AM- did our 6x1000 repeat workout this morning. My time moved up to 4:17 because of the time trial, but I ended up running a bit quicker. My splits were 3:59, 4:07, 4:11, 4:05, 4:01, 3:56. So I ended up doing a V shape workout. As always, 1.5 mile warm/cool. Afterwards we did the team carwash. It was fun, but I got fried.

PM- 3 miles easy. I ran on my own for the first time in a while. I really love running on my own (no offense to my team members). It's just fun to go your own pace and have nobody to compare with. Anyways, I went up and did my run at the dirt mile today. Somebody destroyed our starting line!!!

oh... I almost forgot! I hit 500 miles since the start of summer practice today!!!

Race: Dixie All-Comers (3 Miles) 00:19:21
Total Distance
9.50

AM- Easy 3. Right when we started I was having sharp stabbing pains in my lower left back. It really hurt, but I got over it fairly quickly. After that, I had similar pains in my right glute. That ended by about 3/4 done. The rest was pain-free, but I had never experienced stabbing pains like these. They weren't enough to slow me down behind the group, but they still hurt. Hopefully it doesn't happen during the race.

Race- We went to the Dixie All-Comers today and boy did I not do as good as I would've liked. I started up with Andrew and only kept with him for not even half a mile. I started dying about then. I went the whole race getting passed person after person and I felt like I could do nothing about it. And that's why I didn't do good. I lost before I even started because of my bad attitude. That and my diet and hydration are the main things I think I need to change. I tend to have the worst attitude about myself during races. I ended up running a 19:21. Not exactly satisfied with my time, but I could've done a lot worse.

AM- 3 miles easy. Felt pretty normal this morning. Nothing hurt, kept up fine, good run! AC route.

PM- 6 miles w/striders (half a mile warmup). Struggled a bit this run. My legs hurt so bad at about the 5th mile to the end. I kept up until we had about a mile to go and then I started to fall off. Super tired as well on this run. Striders afterwards went okay and I did them normally.

AM- 3 miles AC. This morning I felt a little sore in the legs. I kept up fine, but it was a bit of a struggle.

PM- 1/1s 1 mile warm 1 mile cooldown. I made it to 8 today with the increased amount of distance. It was so hard, I couldn't believe it. Felt okay in my legs and most of my problems was just my tiredness. Didn't feel as bad today as yesterday which is improvement.

AM- 3 miles easy barefoot 4 miles total. Felt extremely good this morning and ran this fairly painless. 4x200s afterwards on the track and I went pretty strong on those.

Runathon- First 3 miles of my runathon experience. I hit pretty okay for not trying too hard! My first was a 5:45, Second was 5:34, and third was 5:43. Didn't feel too bad but my arches started to feel really uncomfortable. Race walking went really good and I took 3rd in my main event: the 50 m. It was sweet!

Runathon- Last half of the runathon. I didn't try too hard on the last three miles for the runathon. Just decided to run it about a tempo pace. My arches are still feeling pretty uncomfortable. On the dash for cash, I ran about 1:14 on both of my 400s. I was so tired! Haha.

PM- I was way too sore today to even think about running. I iced and stretched today and hopefully I feel ready to run on Monday.

AM- Easy 3. Felt pretty good. Monday morning soreness as always, but it felt better by the afternoon. Plyos afterwards and they went okay. All today during school my arch was killing me and it was so uncomfortable to walk. It still feels like that now.

PM- 5x1000 repeats 91%. I was supposed to hit a 4:10, but went a little fast on the first one and just got faster after that. I went 4:06, :405, 3:58, 3:56, and 3:54. Felt really super tired during this workout and it felt like I was pushing it pretty hard. 1.5 miles warm/cool. Weights afterwards.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Me and Byron were a little late and I decided to go a little faster and try to catch up to the guys. I was by "myself" for about a mile during the run then I caught Colton and eventually the rest of the guys. I honestly don't know what makes the huge difference when I run by myself as opposed to with everyone, but I go faster, stronger, and seem to hurt less when I'm by myself. I need to learn how to reverse that!

