Went and ran Barrel Roll with some of the team this morning because of Labor Day. Fun trail, and it was nice to do our longer run in the morning. 

3 easy in the afternoon.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge.

Went to Little Valley park in the afternoon for the workout. 6x800 w/2:30 recovery, 4x400 w/equal recovery. It was hot, but I felt good. Good workout from the guys today. Then I went to the region course to watch the rest of the team run in the Dixie Invite. Brutal course, but they all toughed it out. Good stuff.

6.5 out towards Sunriver in the afternoon, nice and toasty outside today. Afterwards, we all went into Coach's room and talked about some pretty exciting stuff. It was really motivating, and a reminder that I need to be doing everything I can to help our team accomplish the goals we set.

Went out to Warner Valley for the workout in the afternoon. 30 minutes tempo, we started out pretty easy and kept it on cruise control for the first 15 minutes then dropped the pace every 5 minutes for the next 15 minutes. Good workout, we pushed he last 5 minutes and finished strong as a group. Great stuff from the guys.

3 easy in the morning around my house. Had to run earlier because I drove this morning for drivers ed. I decided that I should probably get my liscense because I'm a senior and stuff. 

3.5 easy in the afternoon with 6x100m strides afterwards. Pretty easy day today so we can crush the workout tomorrow.

Michigan workout today!!! Pretty sweet workout. The workout is 5.5 miles total. It starts out with a 1600 on the track (5:12), then we go to the road for a mile (all of these were between 5:40 and 5:45), back to the track for a 1200 (3:48), mile on the road, 800 on the track (2:27), mile on the road, then everything you have left in the tank for an all out 400 on the track (:57, if you run under 60 seconds, Coach buys you dinner!), w/1:00 rest between each intreval. Solid work from the team today. It's a killer workout, but the guys dug deep and knocked it out of the park. Good week of training with some solid workouts. No race this week, so we will be hungry for competition next Saturday at BYU.

I started to feel sick last triad and I think it reached its peak this morning and last night. I didn't feel great when I woke up so I slept in a little more before getting my morning run in, just 3 miles easy around the neighborhood. 

I felt a little better at school and at afternoon practice. We ran 9 miles easy out towards Bloomington. The rain made it nice, but I felt like I didn't have a lot of energy from being sick. It wasn't too bad though. Maybe another .5 mile upstairs on the track for our finishes because of lightning. The corners were super tight so it was pretty trippy.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge. I felt much better today. 

In the afternoon we headed over to Coach's parents' house for some dirt mile repeats. They felt pretty easy, and we cruised through them. Good workout from the guys today.

4.5 easy in the afternoon out towards the Spectrum again. It was pretty hot but not too bad. Crazy how St. George can go from tropical rainforest to desert in 24 hours.

Workout at Little Valley Park in the afternoon. 8x400m repeats on the grass w/equal recovery, then some 100m practice starts after. Not too long of a workout but it was good. Legs were a little tight but I rolled and stretched when I got home. Exited for BYU on Saturday!

3 miles this morning around my neighborhood again because of drivers ed. 

Another 3 in the afternoon with some strides at a park up in Orem. I got chewed on by some radioactive mosquitos so that sucked, no pun intended.

Raced at BYU today. I got out pretty good, but I don't think I was as aggressive with keeping that spot as I should've been, I kind of just let people swarm around and get in front of me, so I fell off of Josh and Jaiden pretty early in the race. The rest of the race went okay, I didn't feel too bad, but I know I didn't race as well as I was capable. I know that the training is going to help though, and that I will keep getting stronger with each race. We were 2nd today behind Davis, farther than we should've been, but we are just going to put it behind us and focus on Woodbridge next Saturday. Super excited to go down to California and rock it out.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge. 

We did our workout at 9pm to sort of get ready for our night-race on Saturday at Woodbridge. It was a latter workout on the track: 2 4 8 12 16 12 8 4 2. Not a great workout for me today. My legs felt flat and I was a few seconds off my times. I didn't feel spectacular but I tried to finish it off strong and that was good.

