DONT TREAD ON ME

Had a good night run with Tanner Scott and Joe. Kept it pretty flat. 

8x100s. Caden and I were late to the 100s because of the "cherry blossom" chicken at school lunch. Let's just say those cherries blossomed. 

I am experiencing some pain 'neath the bootnicks probably need more water, even though it's kindof chilly outside.  It was nice to do plyometrics again. Easier than tabatta. 

Awesome trail to the Lonley mountain. Lot of lord of the rings reinactments. The way back was really slow but like coach said I have to think of 5 positive comments for each negative one so I'll keep my mouth shut. 

2 mile warm up. Vo2 the Max. Finished with 10 laps and right behind Scotty. 2 mile cool down hid golfball. 

Started off at about 9 min pace but worked down to 6 min mile. It was a beautiful run, I felt great and it was a breeze ( minus digging a pickup out of the sand).

2 mile warm up. 15 min Tempo Run, 6:05 mi pace with Scotty but we went 6:02. 2 mile cooldown and then core with cap'n Banejamin. I felt great. 

Trail run with road shoes is a bad idea but i needed to get them broken in.

*I WILL BREAK YOU*

2 mile warm up. Spring is here and the shirts came off. We had a tabatta type workout to the sounds of AC/DC. I felt great in my new virratas.

Caden, Joe, Sage and I had an awesome adventure to The Lonley Mountain.  Caden goproed the run.

2 mile warm up. (the warm up didnt really work because it is freezing today). Great workout called the Cosmo or somthing. I felt great especially at the 300m progressions. 1.5 mile cooldown.

We drove to Church Rocks and ran around in the desert. There were cliffs, scary tunnels and "gold group" girls leading us. I felt pretty great today. 

2 mile warm up we took it pretty fast. The first mile repeat of our 4X1600 I felt great and Tanner and I hit our time. The next two miles we were about 5 seconds slow. Thankfully Coach let us do the 4th one (I would hate to not be able to do the same workout as the Varsity) and I was about 8 seconds behind pace. I was feeling pretty beat during the 1 mile cooldown and then we got to do Plybotta Bleacher Edition. Overall it was a pretty rough day that im glad is behind me. Wont be at morning practice because of Driver's Ed.

awesome run with the gold boys and courtny. great conversation. sage and i found beads.

Running with the 800 clan was a great experince. Also we only had 6 repeats ;) The 5X200m progressians felt great kind of.

I loved my new Galaxy Shorts. I think i may have scared some of the freshman girls...

8 miles in the desert alone... I found the old border crossing station, it is sketchy to say the least.

2.5 mile warm up. Over 3 mile tempo run past the Rosenburche musesm thingy. I felt good the first two miles but I started feeling some pain in my shin and slowed down. I finished right behind   Caden. We cooled down back to the park and my shins hurt pretty bad. Core was easy and stretching felt great.

Got a ride back from Jordan : )

Its always fun to try a new run. (decent poetry). 7 miles out on this rock mountain. Beautiful cliffs, views and girls...

2 mile warmup and then a workout with micah and swaney. 4x200, 3x400 and finally 4x200 and I hit my times. I didnt eat nasty school lunch today *Gollem* I went home and ate and I felt great for the workout and Plyimbotta. My calves are starting to get used to Zero Drop.

4 mile Kenyan run + rolling out class with coach thatcher. 

2 mile warm up to the knolls. 8X200 hill repeats. I went out way hard for the first 4 and was beating Ben. I felt tired for 5 and 6 but came back to the front for 7 and 8. Plyimbotta was easy. Great day. 

I helped coaches parents move then I went larping. I didnt go running because my shins hurt. 

2 mi warm up. 3x200, 2x400, 1x600, 1x400, 2x200. It's a weird workout but I felt fine. Apparently my arms are all weird when I sprint. Good to know I've got lots to work on!

AM- 3 miles easy. Today was my first morning run if the year now that drivers ed is over! 

