We are who we choose to be.

AM- 4 miles easy. If anybody is wondering about my races last weekend, just know that they were slow. So slow that I didn't bother to even check my times. This morning's run was very nice though. Good run.

PM- 4x1600 87% w/3:00 rec, 2x300 F, 2 warm, 1 cool. Really showed my resiliency through this workout after a really really bad weekend. The thing is I just gotta learn from this weekend so it doesn't happen again. Anyways it was a really great workout! Hit my best times yet. 5:18, 5:19, 5:19, 5:17. Pretty dang hard because of the heat and such, plus it was just Jake and I on the last one, but we were able to man through it and it ended up going really well for us. Jake and I switched leads on the last one on every 200 and that helped keep us focused. 300s were :45s. Weights afterwards, and I'll call that a day!

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Blake Bennion for his awesome confidence and great races/workouts. This dude really is quite the hard worker and it really pays off for him.

AM- 4 miles easy :)

PM- 800 at the SC JV meet for fun. Won the race with a 2:11 so that shows you how fast it was haha! 

AM- 4 miles easy Starbucks. Felt nice this morning, but Andrew wasn't there to ask what everyone had for dinner so that was a bust... I really wanted to know!

PM- 2 miles warm/cool, 6x800 @3200 goal pace (2:29) w/120 beat recovery (1-2minutes). Really great workout and it didn't seem too hard. I went 2:30, 2:29, 2:29, 2:28, 2:28, 2:28. Had a great group of me, Andrew, Dallen, Jake, Mitch, and Alex! Nobody had an off day today and it was great. Now just gotta do this in a race and I'll be set for state! Little bit of weights after, but I couldn't stay long cause I had to get home to go to dinner :P

Retook the APUSH unit 7 test and I'm feeling I'm borderline this time! Last time I got a 17 when I needed an 18 to pass. Also speaking of APUSH, I coulda got my first kiss in that class today! But sadly there were no volunteers...

BLOG BEAST(S) OF THE DAY goes to all the Desert Hellians for their awesome races in Chandler, Arizona. They all did freaking beast, and Tuba City ran a 9:27 or something so that is dope!

AM- 4 miles easy with the dudes! PV invite is coming up tomorrow! Running the 3200 on Saturday morning and it's gonna be fun! Fun fact, PV is the biggest high school hosted meet in Utah! Currently, there are 71 boys signed up for the 3200, but it will be above 100 boys in it! Josh Collins being among the fastest. It's gonna be awesome!

PM- 6 miles easy w/4x200 finishes. TODAYS RUN WAS SO FREAKING DOPE! Did the shoe run route (which includes us doorbell ditching the Ellsworths). We stopped at the park for a second to let some people release their bowels when Bryan had the bright idea to go and catch a duck! He ran up to one and just picked it up, it started to freak out so he chucked it in the air and it started to fly/fall and it slammed into the concrete sidewalk. Luckily it's okay and Bryan probably has herpes now. Also there was a dead fish in the pond so we decided to put it in a bag we found and leave it as a present when we doorbell ditched. So that was dope and we did not get caught. In Sandberg's, as we were running around the spawn of Marlar, Mitch got knocked up (stung) by one of his bee minions and he was yelling loudly out of pain the whole rest of the run. Luckily he's okay now, but I gotta admit it was pretty funny.

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Definition Dallen cause he has found his calling in life: saying words that he has no idea what they mean. Also he's a beast buddy of mine and we're workout buddies and he's freaking fast and awesome so check out his blog!

AM- 4 miles easy. PV Invite today!!! It's gonna be dope

PM- 6 miles around the stadium area "girl scouting". Man gotta say either the Orem or Parawon girls win! Also I found a few quality East specimens and also a Lehi girl who was fine! Other then that.... PV INVITE DOPE STUFF! Josh Collins won the mile with 4:16.21 and broke the meet record. The high jumpers went flipping high! Everything was great today and I'm stoked for the 3200 tomorrow! I'm in the fast heat so that's kewl!

Race- warmed up DI loop with Dallen, Jake, and Mitch, then did some fartleks on the track. Put our spikes on and did some strides, then said a quick prayer then we got lined up. I was seeded 22nd with the 10:10 that coach put me in at, and there were 28 guys in the heat, 15 guys sub-10 going into it. It was an alley start and I got stuck on the very end of the last one! Which was okay. The race started and I got into a good position in the middlish of the pack. First lap was like a 1:13, the first mile was pretty uneventful, but going into the mile, Jake and Mitch were both pretty close which was good. 4:56. The Desert Hells guys started to make a move going into lap 6 so I decided I would stick with them as long as I could. We passed Spencer from Dixie as well as a few other dudes, but both Tanner and Bryson beat me. Finished with a HUGE PR of 9:56. I'm stoked because I hit state qualifying and now I get to show all I got at state! I'm so freaking excited.

Blog Beast Honorable Mentions: Connor Baller (first JR (4th overall?) as well as a 9:38 which is freaking quick, also won AA), Hell Raiser (State qualify/5 sec PR of 4:25 in the 1600), Model-T (3rd JR 9th overall 9:50), Holt (for running the best meet ever which was right on schedule the whole time), and Mitchell Price (PR in the 3200 with a 10:07)

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to BrysonKing for his DHells freshman record in the 3200 with a 9:52 I think. That dude is a freaking beast.
