oh man. great race from everyone. such an exciting week/day

I went out pretty fast in the first 800m and slowed my pace so I would have something left at the end (my old race strategy) but during the race I felt like I was getting passed by so many people and I thought for sure I was going to lose the varsity spot until the last mile. coach talked all week about how we are a 3rd mile team and I started to push past some of the congealled groups. I passed 8 kids in the last 150m. I had a pretty great race after all and the TEAM did amazing! Its so great to see all of them getting T-shirts. I feel left out sometimes haha but its all good. We just need to get tanner the right amount of food haha

Hiked Angels Landing in the morning with Brecken and ran some of the way up and all the way down. I havent been to Angels since the 50. It was a way fun morning but we got lost on the way out there because of the rain and ended up in Colorado City...

7 miles out almost to the peak of Seegmiller. We keep getting closer and closer. We found some weird water containers out in the desert.

Greatful For: Fear the Walking Dead. It is so itense.

Song: Imagine // John Lennon

3 miles. I am at the point where the sandals are more comfortable then shoes but Im just going to use them for mornings. APGOV movie and Melessa's vocabulary revolves around people and his *sigh*.

Fear the Walking Dead. and fear the running dead. we did the Michigan today.

7:15 pm. Warmed up and watched the smoke rising from the east (really north because Pine Valley is on fire). Striders with a positive attitude and we were off

I went 5:26, 5:47, 4:00, 5:53, 2:35, 5:59, 0:58. Felt great and Schimmy videod the whole thing. A lot of guys went under 60 for the last 400m. Great stuff and a great TEAM to be on.

Greatful For: Short Sides haircut

Song: Jet Fighter // B*tthole Surfers

rest. I had my phone off and didnt get the update that we were running until school...

5 miles and it was hot 8x100m 

Spencer led core and joe gave me a popsicle and it was coaches so felt bad but everyone got one

Greatful For: My Grandparents. They are in town and I know they wont be around forever. Outstanding people

Song: Intro // M83

3 miles with Kale. Hes going to be gone in 2 weeks...

2 mile warm up around the Sun Bowl and then 16x400m in Vernon Worthen. I hit mostly 1:16-1:18s and I led one of them which was fun. Super hard workout and the only thing that got me through was rapping about what ever reapeat we just did i.e. Fourteen; you think its boring on this sports team? No, we pouring glory even check my cyrstal quartz, see. It was good effort from every one. and the start to a fun weekend. Apparently Rusty Taylor wasnt pleased with my pine valley tweet and to avoid a Boston V. Board of Education supreme court case I just deleted it... 53 likes down the drain haha twitter is so stupid 

Greatful For: My home release periods. I get all my homework done and still have time to mow lawns makin money and love.

Song: Any Fun // Coconut Records

3 am on my own I passed the guys on my way out tho

3 miles after school. Kim's of a stressful morning with my car door breaking and planing the donut eating contest but I'm glad we came up to hatch. It's great to get away

Greatful for: Golding for letting us use his cabin

Song: Dracula from Houston // B*tthole surfers

woke up at gouldings cabin and we drove out to this big prarie right before you drop into Bryce Canyon. I caught a horned toad and showed oliver, he got so excited to see it move (he thought i killed it) haha. Its crazy, I started running right after he was born so i guess coach gained quite a few sons that season. There are around 15 senior boys and its going to be weird when we all leave.

anyway, 2 miles at 8 min pace then 4 at sub7 min then we did these fartleks 3 mins off 3 mins on and coach drove right next to me, so I wasnt alone the whole time haha. We were all pretty burned but it was a great workout/film session from everyone. the documentary is really coming together ;)

ice bath in tropic resevoir

megamind

date with sarah. we picked up our pottery and listened to foster the people and drove out to utah hill. We had a nice talk, i think im like brotherzoned but I dont care I just love hanging out with her haha drive and unwind is wwaaayyyy better than netflix and chill. there is more to life than getting action.

