DONT TREAD ON ME

7 miles out on the trails behind my house.

3 in the morning 6 in the afternoon

I got a good position and about a mile and a half in, tanner caught me and we worked up to jaiden. For the last mile tanner jaiden and I were passing and fighting each other. At the 200m jaiden dropped back and tanner out kicked me. I felt really good the whole race but my kick failed. I still finished 7th in the team. It was an amazing feeling to finally be on varsity! I am really exited to see what happens this season and to be a part of everything. 

Am: 3

Pm: I was late to practice and now Im not going to be. Pine View looked like they wanted blood. It was a really chill warm up (exept for the fact that I was in the bathroom for 20 mins).. My relay team with Bryson and Jaiden did really well, Jaiden ran the first mile and stayed with sage. Bryson had a great leg and he kept us in 4th. When I got the baton Scotty had a 100m lead and I wanted to catch him sooo bad. I didnt get to him and Cameron Brown almost caught me... I felt really angry and Im hoping to channel that into SUU.

11.5 miles on top of Cedar Mountain. I felt really fresh despite yesterday... It was really fun to go play on the trails with Coach Thatcher and the Varsity boys. Joe's pack was bugging him so we traded for the run and it chaffed on me too. The couple miles we picked up the pace but I fell behind like 300m. 

Am: 3.5 I ran from my house before Early Morning Seminary.

Pm: 4.5 inside the school due to flooding/lightning in the surrounding area. Lots of people were messing around but I felt like we should try to take it seriously (even though all hell is breaking loose outside). We got to run by the Cheer squad and the Volleyball team so im not too upset. Kale gave us an awesome core workout!

We did 3 in the morning inside the school gym. The tile was really rough on my joints.

We had hill repeats after school. 6X500m I went 1:41, 43, 43, 45, 42, 37. We had 4X200m on the track and I led a group of A- people in them. Core and Stretch.

At 6 I went on a 5 mile hike for scouts, and I hiked there but I ran back for 2.5 miles.

Am: 3 miles before early morning seminary

Pm: 5 out to the tunnel. It was really hot and started raining right when we got back... Tobatta was easy and stretching felt really good im sore from yesterday.

Am: 3 miles

Pm: 4x1 mile repeats, 5:40, 5:35, 5:30, 5:15

I couldn't fall asleep last night but I felt good going up to Cedar. Warming up with the Varsity team was one of the coolest experiences ive had in a long time. 

The race was so great, to have that group ahead of me like that was really helpful in staying as a pack. I came in 11th and got a T shirt because we won. I didnt get the top 10. I ran the best race of my life so far but Im not on Varsity anymore. I am going to use this to propel my career as a runner.

3 in the mornig

8 after school I didn't bring my water and I was not feeling good. 

3 in the morning

2 1/2 inside because of lightning. The storm cleared and we drove over to BHNP for a 2 mile time trial and I got 11:30 ish (I got 11:56 last time so its really nice to see improvment) We had 6 finishes and I got sage and scott on a couple of them.

I woke up late this morning and did a weird 3 mile loop.

After school we had 6 out in the mud under the Tunnel. Coach fell in a huge puddle. It was nice to get some mud on us. 8X100m, tobatta, stretch and Ice Bath.

AM: 3 miles by myself

PM: <3 mile warm up, 2x2mile over hay bales, 1 mile cool down. I was feeling really beat down today. Even before we started I was tired and just wanted to go home and sleep. I ran the first one at 12:10 and the second at 12:30. I didnt even think I would be able to do the second one but im glad I did. I feel like even if you feel completly burned you can still compete. The snow cones were amazing. I left my lights on all day and my car battery died so I was really stressed for the workout as well.

3 am

3 at the state course

I felt good that morning. Scott Tanner and I had a nice warmup/striders/prayer and we lined up.

The gun went off and I burned my way to first place at the gate, I settled in the next 100m and was about 15-20th Scott passed me and I stayed with tanner and even pushed ahead of him for the first Gauntlet. At 1.25 about tanner passed me and i was maybe 18th place. I felt good and I knew coach would tell me to trust the work i'd put in so I flew past about 7 people in 200m and ended up 11th for the second week in a row.

The race was so fun and the way down was great. We went to Hot Springs and I sat by Madi Hansen on the way down.
