awesomeness

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!
