AM- Today we did 6x1000 repeats. I hit 4:30, 4:48, 4:50, 4:30, 4:32, and 4:38. They were easy, but a little faster than normal. I don't know what's up with me today. I felt super tired and short of breath. The workout, which doesn't usually tire me out, made me extremely tired. I don't know. Maybe I'll feel better by this afternoon. (half a mile barefoot warmup). PM- Ran in Desert Hells territory for my 3 miler. Ran a nice easy route that ended up being 3.1 miles, but that didn't bother me ;) felt pretty good. Couldn't make it to team practice today, but will try on Thursday. |

AM- Today we did a new workout called 1/1 which is just like 30/30s but just double the hit time and distance. I made it all the way to 15 which is the most anybody got because coach stopped us for kid's club. I felt super good today! It felt easier than the 30/30s, but it was still a nice hard push. 1 mile warm .5 mile cool. (half a mile barefoot warmup). PM- I know for a fact that this was 3.1 miles. I calculated it yesterday with a GPS watch. Yesterday I hit it in 23:35. That for sure is a promise. I say this because none of you are going to believe what I did and I just about hate/love myself for it. I went out on a run purely because I was angry. I didn't even think I was going to do a PM run today. I don't want to say exactly why I was angry, but I was furious. I've calmed down now, but it was bad. So I went out of my grandma's house with my watch and started running. I decided to do the same route as I did yesterday. The exact same route. My watch was running the whole time. The thing that was so shocking about this 3.1 MILE RUN, was that I ran it in 17:58. That is more than a 1:30 PR and this wasn't even a race. I confirm that this was a 3 mile run if not more! I got to the halfway point at like a 9 minute and I decided that I was just gonna kill it. I didn't care what anyone would say. So I started going. I think I was in the zone. I felt amazing during the whole thing. I felt like I was on top of the world. I don't know what the heck happened, but I was not expecting me to run any faster or stronger than I usually do. I don't know what I did different, but I sure dang hope I can run this good at the time trial tomorrow. Coach don't kill me.

| | AM- Half a mile warmup then 1.5 mile warmup then 2 mile time trial then 1.5 mile cool down. Felt pretty crappy and I hit above 13 minutes which is not good at all for me. I think I just need to start thinking more positive. Plus, it was grass and that never helps very much. Good job to Cam though! He really knows how to C.A.M. it. |

| | AM- Today we ran 8 miles with 3 miles tempo. I figured today would be pretty tough and it was. We had like the biggest tempo group we've ever had on one of these tempos though. It was me, Cam, Andrew, Nick, Jake, Jason, Dallin, and Jake at the beginning and then by the end of the tempo it was me, Cam, Andrew, Nick, and Jake. We lost a few guys but we made it. Our splits were 6:40, 6:30, and 6:17 for the last one. I felt myself falling off towards the end of the tempo so I told Andrew and Nick to let me run in front of them so I would be pushed and that seemed to work. I'm pretty sure that I ran a lot faster today then I did at the time trial and this was a whole mile more! I don't know... (half a mile warmup). |

AM- Today I ran on my own because my poor grandma can't take me to practice. I ran near Snow Canyon High. I did 3 miles before I started my hills and then a dog chase and ended at nearly 7 miles. For my hills I did 5x1 minutes and they were really tough. I was consistent at running to about the same place every time and felt satisfied with those. Then an evil dog came out of nowhere and started to chase me! It was a fast little devil and ended up making me sprint half a mile and then it gave up and I reigned victorious. Then I decided to find a new hill so the dog didn't find me again. Then I did 3x30 seconds and they were awesome. Each one I went farther and faster then the last. It was sweet and I felt good with those. It felt pretty much the same as doing them in Hell's Hole. PM- Finally got around to measuring my 17:58 and guess what... I lied to you guys. What I thought was a 5k ended up to be only 2.94 miles. Still a huge improvement and a definite PR. I took it slow today and ran the 2.94 miles in about 23 minutes. Someone honked at me near the end and scared the jibby out of me! Felt dead by the end and I have some pain in my left calf, but it should be fine.
