3 miles with Landon. This lady honked at us and told us to get out of the middle of the road so that was fun. Got back and did pre meet. Strides, 2X400, starts. 400s were a little fast, 61 and 63. Cooled down to 8 and almost got ran over, pretty eventful running today. Biked for 10 min after

Warmed up 2 miles. Gun went off and I got out horrible, ended up near the back for the first 2 laps both slow especially the first one. Move in third lap and just kept moving. Won the second heat with a 4:29, 10th overall. Wanted to qualify for state but today was not the day. Felt like I couldn't get my legs to move and I wasn't all there mentally. We cooled down with the LP guys, finished up with my bro.

Supposed to go trail running with my bro tomorrow so I did the workout today. Didn't feel like doing it on the track so I rode my bike to the pit and did it on dirt trails. 2.25 mile warmup, then 3 sets of 400, 200 with 2 min rest. Splits were 66, 31, 64, 31, 63, 32. Didn't really feel any effects of Saturday's race. Cooled down around the pit to 10. Rode home, hit 10 miles on the bike for today

Ran Bonneville Shoreline for the first time. It's a sick trail with some good hills and a nice view of the Draper temple. Was going to go 9 but we got lost so it ended up being 10, around 8 minute average pace. Never want to run on roads again

Long day of driving. Finally got to Connor's aunt's house and ran. Did a sick 8 mile loop with Thom and Papa Heaps with Connor biking alongside. Felt surprisingly good, 7:00 avg pace. Really fun run, there's some nice plants and mountains and stuff around here.

Went to Occidental College and did pre meet on their track. 2 miles, strides, 400s in 63 and 65, starts, got to 4. Thom talked to the coach and he showed us around a little. Really cool school, even tho it's tiny and division III. Did 4 more after to get to 8 for the day

Race: Arcadia (1 Miles) 00:04:25

Warmed up 2 miles and checked in. I led off in 4X1600 invitational, then Collin, Thom, Connor. Started pretty good but ended up near the back/middle after 200m. Ran there for a while then started moving up. Kicked it in, around 10th place when I handed off to Collin. Everybody killed it after that, especially Connor who out kicked a guy to get fifth. So we got some pretty sick medals. My split was 4:25, slowest split on the team but I'm really happy with where our team finished. Proud of all the guys, especially Collin who has run huge PR's the last 2 races. Know I could've run harder, I was too conservative at the start and had some left when I finished. Was there mentally just didn't challenge the limits physically. Not the time or performance I was looking for at Arcadia but this race wasn't about me, it was about the team and we killed it together. 4.5 mile cool down.

Warmed up 2.5 miles and checked in. Gun went off and I settled in around the back and let everyone pass until me and Connor were basically in dead last. It was a fast race so I just let the pack carry me. When Connor went, I tried to go with him but couldn't. He ended up in 2nd with a 9:07 so huge shoutout to him! I tried to stay on pace and hold on the last few laps, passed some people and finished in 18th. Got a 9:14 which is a PR. Felt strong and but had stomach problems before, during, and after the race so I need to get that taken care of. Cooled down 4.5 miles and watched the invitational which was sick. 

Shoutout to the Heaps for letting me come here with them, what nice people. And shoutout to all those fellow bloggers who raced, you the real MVPs. It was a great week

9 miles at 6:50 pace including strides. Felt really good and got to chat with my boy Nug for awhile, he's doing hecka mileage cuz he's gonna run a marathon and go under 3 hours so shoutout to him. Did 30 min on the bike after and got rolled out by Collin. Then balled with the Hinkles. Had a team dinner then balled again. Ice bath in the evening then strength training.

Warmup to the cemetery. Did 6X1 min up airport. Me and Collin went hard the first 4, maybe a little to hard cuz I was feeling it. Pushed through the last 2 tho and finished strong. Glad I was able to keep it together mentally when I was drained physically. Cooled down to 9 with Thom, one mile barefoot on the turf. 20 min on the bike and got swole later

Me and Collin decided to drive down to Draper for a sick trail run. Ran on the corner canyon trails from camp. The rain felt so great and the view was amazing. Sick run, killer hills, talked about some deep stuff when we weren't out of breath haha Shout out to Collin for letting me come, he is one cool homie

10.5 miles by myself with pre meet on the road. Went to AF and ran around the golf course. It was really pretty and it reminded me of why I love running. Didn't start feeling good until after mile 3 but after that I was going at a comfortable pace. 400s were hard but slow because I'd already ran 8 miles. Got back to the high school and did some starts on the track. Biked for 10 minutes. Feel like I've picked up the training successfully and my body if feeling good so I'm excited to keep it rolling. Mile tomorrow, ready to throw down

Did a 2 mile shakeout with some pickups during class then biked 5 min. Got to the meet and warmed up 1.5 miles. 20mph wind and under 45 degrees made for a tough race. Got out where I needed to and chilled there for two laps. Then Collin made a move and I let him go. Kept grinding and passed Joe and Zack in the last lap, Collin got me by half a second. Hard race, didn't really draft because of my position and felt kinda tired and slow. It was ok tho for the conditions. Cooled down to 10 on the Murdock canal trail I think

Drove to the Herriman trails with my bro to run. Pounded up this monstrous mountain the first mile then went right back down it. Ran up the infamous motha cussa and pushed hard for the half mile that I died when we raced the course. Picked it up the last few miles and ended up being 7:35 average pace. Felt good except for stomach problems towards the end. Really like the trails there, want to go back and go farther on some of them. Wish I could go on trail runs everyday

Drove to Dimple Dell Park with Collin, Guppy, and Dallin. Ran on the trails there and it was fun to have a sick group. The trails are epic with some nice hills to get the quads burning. Took it pretty easy the first 7 miles and picked it up the last 2, 6:45 and 5:50 (strides). Saw Alta so that was cool. Checked the spring and it's still not on :( Went to Roxberry for smothies then did abs and hips. Upper body later tonight

3 mile warmup and strides. Workout was 12X400, first 4 slower than mile pace, next 4 at mile pace, last 4 faster. Rest was 2:30, 2:45, 3:00 and 4 in between sets. First 4 were 68s and 69s. Next four were 65s and a 66. Last four were 63, 62, 61, 61. Jogged a 400 in between everything. Felt really good, first 2 sets were comfortable, last one hurt but I pushed through. Confidence just keeps building. 1.5 mile cool down then 10 min on the bike, abs, and lower body.

