Today was not a good day to forget gloves and a beanie. It was freezing and hecka windy. Everyone stopped to stretch at 2 except for me Connor Baller and Josh. Right after that a dog started following us. It freaked us out cuz it was weaving in between us and we didn't know if it was going to eat us alive or be our best friend. He turned out to be really friendly so we named him Rusty and he ran with us for 4 miles. He waited while we went inside my house to warm up and eat some stuff. After that I looked at his collar and it said his name was Bazil so we called him that. We didn't know what to do with him and we didn't want to run back on state street cuz he might've gotten hit. So we just stopped by where we found him and he started going crazy around this house. We knocked in the door and he ran in, luckily it was the right house. So that was sick. Ran the 2 miles back to the high school and did 15 min on the bike

1.5 mile warmup. Workout was 2X1000, 3X800, 4X400 at 2 mile pace with 90 sec in between. For some reason I was thinking we were only doing 2 800s so I stopped after the 400 on the third 800 but I just did it after the 4X400s. Splits were 3:02, 3:06, 2:28, 2:22, 68, 69, 68, 67, 2:21. Felt worn out mentally and physically and the legs were heavy. Fought through it tho and still managed to stay on pace or faster for the most part. Cool down to 7 then 20 min on the bike.

Was going to run today and cross train tomorrow but my ankle was acting up yesterday so I decided to bike today. Wanted to do over an hour so I warmed up, did the workout twice and cooled down, ended up being 90 min. Lifted a bit and got rolled out by Michael. Pretty painful stuff

2 mile warmup and strides. Workout was 4 sets of 200, 400, 200 at mile pace with a minute in between and 3 min. active rest and 15 jump lunges in between sets. Splits were 32, 67, 32, then 32, 66, 31, then 32, 65, 32 and 32, 63, 28. Felt really good and hit the splits I wanted. Cooled down to 6.5, I wore my 1 inch split leg galaxy shorts today and this little kid yelled "Why are you only wearing underwear?! That's bad!!" It was funny. 20 min on the bike after. Good day

Long recovery run to skyridge then by Collin's and back on Center St. Longest run since the first week of November and it felt great. This creeper truck started following me really slow and freaked me out so I started to pick it up but it stopped. After that I saw CiCi's dad which was cool. And when I passed the house I yelled Basil and he barked so that was a bonding moment. Good run, average pace was around 7:10

4 miles mostly by myself cuz I took it slower. Knees and feet felt like crap and idk why. Pre meet strides, 400s were 66 and 65, starts. Cool down to 7.5 with a half mile barefoot on the turf. Air quality was supposedly bad so the guys did some on the treadmill but I didn't care. 20 min on the bike

3 mile shake out run during conditioning. 25 min bike

Got to the oval and warmed up 2 miles. Got in the fastest heat, gun went off and I got out decent, near the middle. Really focused on pushing hard the entire race and not waiting. Fought to stay on the back of the group with some LP guys. Kicked pretty good, couldn't catch them but didn't lose ground. Satisfied with the time and know I can go faster and qualify when outdoor comes. Cool down 4 miles to get to 10 for the day

Air quality is horrible so Thom, Papa Heaps, Michael, my bro and me went to Provo to run. It was much clearer there. Ran on the Provo River Parkway trail which was really icy but fun. Slipped on some black ice right at the start, landed hard on my hip and skinned my knee pretty bad but thankfully that was it. Saw AF on our way back so that was cool. Sweet run, good to get out of Lehi cuz it can get boring

Went to the cabin for Presidents' Day weekend. Ran on the road and was supposed to do a workout but it wasn't in the blog when I checked and we dont have wifi at cabin, so I made my own. But that didn't work cuz my watch died after 2 miles :( so I attempted to do the workout I had planned and just run by feel. Don't know how well that worked but I was still dying. Rough run, happy to get some kind of a workout in

2 mile warmup, 1 on the track which felt weird and then one outside. Got out good but zoned out and lost the pack so I ran by myself for over a mile which sucked mentally. On top of that I could feel the Costa Vida I ate two hours before. Didn't go all out cuz I wanted to save something for finals but I still felt pretty crappy. And I didn't make finals by 5 seconds and 4 spots so there goes that. Oh well, live and learn I guess. 4 mile cool down with some hobby jogger guys and then got some sick potato farmer pics. When we got home, Papa Heaps let us try on some of his boosts and they felt amazing. He said he never ran in them so he gave them to us! Pumped to run in those

Biked to the Hinckleys then to the Murdock canal. Went down the trail a ways and locked our bikes up at a park. Ran 8 miles at 6:45 average pace, felt fresh. Got back on our bikes and rode home. Ended up being 2 hrs with 14 miles on the bike and the run. Wore the glide boosts and they worked great.

The group went pretty slow today so me and Collin left them. Went down Sami's road but Collin turned around at 2.5 and I kept going by myself. Turned around at 4 and started going back. Today was the wrong day to not bring a jacket and I froze. So I used Watson's saying "the faster you run the sooner you're done." Checked out this "trail" but it ended up being someone's driveway lol. It warmed up and stopped snowing the closer I got to the high school which was nice. I decided to go back down through the pit to get to 9 but quickly found out that was the worst decision of the century. My shoes soon became 5 pound mud weights and I didn't want it to get worse so I climbed my way out up the side of the mountain, pretty adventurous I know. Ended up being 9 miles at 6:48 average pace. 10 minutes on the bike and a good roll out session with Collin who also hooked me up with some KT tape, what a great guy

Warmed up 2 miles then did 2 sets of 200, 400, 200 at 800 pace for the 200s and mile pace for the 400s. Lunges before and in between sets, rest was 45 sec and 3 min in between sets. Splits were 28, 68, 31 and 30, 64, 30. First set was a little off but second set was great! Pretty easy workout, it was fun and sick to have Connor Baller there! Cool down to 4 with half mile barefoot. Hit the bikes for 45 min then did some squats and pull-ups to get swole

Went and saw Race in the theaters with my bro. It's about Jesse Owens the sprinter and it got me stoked

Started during lunch cuz I had a date after school. Ran up killers and to the church by skyridge. Stretched and turned around there. Went back and did a lil at the pit and then to the turf for a barefoot .5 mile. Really consistent, 7:00 average pace. Went horseback riding for our date and it was amazing. Saw some deer, bunny rabbits, and antelope. It was pretty sick. Didn't kiss her if anyone was wondering haha I might go back there some Mondays and run while my dad and sis ride. Got back and did some upper body lifting