PM- 7 miles out in Arizona. Great run. #adventuretuesday Scott had a hard time staying dry bolting off with Coach Madsy and Corn Dog. We saw some heffers eating tumbleweeds. The wind was way cold I need to bring a jacket. 

3 miles in the morning 

tempo run after school and my goal was to stay with sage until the little bridge (mile 2) and I did. I fell behind and only went 15 mins. 

3 miles in the morning 

4 mile Kenyen Run. It was very nice to have a recovery day. 

3 miles in the morning. 

2 mile warmup, 5x200, 1x1000, and then 6x200 and 1 mile cool down. 

Coach was videoing me so I can work on my form. 

I am ecxited to see what I can do this season. 

6 miles all by myself out to little valley. Chariots of Fire. On Replay.

AM- 3 miles easy I ran on my own

PM- 5 miles total, 2 mile warm up, 800m Kosmin Test and 2 mile cooldown

I felt pretty good, I ate really light today and was accually kind of hungry. The first Minute of the Kosmin I finished right at the 400m and "broke 60". The next lap I felt out of energy and wasnt as fast. Laughing Core with Cap'n Ben was really fun.

Am- 3 miles

Pm- 5 miles out behind the school.

Pm- 4 mile Kenyan run. I love these recovery days. 

Am- 3 miles

Pm- 2.5 mile warm up + 2 mile power run. I hit my first split but fell behind for the second one. I was a little sick. 2.5 cool down. 

I had to aerate until 4o'clock. I went out on the Ridge and found an awesome way down to Rainbow Road. The weather is perfect outside and the brooks Cascadias are amazing. 

Am- 2 mile warmup and 3x1600 repeats I had to leave early to go to Zion. 

Pm- 3 miles in Zion

I didnt run this morning because i had some cod fish that was bad and it made me pretty sick.

Pm- 2 mile warm up. 2 mile power run. i felt pretty good furing the pwer run but the 4x200's really wrecked my day. I still did them however. 2 mile cooldown.

Am- I slept in for my birthday

Pm- easy 5 out in the desert. I got over my Codfish. I really liked Coaches plyimbotta. I am so thankful for this organization. I kove this team. I turned 16 in a huddle of my closest friends and family (and beautiful women). It has almost been two years since i started running. Thanks Coach and HU.

Am- 3 miles easy

Pm- 4 mile kenyen run

The Dogtown 9k

Great start, we were far ahead any other people. Riley, Gibb, David&Goliath and I stayed as a pack for the first mile than Riley and I took off in search of Kale (who was riding the tail of the Bike Dude). We hit our times for Miles 1 and 2. Riley and I slowed down for mile 3 with 6:41. I left Swaney and tried to catch this Freshman from Pineview. (Nasty baby Panther). I didnt get him but I was right at 6:00 for mile 4. I had an alright finish and the race was very fun! 4th overall. I got 1st in my age group.

Cooldown for milage.

Am- 3 miles easy. It felt great to be out and running again after the "9k".

Pm- 8 mile trail run out behind the Thatchers. I felt really fresh and kind of naked with only my medium Get Bit shorts on.

2 mile warm up, 4x1000, 4x200 with 15 push-ups in between each 200. Everyone was still pretty tired from the race. I felt pretty tired. I was on time for 2 of the 1000's. 200's were easy as usual. 1 mile cool down. 

Ice bathe with Joe and core and stretch was nice.

But I feel like sometimes we have too much time between the workout-cool down and cool down-stretch. I like plombota but we didn't do it today :/

am- 3 miles around san diego. I accidentally found a hobo village.

pm- 2 mi warm up, 8X1min with 1min recovery, 1 mi cooldown. it was really nice to jump in the ocean between repeats ;)

5 miles out on the beach.

First run of the summer. It is so weird not having the seniors and there are so many little/new runners. This whole 7:30 pace is going to be.. Challenging but I'm ready for it. Time to go 100% in. 

These 5 miles were so much easier than yesterday's.  We kept the pace really fast.

