DONT TREAD ON ME

I was up north doing family things and the Ogden Temple open house we got back about 10... I ran 2 miles and went to sleep. NO 0 MILE DAYS!!!

3 am

Little Valley, 6x800's w/ 4x400's. I was felling pretty bad but I tried to stay positive and it really helped. I was really close to the CREWmbulonimbus for every repeat. The 400s were tough but Coach said to just focus on the next one and I was hitting maybe 1:10's?? Overall a tough one but worth it in the end. Just like life.

Accelaration run on the fire road. I took the belt way and it was way faster to Warner. We drove down the fireroad and warmed up there. Some big clouds moved in and we got some rain. After pooping and praying that lightning wouldnt strike we started off. We went about 6:30's to6:00 and 5:25. I stayed with the group up until the last 5 minuets and it was a really great workout.

We went up north for BYU! 3 miles up at the spikey plant park.

1 mile warm up

I got out ahead of the writhing masses and stayed with the top group of about 20 for the first mile. Things began to clear up and It was strung out for the next mile and a half. I really focused on getting the guys ahead of me. My parents went up and It was really helpful to have them there for me. I passed a guy at the end and finished 9th all 8 in front of me and 3 behind me were all Davis Darts. I was really impressed with their sportsmanship. It was a race of place not time.

2 mile warm up at 10:00 at night.

3200m on the track. Scott chose this as our qualifier. My second 3200 race ever! For the first 4 laps I stayed with scotty and then he dropped the hammer. for 5 and 6 I was in last place so I relied on my 800 skills. I passed Caden and Bryson. Riley and I were racing with scott for the finish but it was only the 7th lap. Scott caught us and Riley went with him. I dragged behind but couldnt get myself to go. Riley beat scott and is going to Woodbride. I pr'd by a minuet and a half.. 

I was about to go home but realised we had a 300m 200m 150m finished left.... 

No morning Practice!

3.5 pm

Beautiful morning in Cedar. 

My race was last, we warmed up around the course. It was my first time there so I had to kind of map it all out in my head. Top 7 were in California so I ran varsity with Scott, Bryson, Caden, David, Ginge and Joe. I felt pretty trashed and Bryson got ahead of me. I was struggling to keep the pace, I had a big group behind me. The last mile or so Nephi Eschler came up behind me and we started passing people. At the 300m to the end Nephi got right with me and we sprinted as fast as we could, I barely passed him at the end. It felt so great because he is an amazing 800m and has a lot of speed. Our 300 was under 40seconds! As a team we took 1st place and all got shirts. Scott Bryson and I got top 10. Very exiting to have 8-14 on the team still win a meet!

3 am

2.5 mile warm up

10x500m. I felt alright on the first 5 but for 6,7 and 8 Matthew passed me at the end. I was really beat up (partially because I forgot my water and parially because I stayed up till midnight texting women...) I told coach I need to call it quits but then I thought I didn't come all this way just to quit. So I finished the 10 and was pretty dead after that.

3 am

.5 warm up

6 mile run out in Hidden Valley

8x100m striders

Slept in this morning...

2 mile warm up.

I felt good the first mile but pretty sluggish at the middle of the second. I finished strong and PR'd so it was successful.

2 mile cool down.

3 am

3 pm w/ 4x200m on the track.

It took a while to get up to Payson but the ride was fun. We played Uno and talked for a few hours as a team. I got about 45 mins of sleep before my race so I felt really fresh. 

All of the JV Sr/Jr boys did calistenics and striders (led by me) then we all visualized (also led by me). Caden led us in a succsessful redering of Go Fight Win Tonight, Cody Clayton would be proud. 

The gun went off and I sprinted pretty hard for the first 50m I didnt want to get boxed in. Caden, Joe, etc. all did. I was about top 15 for the first mile at 5:15. It was really nice having Jake Taylor and some other PV kids to stick/fight with. By the second mile I was just really focused on my cadence, I came in aroud 11:40. I started working forward trying to leave it all out on the course, I passed a few guys and by the last 400m there was a group of 4 of us. We dropped onto the track and I kicked on the Nitrus. Our arm were swinging so hard I hit a Mtn. View kids arm and he kind of stumbled. The last 100m I passed all 4 guys landing myself in 5th place. I was so happy I jumped up and smacked the flag things hanging over the finish line. I got 5th and beat Scotts time by two seconds so I will race Varsity for Cedar. 

It was my best race of the season so far and Im really exited for this week. We got back really late and Im tired.

I woke up at 9:30 and ran to the Lonely Mountain. It was great going out but I realised I was going over milage so I turned back early and fineshed the last 2 miles hard going down the Spectrum. Beautiful weather at noon (67 degrees). 

I watched Avatar the last Airbender and answered Kylie to Sadies. Then I watched the Hobbit Pt.2 with my family so overall a good day. 

3 am

4 mile repeats at Grandpa Fieldings dirt loop, I stayed with the Krew for the first 2 but I fell behind for 3 and 4 (still hit my times tho)

3 am

6 in the desert, no striders or anything
