Zack and Seths 5 mile loop today, twass a good time. After I had to help lift some stuff at my dads office today. I hope that doesnt wreak my race tommorow.  But I did win 2 games of 7 on the line at practice today so maybe the winning mentality will affect me tommorow.

Not the best race today, but thats ok. The race went out really slow for the first two laps, Like 4:40 pace. Than I picked it up on the 3 rd lap, and I felt good. But than the last 200 I could not move any faster. I think I actually slowed down, because collin morrison passed me the last 100 and put 4 seconds on me. Im pretty sure it was from lifting all the stuf yesterday. Also courtney always says the last 100 is all your arms. And my arms were really sore so im going to believe her now.

Good workout today, I was decently sore from sat. I also got a cold on sunday which sucks. But today we did 600, 400, 600, 400, 600, 400, 600, 400. I didnt feel very good on the middle ones but I felt really good the last 3. After we went down and ice bathed  in the river which was really cold but it was a good time.

Really fun run today, we went and did trails in lambert. Did spring than on the way down we did middle spring. Me and craik were going faster down middle. Also we found a wild chicken and I cought it. Also on the way back we saw a ton of ravens in this tree and they were huge. After practice we went over to the ericksens and had breakfast and played ping pong.

Workout today, the people that we going to arcadia did 8x400s I hit 68, 68, 66, 65, 64, 64, 62, 61.  I felt pretty good. After we went down to the pond and iced in it, with the patos.

Good run today on black trail and back, getting exited for arcadia.

Not a terrible race today, but I definatally didnt run smart. I ran a 60 first 400 than dropped to 68, than my last two laps were both like 70s. I didnt really want to race that way.

Today we woke up in the morning and did 5 miles with courtany, it was fun exploring trails around california. Courtanys parents house is really nice and has a awesome infinity pool. Also they have these things called cumquats which are really good. We got to the race and did a 2.5 mile warm up than watched all the two miles Jamison, Zack, and Galen did good. Zack got 2 in his heat and had a good last two laps. Jamison got third and had a good kick.

Good milage up on bonniville. After we got back we got to be in charge of the annual mountain ridge, timberline meet. I was one of the timers, which was really fun. Than it was time for the 2nd annual crab walking 100m. This year there was many athleats, and some kid from timberline thought it was a actuall event and came to race it with us. I first timed the womans 100m. And there was a new womans school record set of 1:20. And Aubrey got some really bad blisters on her hand. Than it was time for the mens race, which was really intense because we had a new school record with 48, and a potentional new world record, at least thats what we know. Than zack was in second with 62, which would have set the school record anyways.

Hard workout today, didnt feel very good. We did 1200, 1200, 800, 800, 400, 400. I split like 3:30, than 3:38, for the 800s i hit 2:24, and 2:29. Coach said do one more 400, so I thought it was the last one. So I hit 63, than he told us to do one more and I got 65.

Did alpine loop with, connor baller, tyler penrod, and jared. And most of the varsity guys. Overall it was a good time, on the way back we got some kiddy cones from arctic circle.

Good run today down to AF, than a few laps around their track. After that we went up and did golf course.

Easy pre workout run, it was really windy today so thats going to suck for those who are racing.

Today was Utah county invite, we got to the race and sat around for a little. Than warmed up for 2 miles. Than got ready and on the line. We started and took out the first lap staying with the group by the third place dude, than after the first two laps I realized that we were going out a little fast, which I have done like my last 4 races went out at 2:18 than I dropped off of that group a little and crossed the mile in 4:50. After that I was just trying to stick with the person in front of me, which was not very smart because he dropped off of pace fast, and than brennen and gabe from timpanogos caught us so I just stayed behind them and finished in 9:55. Not the smartest race by me. I need to learn to run my own race, and not to just stick behind people and go with them. After that we were in the 4x400. The wind picked up alot and it was really cold, I got 56.

good run today up on backwood bonniville, a good amount of hills but thats ok. Also Galen and Will put a note in this one dudes car that they know.

Workout today, we did 400, 600, 800, 400, 600, 800. I felt good throught all of them. My times were 64, 1:42, 2:22, 66, 1:43, 2:19. Not a bad workout, also in the open mile on saterday, and im ready to pr. Also after we went and ice bathed at the bottom of the canyon. And when we got there we saw that there was two fish in the river. So i tryed to catch both of them with my bare hands. I grabbed the first one on the tail and it swam into this pipe that we dont know where it goes so im just going to say I killed it. Than the second one I grabbed by the head more and it got out. But later I was touching it with my feet and it didnt move which was weird.

Good time today, we went down to AF and watched a soccer game, than we went back up to lone peak and did some good Mileage. Also I practiced my long jump and got 15

workout today, it was 8x400m, with 90 sec break I hit 65, 64. 64, 64, 64 ,64, 64, 62. Overall it was a good workout and I felt good

Good pre race run today, just did tramp run on to canal,  Jonas  caught a snake and threw it in the river. But we saved it and put it back with his 4 other friends. Did some strides after the run.

Not a bad race today, I think that I raced smart. I usually just try to gauge off of people when I race. So I just stuck behind Ryan raff the whole time. Than I passed him the last 100 but he passed me back. The top 6 people in our heat were all within 1 second. Even though I didn't PR, I still felt good and like I was able to go even faster, also the weather wasn't great, it was decently windy and it started to rain in the middle of our race. Also my shoe lace got untied in the middle of the race, and was about to fall off. After that I sat around in my hammock for like 4 hrs than I went and walked around and watched the other races. I was a alternate in the invited 4x400. And our team really sucked and we're not suppose to be in that race. Jackson  McChesney took it out too hard than died and walked the last 10m. It was kinda funny, I don't know what my time was, but I don't think it was that bad at all. Than I went on a cool down for like a mile with Jamison, Galen, Zack, and Joe Bensen. Also shoutout to Zack for almost winning the 2 mile.

Just a good time on alpine run, we had to go register for classes so we went home instead of strides

Today we played a really good game of basketball to start off, than we did boniville. Which it was really rainy so there were puddles everywhere so I was just jumping in them and stuff, than my jacket got really wet and weighed like 10 pounds. Overall it was a good time tho

workout today, 12x400m repeats with 90s rest. My times were 67, 67, 66, 67, 64, 65, 64, 64, 62, 63, 63, 61. I felt pretty good, even though I only got 5 hrs of sleep last night. Which kinda sucks. After we did golf course backwards which was fun.

Alpine

Good pre race day down to af and back

Awesome race today, felt great. Didnt go through the mile to hard at all, went like 4:53. Than on my last mile got a 4:50. Which felt really good. I felt strong today and qualified to go to BYU.
