DONT TREAD ON ME

No mp 

Track has begun! I am looking forward to both a great season and another great year of running.

6 miles behind the school. So nice to be able to run with people.

6x100m strides

Core and Strech. The call was Welcome Back.

No mp

6 miles out to Sun River + .5 warmup

We started this new weight circut thing and i feel like my muscels have doubled in size already! Its nice to lift weights again.

I ordered some new shoes so they should be here tomorrow.

Can't wait for morning practice and seminary with Sarah Milne ;)

I stayed up doing homework.. didn't run in the morning... I need to set some solid goals to give myself motivation. Its hard to focus on track when its still 2 months away. Goal setting is key.

.5 warm up + 6 mile run + 8x100

morning practice was great but I had to rush to Glens

I ran in my 5fingers because my new virratas arent here yet...

I felt alright and I think it would take a little more than 5 miles ultraminimal to break me.

My pecs and triceps are still super sore from tuesday. 

Kenyan Run

Awesome adventure with Hekima Udugu. We ran out to the power lines. Very humbling experiece.

No MP

We ran the ridge. I felt good but I was messing around a lot. Its a fine line between having good fun and just being an idiot. But I need significantly more idiot time that the rest of the team haha.

8x100 striders core and stretch

Morning practice then glens right after.

2 mile warm up

800m Kosmin Test; I felt really strong the first lap and ran around a 57.  It might be the cold or just that its our first work out, but I felt pretty drained on the second lap. Usually its my arms or legs that burn in the 800 but today it was my lungs. Still it was an improvement from the last one we did. 

4x300m accelerations (m/s/s hehe)

2 mile cool down

Weights keep getting better and better. Not easier, but I feel myself getting stronger.

3 mi MP 

I accidentally grabbed 1 glove and one sock haha. I wore the sock on my hand and it kept it warm so..

8 miles on Navajo Drive

Absolutley beautiful day. My quads were burning (from yesterday) going uphill though.

3 in the morning

8x200m strides up Watertower

it was good to workout finally. 

I almost caught Kale on the last one.

Weights

Easy Kenyan run out past the Spectrum.

Kale Scott Joe and I went to Barrel Roll. I tripped for like the first time ever and not even at a steep part haha. I love running down mountains. This biker dude asked us if we were running in College because he hardly ever gets passed by runners, but we did. 

I promised myself no 0 mile days but I had to get trained for Glenn's all morning and my dad said I had to hang out with the Family for the holiday. My parents want me to stop running if I can't get my grades up... I am really banking on this ACT thing haha...

3 morning practice

no glenns but school was really stressful today I am just so worried about my future..

3 miles down the Fire Road and an 18 minute Tempo back. We got 3.03mi so right on pace. I was feeling really strong for the first 2 miles but the last one was just a mental hurdle I had to get over. I did and stayed with everyone the whole time. The top 7 were Kale, Rex, Tanner, Sage, Scott, Joe, Me so that was cool. Hopefully Jaiden and Spencer come back out tho. 

1 mile cooldown 

we did homework at Joes and then sage brought me back for Young Mens. We cleaned the Homeless Shelter Cafeteria/Kitchen. It was such a humbling experiece because these people have nothing and I was concerned with keeping my shoes clean. Life is all about Perspective.

Running in the sand and the muck and the mire. But "church rock" was great. Even though we never went to church rock smh.

3 am

Web Hill 15s 30 45 1min 2min 1min 45s 30 15 15. I felt pretty good.

Kenyan

6 mile run by myself. Nice to think for a while

2 mile hike (1300 vertical climb) for jr. Prom.

It was so awesome!

I went crazy at the dance so im pretty sore

early out day.

I ate a ton right before practice and felt it the whole time.

We did 8x200m McGruff's Revenge + 4x300m ish progressions and I thought my stomache was solid lead.

leeds was great. I talked with rachel the whole way out and it was great. She is a wonderful person.

3 mi mp

3.5 mile warm up and 20 min tempo back to the highschool from Spectrum. At school I told Joe I might not be able to stay with the pack but I did. We made it to the tennis Courts and our pace was 5:50ish. Great workout.

Weights, Core and Stretch.

3 miles mp

4 mile kenyan

Ran to Webb Hill 

It rained all lastnight and today. 

Spencer Neville was there and he seems really cool anyway we did the first 3 and it was hard but I stayed in the top pack. On the last one I could barely get up the hill. One of the hardest repeats for me in a long time. I still was maybe the 7 or 8 guy up the hill. I was feeling really down just because of everything that has been going on the last little while. I took off my shoes and just took it really slow down the hill bc I didn't want to talk to anybody.

On our way back to the school Coach came back and talked to me about everything that I was stressing about. I was trying not to cry but I failed. He helped me so much. He said that stress is just part of life and we have to deal with loss but I'm still a good kid. I try but usually it doesn't seem that way.. Anyway it was probably the best advise ive ever recieved. He said that this is all part of whatever we are here for. I am so thankful to have a man, mentor and coach like that in my life.

10 mile photoshoot/run/adventure/therepy with Scott.

We ran around Little Black Mt. to the Petroglyphs and then climbed up and ran to the top. Great View!!!

We ran back to the car but only had 7 miles (4.29 on my watch but thats because we ran next to the Verizon tower so we probably have Cancer now...) so we ran 3mi through this cool purple canyon.