Greatful For: The one pot i made that didnt get smashed... and of course sarahs turned out beautiful. my pot is 4 out of 10 but hey dont judge a man by his pot making skills (unless of course he is a potter and that is his livelyhood).

Song: Best Friend // Foster the People

it rained last night so morning run was wonderful, 3 miles to the end of the road

2 classes today then walking dead and chill

6 miles to sun river and we got hammered by the rain haha there was some thunder but thankfully we were kind of out of the way

streched inside

something just feels really off.. bad juju or some type of dark wizardry 

Greatful For: Thug Notes

Song: I Want To Break Free // Queen

3 miles and tried the sandals in mud. they get way bogged down. good to know

drove halfway to Mt. Trumbull and sage scott and I found a broken down car.. jv boys ran really well. Brock shaved a minute off of his time.

at 9:00pm we did our ladder workout to prep for Woodbridge. warm up and 2 mile warm up while the girls soccer was wrapping up a 1-0 win. It was 200 400 800 1200 1600 1200 800 400 200. I hit my times (38/1:14 ish) and everything felt pretty smooth arm and breathing wise. It was humid but that usually just reminds me of Costa Rica so I feel happy haha. Great stuff from the TEAM. barefoot cooldown and ultragen.

Greatful For: The mcrib. It has returned. I dont see no bones.

Song: 5:15 // the Who. The seats are suductive

no mp

6 miles boneyard to rainbow road. Coming down the G-force hill I went down faster than I ever have before. I felt like my quads were going to split open and I was going to burn out leaving my smoldering corpse strewn across the face of  the mountain, but overall a really fun run. Shouts out to Kasey and Max because those guys were going faster than I was into the wind today and these guys are the future of the program.

TEAM night. Crazy to think I only have a handful of these left...

Greatful For: My ability to withstand 11 Gees.

Song: Alive // Pearl Jam

3 mp

2 mile warm up. 1 mile at 5:07. Then cutdowns, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150

Drove down to Woodbridge. 4 miles on the course

morning run in a park. chilling at the house. shopping for sages spikes. DYING LIGHT.

Woodbridge is by far the most crowded race ive ever been to. we warmed up and everything seemed so surreal, we were surrounded by some of the best teams in the country. They annouced our TEAM. I had been told to get out fast. I was top 30or 40 but soon was getting passed by hordes of californians. I knew the race was going to be fast, especially the first mile. After the first mile I was feeling sick but I also felt the "third lung" coach talked about so I just held on. The whole race seems like a blur but I remeber seeing Weston (my cousin from Mtn Vista Colo.) pass me. Towards the end of the race I was getting passed by a lot of people so I dropped the pace to as fast as I could and that bumped me up 15ish spots before the end. 

barefoot cooldown. we took pics and everyone got a medal. exept me. 

greatful for: my opportunity to come on this trip. it was so fun to hang out with my little sisters haha

song: E-Pro // Beck

Madsen left early and took Sage, Josh, Tanner, Bryson and I home early sunday. We got back at 1:20 so left me just a bit to shower and pack for SkillsUSA but everything fell into place. 

Greatful for: coach madsen

3 miles on the cedar moutain canyon road from SUU cabin to a great view of a sunrise on cedar breaks.

SkillsUSA stuff all day. Planning, preppin for UTLI hanging with brecken.

Got back at 6. after madi got pulled over haha. At 6:45 I went down to the Powder Puff game and annouced with dewey. The game got over at 9 and I realized I hadnt run yet so I ran from my house past the spectrum on that road with just a headlamp. When I turned around I turned off my light. stellar view. 10/10. 

got back at 10.

Greatful That: everything from leaving for california to the Powder Puff game's timing worked out. Barely. but it did.

Song: Elephant // Tame Impala

woke up late with a really sore throat

went to school anyway then instacare and I have Strep.
