| 3 in the morning to the bridge. 5.25 easy on the trails in the afternoon. Felt pretty good except for a slight pain in my knee at the start, but it went away after about a mile so that was good.

| Fun 3 miles in the morning to The Spectrum. It snowed last night and it actually stuck to the ground, crazy right!? Took advantage of it and wrestled John and Ben in the snow and ended up with a handfull in my face. Warm up and cool down with a fun partner relay today. Laynee and I totally kicked trash! Really cold though, I didn't bring gloves so my hands were throbbing. I feel bad for people who live where it's this cold everyday during winter!

| Left to the Footlocker course this morning to pick up our bibs and jog the course. Did some striders afterwards. It felt really good out there, the race tomorrow is going to be sweet! Went to the Santa Monica Pier later today and hung out on the beach a little bit. We saw Harrison Ford on the pier filming some commercial or something. Pretty cool!

| Got up early this morning and headed over to the course. Watched some races for a little bit then started warming up to get ready for my race. Jogged around at the starting line some more to stay warm and then lined up to race. The gun went off and I got off the line pretty good, when the course narrowed onto the trail I was probably somewhere between 30th and 40th place and just kept trying to move up when I could but still I stayed pretty relaxed. I think I crossed the first mile around 5:05 and then we hit the switchbacks. The uphills were pretty tough throughout the race but I could really catch my breath and relax again on the downhills. When we got down the hill I heard Coach say I was in 14th and I saw that I was still pretty close to the leader, probably within 10-15 seconds. Passed a few more runners going up poopout hill. Just kept trying to stay relaxed on the flat section behind that hill. When we got to resevoir hill with about half a mile left I made my push and moved into 3rd. I was able to hold onto that position and finished 3rd. Really good race for me and a confidence booster going into the track season. This is definitely one of my favorite courses too, I always seem to run well here. Coach told me later that I was 33rd overall in all the races, so hopefully I can keep things going and qualify for nationals next year. It's going to be tough but it's definitely something I want to work towards.
Long drive back home after the race. We got stuck in the gorge and had to spend the night on the bus. It ended up being around 18 hours on the bus drive, 12 hours stuck within 20 miles from St. George. Let's just say I'm glad to be home!

| 5 miles easy today with Darian. First time running for a couple of weeks so it was an interesting run.

| 6 miles around Webb Hill today. Went and lifted weights with my dad yesterday so I was way sore on the run, my quads were dying on the downhills!

| Merry Christmas! 5 easy later in the day with Darian. Finally decided to put a GPS watch on my Christmas list, so I got to play with that a little bit after my run, it's pretty cool having it track all your mile splits and stuff.

| 6 miles today. Did the Webb Hill loop again but from my house this time instead of from the school. My foot was hurting today for the last few miles so that was a bummer. Rolled it out with a golf ball to help it out a little bit but I might just need some new shoes too.

| Went out for 5 miles later in the evening when I got off work. It's surprisingly warm at night once you get going. My foot wasn't hurting at all today so the golf ball helped a lot.

| Worked in the morning so I couldn't get out then, and I didn't end up going until about 6:00. I thought I was going to have sunlight for a little longer so I decided I would run from my house to the school, do the shortened ridge loop, then back home for 7 miles. But by the time I got to the school I could tell that I wouldn't have light for much longer. I thought about turning around and doing the rest on the road but I decided to just stick to my original plan. For the rest of the run until I got back on the road by Hidden Valley, I really couldn't see anything more than 30 feet in front of me, it was pretty sketchy! It all ended up good though and I felt surprisingly awesome on the run.

| Met up with some of the guys again at the school and ran to Jake Powell's house and back. It seems like it's been at least a year since we've done that run. Did some striders when we got back for 6.5 total today.