No morning practice because of the late workout last night.

6.5 miles easy in the afternoon. Felt like I was running on the sun. As soon as we got back though, the sky unleashed the rain of a thousand rains on us for about 20 minutes. Stupid weather.

In the afternoon we did a 2 mile power run on the track, with some cut-down finishes afterwards (400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150). Felt pretty good, definitely better than Tuesday. Excited to head down to California tomorrow!

After first period we headed down to California for the Woodbridge Classic in Irvine. The girls were racing tonight but we don't race until tomorrow night, so we jogged around the course and watched some races before heading over to the house. Then we went back to the course and watched the girls race. They did well and it was fun to watch.

In the morning we did a little shakeout run over by Disneyland to get the legs loose. We didn't race until 10 at night so we had to keep ourselves entertained at the house for quite a while. We ended up wrapping up all the girls stuff in Christmas wrapping paper while they were at the beach. It was pretty funny. We ate dinner and I took a short nap before heading over to the race. We warmed up and headed over to the starting line. The starting positions were first come first serve, and we were one of the last teams over so we didn't get a very good spot. Racing against these California teams was WAY different. I got out okay but I wasn't aggressive with keeping a good position, and I let too many people get in front of me. I was in last place on our team at the mile so that wasn't good, and I spent most of the race just trying to catch up with our team. I finished strong, but when I was done I felt like I hardly raced at all. Still felt like I ran well, just not nearly hard enough. Our team was 5th against some really good California teams, and we were only 15 points away from 2nd place. Lots to improve on still, but we will have another good week of training and a big race at Nebo on Friday.

3 easy in the morning to Hidden Valley.  

In the afternoon we did hill repeats behind the school. It was a tough workout. I feel like I have been struggling with the heat more than usual lately. I've been drinking water during school but I guess it's just that hot. Finished strong, good workout.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge. My left calf was super tight and painful from yesterday's workout. I stretched it good and rolled out last night but it didn't loosen up I guess.

6.5 easy w/8x100m strides afterwards in the afternoon. I felt much better in the heat today than I did yesterday. Also my calf felt better than it did this morning. Still a little painful, but better.

Workout at the region course in the afternoon. 2.5 mile warm up (plus another .5 mile because I had to run to the bathroom), 2 mile power run, 2 mile cool down. Pretty hot but a good workout. I felt pretty relaxed and that was good.

3 in the morning to the bridge before leaving to go to the Nebo Invite at Salem Hills. 

We got to the race around 2:30, but the boys varsity race wasn't supposed to be until 6:00 so we just watched some races and hung out in the high school until it was time to warm up. We got in a good 2 mile warm up with some strides on the field. The race started and I got out pretty good, but things got pretty crowded coming out of the gate to the football field. I just tried to stay relaxed but didn't want to lose connection with Josh and Jaiden like I did at Woodbridge. I was able to stick with them and we came through the first mile somewhere around 5:10 I think. Second mile was pretty relaxed too, and Jaiden led us and a bunch of other guys in a pack through in around 10:20. I could feel it in the third mile and might've tensed up a bit. Josh started to separate from the pack so I went with him. We passed a lot of people on that last mile and finished strong. We ended up 2nd as a team to American Fork again, they had 24 points to our 87. Not a bad race for us, but I know we will do better. I'm excited for next week at Cedar, it is probably my last chance to go sub 15:00 this year.

Ran on the state course this morning with the guys. State is almost here! It was sweet because it was raining on us pretty hard up there. Good way to wrap up the week. Next week should be a good week of training and a fun race on Friday.

Workout in the afternoon over by Coach's parents'. Warmed up 2 miles then did 4x1 mile dirt repeats, 4x200m finishes, then a short cool down. I felt pretty good, but I had a side ache for some reason and that was making it a little hard to breathe.