Did a loop with Thom that hit Lone Peak and AF high school, ended up being longer than I thought. About 11 miles then strides to get to 11.5, 7:00 avg pace. Felt pretty great not sore or anything. My body has been taking this season's workouts and mileage really well. Biked 20 min with one set of 5 min 50%, 1 min all out, 5 min 60%, 1 min all out. Took it a little harder so it was probably about 70, 80 percent. Did some wall sits then upper body lifting

12 min biking during class, watched some of Little Rascals so that was fun. My dad came and picked me up and me and my bro went trail running in Saratoga. It was sick, 2 huge hills but other than that pretty gradual. 8 miles at 7:30 average including 4X1/10 mile buildups. Slightly downhill on those, really got the legs moving and worked on turnover. Stretched and rolled out

3 mile warmup then some strides at the pit. Did one 400 there, jogged to the cemetery and did one there, 64 and 65. Cooled down to 7.5 with 3 "starts" on the road. Biked for 5 min

2 mile warmup. A little windy and cold but no rain yet. Got out good and worked to hear the front but went out in a 70 again. Tried to make up time, move up and kick but that didn't work very well. Barely outkicked Justin from Lone Peak to get 4th. Legs felt flat and tired, couldn't really get moving. I also need to recognize when the race is going out slow and take the lead if I need to because I hate races when it comes down to the kick. Started to cool down but they were doing awards so I had to go back and get my medal, then finished to 2 miles. Sat around for a while, got some gold sunglasses, a headband, and a poster all for free from Brooks, that was sick. Then warmed up a mile for the 4X800. I led off and got in an okay position, passed a couple people and ended up in third, 2:03. Felt strong, had a lot of adrenaline before and during. Happy with the time and effort in the rain and after the mile. And our team finished third and got medals! No cool down after just cleaned up and went home.

Ran by myself cuz everyone else was going hecka slow. Did a pretty hilly run, including airport, the dip, killers, and the pit. Felt good after the first 2 miles, did some strides towards the end. Average pace for the 10.5 was 6:50, good training today. Biked for 20 min with 1 set of 5 min hol climb, 5 min downhill. Rolled out and lifted upper body with Austin

2.5 mile warmup. Workout was 3 sets of 300, 200, 100 at 800 pace with 90 sec rest and 5 min in between sets. Went kinda fast cuz Collin and Kris were pacing at about 1:50 pace. So that got me mad, good thing tho because my legs were feeling tired today so that got me motivated. Splits were 44, 30, 14, 43, 29, 14, 43, 28, 13. Still fired up on the cool down, so I went sub 7 for 4 out of 5.5 cool down miles. Biked for 20 min with 1 set 90, 60, 30 with 90 sec rest. Squats, calf raises, and lunges after.

Went trail running with Tyson. Found a sick trail by AF canyon. Had some crazy hills and a huge mountain at the end, switchbacks up that and it was killer. That mile ended up being 11:15. Turned around and found our way back, surprisingly cuz there were a bunch of different trails. Sketchy run, really rocky and there were multiple parts along the mountainside that I couldn't look down. Also there was freshly burned firewood on this lookout and a cave with a water bottle in it so that was freaky. Did 4X1 min pickups on the road with 1 min rest when we got back. 8:50 average for 10 miles, quads and hampstrings are painfully sore already. Fun run, got the heart rate up and really good hill training.

Drove up Provo Canyon to Deer Creek Resevoir/State Park. Ran on the trail by there and brought back some memories from XC camp. It's a really sick trail cuz it has a nice view of the lake and the mountains. Saw an angry goose that was hissing and looked like it was about to attack us. Waved to the people on a train and one lady waved back so that was cool. Nice, easy run, sick to run on trails with my bro even though I basically just talk his ear off. He held up great today, averaged 7:15 pace. He's leaving on Saturday for Oklahoma to work for the summer, I'm going to miss these kinds of runs with him. We're going tomorrow tho for the last time before he leaves

Last trail run with my bro before he leaves for the summer. Went to Dimple Dell in Sandy. Third time running there, this time was by far the best. Did a backwards loop around the whole park then went under the bridge and did a little out and back to get to 8. Each mile was faster then the previous one, starting out with 8:10 and finishing sub 7 with 2X200 for pre meet, around 32-33. Average pace for the run was 7:20. Felt comfortable and relaxing, really beautiful scenery and cool trails, love the hills too. Going to miss these kinds of runs with my bro but hopefully I can do them with teammates. Perfect way to spend my last day with Tyson before he flies out tomorrow

Warmed up 2.5 miles with Dallin. Got out good near the front and held that for the first lap. Tried to go the second lap but wasn't feeling it, legs felt tired. Gave it everything and outkicked a guy at the end. Not the time or place I was looking for. Cooled down 7 miles with Collin, 1 barefoot. Went to Runners Corner and picked up some form books that Hawk recommended, one of which hasn't been published so I'm marking it up, stoked for that. Had Prom tonight, definitely the highlight of today