PM- .5 warmup, 1 mile warmup. Our top JV guys (and me :P) had a time trial today to see who would get the final varsity spot. I wasn't planning on racing it, but decided to last minute. So we did 6 1/1s and then we lined up for the 1.5 mile trial. I felt like I did pretty good even though I wasn't up with the front guys. I finished 7th out of the 10 of us. Which ranks me 6th (non-scoring) on JV! I've got to change that! Cooled down to 5.5

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. We went a little quick (around sub 7 pace) this morning which usually happens when coach isn't there. Did plyos afterwards and on the side sides I hurt my arch pretty bad! During school it didn't bother me as much though.

PM- .5 warm, 1 warm, Michigan, 1 cool, striders, weights. I felt pretty pumped for Michigans today because of the race yesterday! I was determined to get B standard (28:10) and I completely demolished my goal with a 26:47!! There was nobody within 20 seconds of me in front or behind me when I finished and for most of the race. My arch started bugging me at about mile 3 and never went away, but that was just a minor setback. I felt like I did really good today and I just hope to improve each time. Striders afterwards felt easier than ever.

AM- 3 miles easy barefoot. Super nice weather for running! If every run was this temperature, that would be heaven! Felt good this morning, no pain or injury to report.

PM- .5 mile warm, 5 miles easy Sandberg route then 4x200s. Felt pretty good today, but we were going, as always in these "easy" runs, too fast for my liking. Kept up just fine and did pretty good on the 200s. Just another day in the hood.

AM- Nice and easy 3 miles AC route. I was really surprised at how many people showed up! The most in a while! Felt good during the run.

PM- 4 miles easy Green Springs route. We went a pretty nice pace the whole time and I had no trouble keeping up with the group. Hardly anybody showed up to practice today! Finished practice before 4 today!

Night Run- 6 miles easy. Met up with some of the guys and did our distance runs from the double churches, up on telegraph and past that. Me Krenshaw and Andrew were the only guys there going 6 so we had it a little easier than the other guys. I felt like I had to throw up the whole time because I had a breakfast burrito half an hour before, but that didn't stop me. Night run=heaven.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Late again! But that didn't bother me too much. Monday morning soreness as usual. Plyos afterwards. No arch problems.

PM- .5 warm, 1.5 warm, 4x1000m repeats 93%, 1.5 cool. Felt pretty crappy on the warmup because it was so hot and my knee hurt. I was just thinking that it's just 4 repeats so I'll just try to hit my time and have a mediocre workout. We started and I hit a ton better than I thought I would. Goal time: 4:05. First 3 times: 3:54, 3:53, 3:44. On the last one, coach told us to just go hard on it! I was thinking just kill me now. We started the last one and I was in front for quite a bit! I ended the last one at around 3:21. Surprised myself and had a great workout!

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Pretty easy this morning. Felt no unusual pain.

PM- 4 miles easy and striders. We went the Sandberg route today with going to the park and somehow it ended up at around 4.75 and then we did striders. We went super easy today and it felt really nice.

AM- 3 miles easy. Felt good today. My back was having stabbing pains this morning before the run. Plyos afterwards.

PM- .5 warm, 1.5 warm, time trial, hill sprints, 1.5 cool. Felt not very great on the time trial but for some reason I never do. My back was having stabbing pains for a little bit during the race, but it wasn't a big setback. Ended with a pr 12:07. Could probably have pushed harder but I'm fine with my time. Hills sprints were pretty solid.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Showed up on time again! It was pretty easy this morning and had quite a few guys there. We had a "mandatory" meeting afterwards about goals.

PM- .5 warm, 5 miles easy, 4x200. Today Trevor had a wonderful idea about going to the Neon Spider route which none of us had done before. In the run there's a long tunnel that is pitch black and a few of the guys were getting pretty freaked out but we all survived. Felt super good on the 200s. On the last one, Trevor had us imagine he was a Hellian at the end of a race and challenged us all to pass him. I was the first one done haha! Also it was a 200 pr.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Good pace this morning and I felt really good! Not a good turnout despite the fact that the varsity guys are up north. On the guy's side, we had me, Dave, Jason, Jake B, Cam B, Josh, Mitch and Bradly. 

PM- .5 warm, 1 warm, 3/3s, 4x30 seconds hard, 1 mile cool. I hit 4 3/3s! Which was pretty surprising because I was trying to hit 2! It really surprised me, but I stopped before we started the 5th one. It was way tough. The 4x30s were pretty solid. The first three were okay and the last one, I just cammed it. I went all out and hit the 200 in probably sub 28. Then I cooled down to mileage.

