2nd Year of XC (Senior Year). My best races thus far have come from Nike Regionals down in Pheonix (5K), the Dixie Invitational (800), and the Davis Invitational (1600). I took 8th place in the 1600 and 11th in the 800 at 3A State. Also at state we were in the slower heat of the Sprint Medley and ended up taking 3rd overall, that was pretty legit.

Long-Term Running Goals:
After high school and my mission I think that it would be really cool to get into the St. George Marathon. That is one thing I would like to accomplish in my lifetime. Hopefully I will be able to do multiple. In all I would just like to enjoy the time I run and have some fun experiences with it.
Morning run and after school we did our 4X1000 workout on the track and I needed to average a 3:13 pace and my first one I got a 3:14, second one I got a 3:15, third was a 3:13 and the last one was a 3:11. Good workout, felt good despite the cold wind chill!
Out on the Temple Quarry Trail. It was good, little cold but I felt good. They should call it Ankle Break Trail. Lots of rocks dodged and made it off the trail with no ankle breakage so it was a good day!
3 miles in the morning. Slow pace and it was nice, felt good! For the afternoon we had our AT pace which was 5:40 for myself for 24 minutes. Started off well, ran with Michael for majority of it. I tried to stay with him or else I was gonna fall off. The last part mentally I was having a hard time but stuck it through and did pretty good. I felt good and averaged around 5:35 and under for the pace. These are getting easier as we do them more so that is a plus.
Ran 6 miles. Did old man hills in the middle if it. 4X400.. My first was a 1:10ish, 2nd was a 1:12, 3rd was a 1:10 and last one was 1:11. Felt pretty good! Lifting was good as well. I need to stretch more and keep my legs not so right but it's been a good week!
