| This morning we ran out in Santa Clara. First I ran .2 miles from where Josh parked up to the trail, then we did an 8.1 mile loop on the trails, then .2 back to Josh's car, then .2 back up to the trail to stretch with the team. Trying to get all these little extra miles in to get into the 700 mile club (Today is the final day and I'm a few miles short)!!! Added 2.5 with Josh back at the school because he couldn't run in the afternoon. Then in the afternoon I ran 1.35 up to the high school for practice where we ran 3 miles to Hidden Valley and back. 15.55 today and a grand total of 700.12 miles!!!!! Now I just hope that all this extra mileage today won't affect my race tomorrow too much.

| This morning we did 3 miles to The Spectrum. In the afternoon was our race at Bloomington Hills North Park. We did a 3 mile warm up, 3 mile race, and then a 2 mile cool down. Before the race even started my mouth was super dry for some reason. I drank a lot of water during school so I don't know why it happened, it hasn't happened to me all season even in workouts so it was weird. Anyways, I felt like I had a good race and was able to run pretty well with the front pack for the first 2 miles. I know that I can do better and I'm excited to keep improving.

| 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. 8 total (2 mile warm up, 4x1 mile repeats w/ 2:00 recovery, 2 mile cool down) in the afternoon at the region course. It was sort of a different workout. We started with Coach, then 10 seconds later Riley went, then Micah 10 seconds after that, and the same all the way down to Josh. Our goal was to relax the first half of the mile then try to catch the person in front of us. Really hot today but I felt like I did well in the workout.

| This morning we did the Michigan workout for the first time this season. 9.5 miles total (2 mile warm up, 1600 on the track, mile on the road, 1200 on the track, mile on the road, 800 on the track, mile on the road, 400 on the track, 2 mile cool down). We had a 1 minute recovery between each run. Great workout this morning and a major confidence booster. Also some beautiful weather that I'm sure helped us hit our splits.

| 3 in the morning to the bridge. 8.5 total (2.5 mile warm up, 5x1 mile repeats w/2:00 recovery, 1 mile cool down) in the afternoon. Had some nice cloud cover for the workout today which was very much appreciated. Legs were pretty tired today but I still felt like it was a really good workout. Picked it up on the last one and I felt pretty good and finished strong. Solid workout today.

| 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. In the afternoon we went to Little Valley Park for our workout (2 mile warm up, 8x400m repeats on grass w/equal recovery, 2 mile cool down). We did our 400s at 5k pace so it wasn't anything too fast, just an easy workout to get ready for Saturday.

| Today was the BYU Autumn Classic. The 5k race was three loops around the BYU track/warm up field/softball field. The course was a little muddy in some spots but other than that I thought it was an awesome course. Our team was third place behind Davis and Lone Peak, which was a pretty big accomplishment for us and a major confidence booster. I felt like I raced pretty well but I know that I can do a lot better and I can still keep improving. No race next week so it should be a good week of some tough workouts.

| 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. In the afternoon we did mile repeats at the region course. Didn't have my best day today so I wasn't too happy with the workout, but I finished strong on our finishes so that was one good thing.

| Woke up late so had to get my morning run in just before school around my neighborhood, 3 miles. In the afternoon we did 500m hill repeats. We kept the first 5 at a relaxed and then picked it up on the last 5. Felt pretty good today and tried to redeem myself from Monday's workout. Really pushed the last few and felt like I did pretty good.

| Forgot to change my alarm so I was a little late for our workout in the morning. We did sort of an all out 2 mile. Our first mile was slow so we had to make up a lot on the second mile. Just tried to stay with Ben, but he ended up catching Josh with about .25 miles left and sort of pulled me with him. I felt like I still had a little left in my legs so I kicked hard and ended up passing both of them. Then we did some 400m finishes on the grass. Felt pretty good this morning. Got a quick 3 in right after school so I could get to work.

| 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. 20 minute tempo run in the afternoon. Wasn't feeling too good, been feeling a little sick since Saturday so I didn't do to good today. Starting to feel a little better though so I should be back up to normal soon.

| 3 in the morning to The Spectrum. We ran up in Brian Head at a race that Parowan was putting on this afternoon. We were supposed to treat it like a work out and focus on keeping a good pack and staying relaxed for the first part of the race then hammer the last half. It was a tough course but it was also really fun and beautiful up there! The middle section was all uphill so it was tough transitioning into a fast pace once we got to the top, but it was a good push and a good workout for me. Felt pretty good.

| Race day! This morning we drove up to Maple Mountain High School for the Nebo Invitational. It was pretty cold and wet, so after our first little warm up, my feet were soaked and freezing. I forgot to bring extra socks so when it came race time, I honestly couldn't feel my feet. But I told myself that I was going to race hard and not let it affect me. It was a pretty crowded start so I didn't get out as well as I wanted to, but I stayed positive and ran hard. When I was finishing, I think I felt too good, and wasn't as tired as I have been in past races. I was a little upset because I know that I had more in me and didn't leave it all on the course. I still think that I haven't raced my best yet and I'm looking forward to running some gutsy races for the rest of the season!

| Today we got up early and ran the state course a couple times, with some 1:00 pick-ups on the second time around, nothing too fast, just trying to stay relaxed and focused. The course was blanketed with frost, which made for some pretty cold toes! Really trying to start focusing and visualizing for region and state. I think that I can do really well and that our team can do really well at region and state, but we have to start really focusing up. It is going to be a very important next couple of weeks.

| 3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. 4x1 mile repeats at the region course in the afternoon w/4x200m finishes. Felt a lot better today than I did last time we were here. Felt like I did pretty good today but I had a few aches and pains that I'm trying to figure out. I'm getting some new shoes today so hopefullly that solves some of it.
