We are who we choose to be.

Zero miles today. This is the sabbath day. 

Goals for this week: Hit my workout times on point.

AM- 4 miles easy. PV BASKETBALL STATE CHAMPS. Our guys freaking deserved that shiz.

PM- 2 mile warm up, 4x1600@87% (5:21), 2x300@F (:44), 1.5 cool. Today was so tough mentally, for 1, my goal time was bumped up 4 seconds. 2, I had a crappy late lunch and dealt with an awful side ache the whole workout. I stuck through it though and was able to hit my times with my teammates! I hit 5:24, 5:21, 5:22, 5:16. Super great times, but it wasn't easy. Helped to run in a bigger group. I had Andrew, Dallen, Mitch, and Alex to run with and those guys are a great push! 300s were okay. :45 then :44. Not too shabby but still aiming for 2 44s! 

Fun fact: I have had nothing but successful Monday 1600 workouts ever since January when we started. This is a good sign that I'm ready to take it to the next level in my racing.

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Sarah! (Sarah Sargent) for running more mileage today than me haha! Plus she's a flipping beast from East. 

AM- 4 miles easy. Cold out and sprinkling. 

PM- Beast 8 mile run with the team. Had to explain to Dallen what "tap dat" meant (because he kept on saying it!), Andrew was having some chafing problems, Nick almost exploded... Twice! I won the Olympic 3200 in lane 8. Aw man today was just so eventful! We ran up Mount Everest Hill as we gazed upon the beautiful Pine Valley Mountain! Jake told me a funny joke. Strides after with some tag. I lost cause Paul only went after me:/ my feet nearly froze off during the barefoot strides though and that was painful. Beast and Feast afterwards with the team!

took the ACT today and idk about it this time... Hoping for a 30 (got 28 last time), but I'll update you guys in a few weeks or so about how I did!

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Holt for being a huge renob. Also for being my coach and running with us on the 1600s yesterday! And for making us remember that we need to bless the sacrament on Sunday.

AM- woke up and found my alarm had not been set. Luckily it was 6:30 and I still had time to go out. So I just ran up at the dirt (mud) mile.

PM- 10x400s@1600 R pace (70). Did this during 4th period by myself because I had to go to Desert Hells after school to play some hardcore classical music. I hit 71, 70, 70, 70, 69, 69, 69, 69, 68, 68. Not a bad workout. Took my heart rate before 4, 7, and 10. They were 134, 140, then a heaping 155 BPM! Idk how I'm even supposed to help get that down... Anybody know? It was tough cause the home stretch was a pretty hard headwind. Still was able to push through and had a great workout. Also I took my shirt off after the 6th one and that really helped me push. I feel bad for girls who won't be able to experience shirtless running... Maybe that's why guys are faster?

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Sarah Spiro for her beast ability to run fast and her legit tempo today. Check her out.

AM- 4 miles easy Morning Route. It was pretty good and felt really nice this morning. Only like 5 guys showed up this morning to run though so that was disappointing. I can't talk though, because I accidentally didn't show up yesterday.

PM- 6 miles easy (Foremaster so not really easy ;)) then 4x200 on the track hard. Good prerace run today. Doing the 3200 at the Hurricane All-Comers tomorrow. Not a big meet at all and not even a qualifier, but I'm still excited to see what I can do! Got new track jerseys today and let's just say silver is not my color ;) but they're dope.

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY goes to Adam Jensen (Galen) from Lone Peak for his epic 400 TT PR as well as his beast workout. Check him out. 

AM- 4 miles easy

PM- lots of warm up, 3200 (10:21), 4x400 (4:08, 60 split), like half a lap cool. The 3200 was kind of sad cause all the other teams had left by then and the only guys actually racing were Nick, Jake, Mitch and I. We just switched leads every lap for the first 5 then me and Nick switched lead every 200 the 6th lap then the rest was just nick up front. Not really stressed that it wasn't that fast because it didn't feel like a race effort or even a race environment. 4x400 right after with Andrew, Jake, and Seth. We took 4th.

6 easy on my own out on Prospector. Didn't get too far on the trail because I started from my house, but it was fun.

WOW I finally have visible monthly views! Thanks and shoutout to everyone who reads my blog :)

BLOG BEAST OF THE DAY (sorry liitle late) goes to (coach) Logan Fielding from the Hells for his 50k! He's a pretty beast dude and I look up to him pretty good. Great guy. Check him out!
