| Had to get up about an hour earlier today to get my morning run in because I had an AP review at the high school. Super tired for the rest of the day. The bus ride to Provo was long because we had bus malfunctions on two different buses about a half an hour away from St George, but fortunately the third one they sent out worked. 3 miles in Nephi in our way up.

| Watched some races then went out for a short run, 4 miles easy with some strides. I felt really good.

| Weird race, I felt tired on the warm up but I didn't think anything of it. I got out fine, and felt good through 600m, but after that I felt like I ran into a wall, when I'm usually kicking here. Kind of a sucky race but I'm looking forward to region and state.

| Had another AP review this morning so I had to do my run earlier. In the afternoon we did a latter workout. I was really tired today, probably from the review in the morning, so it wasn't the greatest workout, but I tried to finish strong.

| Had an AP US HIstory review in the morning at 6:30 and had the AP Calculus test at 7:30, so I thought it would be better if I didn't run in the morning and got a little extra rest. The test was long, and we didn't actually start testing until 9, and we didn't get done until about 12:30. I felt pretty good about the test though. After that I went home to get my stuff and got back up to the high school around 2:30 to leave to Hurricane. I raced the mile and it didn't go very well. I just wasn't mentally or physically prepared to race. I was planning on redeeming myself later in the medley 800, but our team got disqualified because we dropped the handoff at 200m, so I just did 8x100m strides on the turf and cooled down a bit before going home.

| No AP review so I went to morning practice. Just me and Coach today. Second day of region in the afternoon. I did the 800 today, and it went a little better than the mile yesterday. I think I made some tactical mistakes, but did alright considering how I was feeling. I PRed by a tenth of a second, but I still feel like I could have done a lot better. A little after the 800, everyone started to get together in the middle of the field for a dance party thing so I went over there. I went in the circle and took my shirt off to do a funny dance, and then put it back on and got out of the circle. We were all laughing at it, but then one of the coaches from another team came over and told me I was DQed for taking my shirt off inside the track and I couldn't run anything for the rest of the night. That was kind of a bummer, but I wasn't running anything else so it was alright. It was pretty dumb, but I knew the rule so it was pretty dumb of me to do that. We still won region by over 100 points so the coaches weren't upset at all so I was pretty lucky.

| Stayed up probably later than I have all year last night doing homework, that sucked. But luckily we didn't have morning practice and I decided to skip the AP review because I was dead after everything. In the afternoon we just did 3.5 miles easy so that was pretty good. I felt good today except for a little tightness in my tibialis anterior. It's not hurting the bone at all, but it feels tight whenever I flex or stretch it.

| We drove up to Cedar today to get a good workout in up at elevation. We ran on SUU's track so that was pretty cool. The workout was pretty tough, 8x400m at a little faster than mile pace w/2 min. recovery, then 2x300m and 2x150m finishes. It was a good workout, and I felt pretty lightheaded after. My shin wasn't bothering me during the workout, but it was still tight afterwards. It still isn't hurting the bone, so I'm hoping some rolling out and icing will do the trick.
It was a pretty stressful week with school and region and everything, but I'm pretty much done with the stressful stuff and now I can focus on doing my best at state. I'm really excited to go up there and race and have fun!

| 3 miles in the morning. A little colder than usual today but it felt nice.
Last workout before state in the afternoon. We did 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 50 on the track with 100m cool down in between. Coach said to treat them like we were finishing a race. I hit 58, 44, 27 on the 400, 300, and 200, but didn't time the others. I didn't feel like I was going very fast to hit those times which was good. And we got to start from the blocks on the 100, that was fun. I felt like Usaine Bolt.

| 3 miles this morning on the Provo River trail. Afterwards, we just had a fun, relaxing day. We went to UVU and watched the 10k races, then we went to the mall and watched Captain America 2, which has to be the best marvel movie so far.

| Day 1 of state. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I kept waking up a lot. I warmed up and got ready for the 1600. The race didn't go as well as planned. I stuck right behind Bryan and Garrett for the first lap, then Bryan surged and I couldn't go with them, so I ended up leading the chase pack for the next 2 laps and didn't feel strong on the final lap at all. After that I went back to the hotel and rested for a little bit before the medley. In the medley my legs felt like trash and I got the baton in second and finished in sixth so that sucked. I cooled down a little bit afterwards.

| Day 2 of state. I got there around 10 to watch the 3200, our boys had 4 runners in the top 6 which was sweet! It was way hot for the rest of the day, but I stayed under our tent and drank a lot of water so it wasn't too bad. When I was warming up for the 800 I felt pretty good. I felt ready to race. Well the race didn't go too awesome. I don't know what my split was at the first lap, but I just couldn't finish the race like I usually have been able too during the season. I might be getting my blood checked soon because I should've run a lot better these last few weeks and I don't know why I haven't been able to.