13 miles on a river 

Warmup from my house then 6 mile run at fast pace. I ran home too. 

My body is really sore. 

I ran from my house + 6 mile run out yonder.

We also did 30 mins of aquajogging. 

7 mile trail run and 30mins of auqa. 

4 mile warm up then 8X30second repeats. I was feeling really sick and did 6. Cool down to the school

AM: 9 miles out to Ariziona then kids camp. 

PM: 30mins of aquajogging

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.

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.

7 mile run in the Desert

4x300m w/ 100m walk inbetween.

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

Last workout in my asics :'( 

didnt wake up on time, woke up 7:55... this homework is breaking me.

Workout at little valley, 12x400m. The first 11 were great I was in front of Tanner for some of them. Felt really good until I triped on my shoelace and pulled my Groin. 

I got new shoes and they feel great. didnt run in them this morning though.

Easy run in the Desert my groin didnt feel very bad today. We had 4x200m and those made my groin hurt. I think its longer-stride related.

3 am with the team.

Number 8 but still Varsity for this race. It was so nice just to hang out with the guys for a few hours. 2 mile warm up and striders, we were a little late and I didnt have the full time for pre-race traditions (open the gates, jump up and down, visualize). 

The gun went off and I didnt get the best position but I followed Scott, Tanner, Spenc and Sage up though the first half mile. I got out of a pack at the first time at the track. Mile 1 was about 5:15 so faster than Im used to. For mile 2 Specer was gone and all the people in front of me dispersed. Came in maybe at 11:35 I started to lose focus (blame Maddie Gill's beautiful face) but I kicked on the jets for mile 3. Coach said "pass 4 pine view kids" and I started the push for the finish. I got 3 by the 600m and was working to stay ahead. We dropped into the track for the last 300m and I was close to a Page kid. With 10m left he CUTS IN FRONT OF ME!! I pushed my arm in front of him and fought him for the last 3 steps (the officals put him in front but I won with the head bob). I was really angry at first but I told him "good job, sorry I bumbed into you" he looked really ashamed so he knows what he did. I will just take the higher road. I still yelled at coach for what happed, but he said to calm down and I understood that people were watching and Caden was getting riled up too, very wise of Coach... I learned a lesson and also that I need to be more agressive. (still a little disapointed that that was the Page guys best effort; to cut someone off. Classless). Only 4 seconds behind scott... would have been nice to know at the 500m or 400m...

Barefoot mile + awards WOO HOO! 

Worked Marathon security with scott and that was really fun seeing Coach finish. Very Impressed.

Did yardwork for Pat with scott and sealed a gig every week there! so maybe I'll start taking some of Tanner's lawn mowing customers ;).

I started my 7 mile run and at 2 miles in realized conference was about to start so I sprinted back to my house to change for priesthood session and then went to dinner. Got back at around 10 so I went to sleep... I need to focus at the end of the season if I want to accomplish my goals.

3.5 in the morning woke up really early so that was nice.

School was pretty lame we had some Military test (ASVPU?) really easy and we were done by 10:00. Really weird story though.. So this kid named Matthew Chase Bennet was walking behind us as we were going to go to IHOP. He just followed Scott Sage and I to the Ahtletic Building, Locker Room, Bathroom and then scotts car. When Scotty unlocked the doors MCB gets in and somehow thinks that we are his friends or something... He came with us to IHOP because he had $50 in cash (he let us know many times). We ate and he had to go home so we dropped him off. Really weird... 

Last workout at BHNP (aka: the Jungle) 2 mile warm up.

4x800m catch-me-if-you-can workout. 5 seconds in between people for the first and then 3 seconds for the rest. I just really focused on getting Swaney I did all 4 times! and not letting Scott get me (he didnt!) Spencer/Rex/Jaiden/Kale each got me a couple of times... 4x300m course finishes. I passed 4-5 people everytime. Great workout! I have that course Memorized. 1 mile barefoot cooldown, lets just say there is a reason they are called "blades of grass"

I ran 3 miles with Brock.
