One Mile at a Time

AM- 2.8 miles.

PM- 1 mile warmup on the track backwards by myself. .5 closer to the race with Zericksen. There weren't that many LP guys so they all ran the 1600 and that was it. 4 PG guys in the 800. I won with a 2:21 so I picked up 5 points. Immediately after we threw together the only boys medley team so I got another 1.25. I ran the 400 pretty slowly in the medley because the two mile was only one event away. We had 3 or 4 guys in the 2 mile. I took second with an awful 11:38 so picked up 3 points there. Right after that got a 4x400 together against another PG 4x400 and got another 1.25 points. 10.5 points total today. I think I'm .75 points away from a varsity letter. 1 mile cool down backwards on the track by myself. I felt awful racing today like I just wanted to throw up so that was very disappointing because I wanted to run a 10:40 3200.

AM- 2.42 miles on the treadmill. The scenery and wild life was just breathtaking!

PM- 5.7 miles. 5.2 miles with Riley, Ali, Texas and Matt. We went up Reaper then up to the G then down to the high school Ali's way. My thighs were burning today. 2 strides on the track after. Jammed to Lumineers in the weight room while stretching and doing abs. Brady Olson is back from SUU so he joined as and will be for a while.

AM- 3 miles. In the locker room Josh discovered he brought his dad's pants not his so he had to call home. It was pretty funny.

PM- 4.5 miles. 1.5 mile warmup. Today was a great day because we ran 8 buddy 400's. Ali and I were partners and finished first. I kept my 400's between 70 and 73. Mile cooldown backwards on the track. Super hot day today. Stretched with the guys after and had a good time joking around.

Took the AP Calculus test today. It was boring. Chilled at home after then went back to school for practice. Ali and I ran to BMW. 5.7 miles at a 7:04 pace. 2 strides when we got back. Stretching with the guys after. We talked for a while and it was funny today for some reason. Looking to put in about 3 later because I didn't run this morning.

3.32 to Manila Pond at a nice slow pace.

No morning run today because I took the AP US History test. Ran with Ali, Jared and Texas today. We went out by Tanner's trail but on the way it started raining, then pouring, then it turned to hail and then there was lightning. It was super painful and once there was lightning we turned around. The last half mile we just hauled becuase the hail hurt so bad. It was a fun run because we roasted Texas then he told us how he had been roasted pretty bad earlier. Got back to coach's and he's at BYU so Price, Josh and Joseph had hooked up a Wii to the projector and were playing Smash Brothers. It was pretty funny. I need more miles so I'm going to have to run later today but my shoes are soaked so that won't be any fun.

3.02 miles by myself just barely. Very relaxing.

Couldn't really figure out if there was practice or not. I don't think there was because coach was going to be at BYU. Ran around my neighborhood for about a mile and a half then ran to the high school then past valley view but didn't quite make it to Tanner's trail. Came back pretty much the same way. 6:22 average pace. My shoes were still slightly wet from yesterdays crazy run/swim so that wasn't cool. I'm almost at 50 miles this week so I think I'll squeeze in a couple inbetween my Morp day date and the dance. 

2.02 miles. It was pretty tough, my legs were very tired but I got to 50. I'm glad this week is over because my legs have been pretty tired. Next week will be a little less mileage because of region. I don't know what I'm running yet but here are my goal times- 800-2:15 1600-4:48 3200-10:40

Put in some brutal mileage on a scooter walking my dog.

AM- 2.9 miles. I had to get gas so I got to the school a bit late and it took a while to catch the pack. Pace was a little fast for the way out. Coach told me that I'm running the 3200 and 1600 at region. I'm pumped but also a little scared. Pray for ya boy!

PM- 5.55 miles. 1.3 warmup. The workout was at two mile pace so I made sure to be going 10:40 pace or faster. We did everything two mile pace then a jog of the same thing so 800, 600, 600, 400, 400. We didn't do a slow 400 for the last one so only three 400s. I felt really good and it helped me feel more confident for region. Riley finished first then Ali and I ran together and finished second. Stretched and did abs after.

