i like workouts...strange.

Pm-3

AM-8 Today i had 6x1000 i was feeling really sore and tight during the warm up so i hoped it would come out. The first thousand i felt really good didnt want to take it to fast and die at the end of the workout me abel and braden all finished at the same time with 3:15 The second was 3:14 Then the next was 3:16 on that one i felt my calf start to tighten pretty bad but just pushed through. The next three times were 3:15 3:16 3:18 so all my times were pretty consistent and about 15 seconds faster than my fastest times last year! During the workout i would really fade at the hill i would just stay in the same speed and settle while abel and braden sped up so i would finish a few seconds behind so i need to work on that.

Pm-3 started running at about 4 it was hot but not that hot for st george. Started running really hoping i would see somebody to run with cuz i hate running alone, and then about like a quarter mile in i saw casey so i ran with him but apparently i interuppted the broadcast in his head im sorry haha. There was somewhat of a breeze so that felt really nice. I am really glad i have been doing afternoon runs so i am more accustomed to the heat now that school has started.

Today we did a workout. It was the first one in the heat it was really hot. We had 4x2minute and 5x400. I felt weak this entire workout because i didnt eat enough today. On about the second 400 i got really dizzy probobly from the heat but after a rest i finished the workout. Goal for tommorow drink LOTS more water and eat more.

AM-3 Went to the school at about 545 because i had skit practice at 630

PM-5 4 With striders Felt really really dead today probobly from the hard past three days but my mom bought three bags of ice today so i can ice bath

AM-3

PM-5 We ran 4 with 4x200 at the end. We ran up to green springs my legs felt fine we took it nice and easy. The 200's were good the third one i decided to go hard and focus on driving my knees and arms and i went really fast, but after that one i was super tired.

Well today was race day i was excited to race today. Went for a warm up and felt good, but then we had to wait forever to start so i tightened up alot. My goal going into the race was top 10 i knew i could do it. The race started and i was near the front i may have started of to quick but i was just trying to stay up near the leaders. After the start we got into a more normal place i was in about 8th and stayed that way for about the first mile. That first mile was good for me because in races i usually cant keep my position well. Krenshaw and Dave caught me on the gravel section and i was right behind them after that. Coming out of the dirt road byron told me i was in the top 10 so  i was smiling and trying to keep my postion. At the turnaround i could see a d hills kid behind me so i tried to push up the pace but my legs were dead because they were already tight before the race started. The d hills kid started going into like his finish pace but we still had about 3/4 of a mile i thought he would die off but he didnt. With about a quarter mile left coach told me to try to catch dave and krenshaw i started to sprint towards them but nothing was left so i couldnt. I finished somewhat strong, not my best  time but just as good as a pr last year which is good. So close to my goal it was kinda sad but at least i was close!

AM-3

PM-7 started the workout but didnt drink enough today at all and didnt eat enough. So i only got 4 in and i felt like i was gonna pass out almost did....but didnt

AM-3

PM-7.5 Ran 4 before the time trial then had the time trial. Didnt feel good today felt sick before it started i got a 12:47. I was unhappy with the race but oh well there will be others. Ridge and Paul beat me which surprised me but made me motivated to work harder

AM-3 i have gone to every morning practice i am still on track for my goal!

PM-8 had 8 miles with 5 half mile fartlecks first three felt really easy and controlled. My  last 2 felt hard maybe because it felt like my clothing weighed 10 pounds from the rain, but oh well i love rain. So it was a pretty good workout left me tired after but not super worn down.

AM-3 Really tired this morning, my toe hurt because last night i dropped this weight on it on accident.

PM-5 4 with striders. Ran up to green springs it felt pretty nice other than my toe hurt alot. Then did striders on the baseball field those felt great i love the grass on the baseball field its short

AM-3

PM- only went 3 with 4x200 instead of 4 cuz i only got 4 hours of sleep last night so i was really tired

warmed up and my foot was killing me so i was debating on racing but decided to. The race was really kinda dissapointing cuz 5 guys on the team that never beat me did i about limped half the race. Later that night though after icing it and stuff it felt completly fine i think it is about better

AM-4 woke up late and so decided to run on my own but about a half mile into my run i ran by hobbs and braden and flipped and ran with them back to the high school i was gonna turn around but i didnt really wanna run by myself so i ran with them.

PM-8 7 with striders We ran out towards the park by the old rec center i thought i was gonna die today cuz it was like a gillion degrees so grateful for water. Tommorow im gonna wear a hat and hopefully that helps.

Am-3

Pm-8 Did 6x1000 didnt feel good today but decent times 3:15 3:16 3:15 3:20 went pretty slow on that one 3:15 3:15

AM-3

PM-7 Felt really bad on the workout today 4x 2 minutes and 5x 400 i was always close to the top group i was about 10 feet behind on the last 2. Barfed alot on the 400's felt really gross today. i need to take care of my legs tonight. Glad the hard workouts are over for the week

AM-3 just a nice easy morning run i still have kept my goal of going every day!

PM-6 5 with striders we ran out towards the double churches, it was an alright run. I could definatly feel the past couple days in my legs near the end.

Weights and plyos after.

AM-4 Woke up at 5:55 so i was late. I had to run the whole thing alone which was actually kinda nice just me and my thoughts, and it was really silent. About halfway through the run i had this creeper van all of the sudden turn its lights on then go really slow behind me, then it sat going along beside me for like 2 minutes, so as you can imagine i was freaking out!! so i decided to fake tie my shoe and he still went slow. so i turned a random corner and he went off. Nothing like almost getting kidnapped in the morning, and this my friends is why you run with a buddy.....oh and did 4x200 at the end

PM-8 We had 8 miles with 30 minute tempo. I really like tempo runs but anyways i ran with Josh Braden and Matt we kept a nice tight group the whole time. We really pushed eachother, we didnt have a watch but my guess is we averaged around 6:30-6:20. The last mile of tempo we really pushed it and were probobly right around 6. Felt really reallly happy about this workout, my legs are spent lots of icing and stretching to come. Well tonight is our all nighter run a thon so i will probobly run some more miles there!!!