Saturday Run: met up with Jake, Jared, Dave, an Logan to do our 7 miler (last mile hard finish). We decided to make it a fun run and go up Shinob Kibe. We went and little slower for Jared serif as it was his first 7 miler except the last mile we went hard and got around 6:30 on the uphill. It was way fun! This time last year, I would've never thought I'd be able to say running was fun... XC is so flipping awesome!!

Am- 3 miles easy AC route. Felt Monday morning soreness in my legs this morning, but didn't affect me much. Plyos afterwards. Felt good.

PM- .5 warm, 1.5 warm, 3x1000m 95-97%, 1.5 cooldown. Today felt way too easy. I hit 3:45, 3:39, and 3:38. I kinda wish we had to do more it felt so easy. Still pushed it, but wasn't too much of a challenge. Did feel a little nausea because I are right before. Legs felt great. Hopefully I feel this good at the race tomorrow!

Race: Duel in the Desert (3.107 Miles) 00:18:28, Place overall: 7

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Hit 400 miles on my Kinvara 3s today! They are so beat up it's not even funny. Time for some new shoes... Felt good this morning. My legs felt a little sore, but other then that, I felt great.

Duel in the Desert- 1.5 cool, race, then cool to mileage. We started the race and I felt really good. It was pretty much a PV race. There were like 8 of PV making up the top group. We were going and I started to fall back a bit after about half the race. My arch started to have the problem it had a few weeks ago and I just kept falling back! I went from the top 5 to 7th place by the end. I really regret not daring to lead the race because I bet if I had, I would have done a lot better. At the end, I could here the first Hellian right behind me and I did not want him to beat me so I out kicked him in the end. Got a course PR of 18:28, but I still didn't feel like I did my best. Even though DH didn't run their top JV, I think we did really good as a team.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Pretty easy this morning. Legs hurt pretty bad though. Skylar fell down pretty bad! It was funny.

PM- 4 miles easy Washington route. Was really surprised when coach said we only had 4 miles! We took it a nice easy pace and started to speed up at the end. Can't wait until Nebo this week! It's gonna be legit!

went ahead and added a mile from the parade.

PM- 4 miles easy Greensprings route, 4x200s hard. Felt good on this run. We went a little faster on the way back then the way there for once which was good. Still a pretty easy pace. Felt okay on the 4x200s but could have done better.

Race: Nebo Invitational (3 Miles) 00:17:43, Place overall: 28
Total Distance
9.00

AM- 3 miles easy felt really good.

Nebo- 1.5 mile warmup, 3 mile race, 1.5 cooldown. Felt really good on the warmup. I started the race right behind Andrew and stayed pretty close to him until the start of the last lap. I rolled my ankle on the track and that hurt so bad. It hurt for about half of the last lap, but at around the same time I rolled my ankle, I had gotten one of the worst sideaches I've ever had. I was stupid and thought that eating 2.5 hours before when it usually takes me 4 hours. BUT I hit a PR either way with a 17:43. My first mile was a PR of 5:28 (shows how great I did in track last year). But what really surprised me was that I hit a 2 mile PR as well! I crossed the 2 mile mark at around 11:30ish and in my trials, I usually don't even go sub-12! I was definitelyon my way to going sub 17:30, but given my surcumstances at the start of the last mile, I think I did alright.

AM- Ran a workout on the state course. We did 1.5 warm/cool, 4x3/3s, 5 hill sprints, and 5x100m sprints. I'm not quite sure what the mileage was but I think it was around 7.5-8 miles. I did pretty average on everything. Nothing too extraordinary happened on this workout except that it was freezing, but that didn't really effect my workout.

AM- 3 miles easy AC route. Felt really good this morning. Had minimum soreness. Did plyos afterwards. Paul deprived me of my rolling capabilities so if I get shin splints it is Paul's fault!

PM- .5 warm, 1.5 warm, 2k, 1k, 1.5 cooldown. Felt pretty good and strong today on the workout. Hit a 7:18 for my 2k and 3:36 on the 1k. These were not all out they were just at our predetermined pace. New guy Zack came out today and he's actually faster then I thought he'd be based on today's workout. He was right with Dallen! I don't think me and him got out on the right foot because Paul and them were making fun of me, b