AM- 2.6 miles.

PM- 4.38 miles. Easy 4 miles then 200's. Stretched after. Excited for the 3200 tomorrow.

Put in 4 laps at various speeds with Jared around 9:20 so he could try his new Victory 2's and I wanted to try my Mach 15's which I think will be better for the 3200.

AM- 2.8 miles.

PM- 6 miles. Drank a good amount of water yesterday and today. Got to Lone peak around 2:40 and chilled until about 4:30 ish. 3200 was scheduled for 5:45 but the meet was going fast. Ran about 1.4 mile warmup with Ali and Jared then the last .6 with the LP guys. Got a good 8:48 draining legs. Did some strides and my legs felt a little stiff but loosened them up. Got to the line. Everyone says it was a fast first lap but I don't know my splits yet. Kept a pretty consistent pace but slower 6th lap I think. Finished with a 10:42 PR. I'm happy with what I've done with the 3200 this season. Huge shoutout to my boy Asa for going all out and dropping a 10:24! Good job to everyone that raced today and good luck to everyone racing tomorrow. 1600 tomorrow, see what I can do, ideally a 4:46. 2 mile cooldown (I think) with the LP guys Ali and Jared.

.

Too hot.

5.6 at a 7:18 average pace. Asa sucks. While running I ran into Josh (JT) Gardner from Timp who I used to play soccer with. He was just finishing up a run. He's a cool kid, glad I saw him and talked for a little. Did I mention Asa is the worst? Lower mileage this week but that's okay. Hoping to put together a bomb 4x800 team at JV region. Oh, by the way Asa is definetly not a GOAT.

AM- 2.6 miles.

 PM- 3 miles. Very easy run to Lindon Park and back. After school until practice we played frisbee and we played a little afer. It was pretty fun. I told coach to sign me up for the 1600, 800 and 4x800 for JV region. I'm not sure which events I'll end up running but the 4x800 is for sure. The team is Brian, Matt, Jared and I. The Lehi team is gonna be very challenging to beat I'm afraid to say.

AM- 3 miles. Last morning run of the year.

PM- 6.5 miles. Got to Lehi and Matt and I put two laps in on the track to get a feel for it. I wasn't going to run the 1600 but Carson told me to and I saw that I was in the fastest heat seeded last so I figured what do I have to lose. I warmed up and drained my legs. Did some strides and was feeling super nervous going in as the 23 seed. Asa got put in because he was in the second fastest heat to then I was 23/24. I hit some pretty good splits, not sure on the times. I felt so disconnected from the race though so it was kind of weird. I ended with a 4:51 1600 PR finishing in 16th. Cooled down a mile with Asa, Parker and a bunch of other Lehi guys. Later warmed up a mile with our bomb 4x800 team Brian, Matt, Jared and I. We were feeling super nervous and weren't sure what to shoot for. Brian said let's go sub 9. Brian took first leg with a 2:13. He got us a very big lead. Matt ran a 2:17 keeping the lead but not by as much. Jared went 2:15 and only had about 10 meters. I got the baton in first with Parker on my tail. His PR is 2:03, mine 2:17, so I was scared. After about 200 he passed me. I kept us in second. I ran a 2:13 and our final time was a 8:58. I also scored enough points for my varsity letter. It's been a good season and I'm glad I've gotten to meet so many new and cool people. I'm excited to see what I can do next year in cross. Congrats to everyone who ran Region, JV Region, and good luck to those running at state!

Lone Peak root beer mile went down today. Started off strong, or like 5th to last, and couldn't finish the second can like Spanky. Justin won, Craik took second and Eugune took third. Also met Eugene for the first time today so that was pretty sick. I have no clue how the top three went as fast as they did let alone finish so shoutout to them. Happy to say I'm not the only one who didn't finish. Played basketball after which was a good time. Still off running until I think June 1. Also DNF is not an acceptable race time so I'm just putting down 20.

Still not running which feels really weird. Turns out that Collin and I were in the same second grade class. We go way back! Schools out so that's good. We had our track banquet yesterday and I got Varsity so that's pretty cool.
