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.

Best 5K: 16:28

Best 800: 1:59

Best 1600: 4:24

Short-Term Running Goals:

TRACK GOALS FOR 2014:

Sub 4:20 in the 1600

4:15 in the 1600

Sub 9:50 in the 3200

9:30 in the 3200

PR in the 800

1:54 in 800

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.

AM: 3 miles easy with the team, felt pretty darn good.

PM: 8 miles. 4Xmile. Goal pace: 5:10. 1.5 mile warm up and straight onto the track. Started fast and maybe a little too fast for the first one (5:05). Didn't let that get in the way though just decided to calm down just a little bit for the second one.. Same effort (5:09). Didn't want it that slow but we could just drop it down for the next 2. The next one we started fast moving at 5:00 pace through the first 800.. Then we slowed down a bit the last 800 (5:07). The last one I was just going to go fast through 800 and hold it through the last 8 and that is what we did (4:59). Really good workout, feels good to go fast this early in the season. Good things ahead!

PM: trail run Tuesday. 5.5 out on Chuckawala. Picked it up on the way back from the cliffs and that was sweet. Great trail!

AM: easy three with my boys, always a fun run to arctic circle.

PM: 10 miles. AT tempo. Goal pace: 5:27-32. 35 minutes. Warmed up 2.37 miles which was pretty good, then we just got right into it on our 1.5 mile tempo loop. First 1.5 was 8:13, feeling really good and relaxed. Second loop was a 16:30 (8:17), this was a little tougher but stuck it in physically. 3rd loop was a 24:44 I think (8:14). And this last 1.5 loop is where mental toughness came in I hit the 6 miles at 33:00 (8:16) and only had two minutes left so I pushed down the hill to reach a tempo distance around 6.23. Pace calculator online says it's 5:37, good pace. Big 10K PR since I've never run one as a race.. Just under 35 minutes. Pretty sick workout. Enjoyed it a lot! Cooled down to 10.

AM: easy 3 with the team and had a great discussion afterwards on our book! Love this sport.

PM: 6 miles. Old man hills. 1X800, 2X400, 4X200. Warmed up 2 miles to the hill. Started our 800 I was feeling relaxed and finished it strong (2:28). Next up were the 400's and I ran these tough and fast, they both turned out as 1:07's so that was sick. Last were the 200's and this was some real speed and strength (:32), (:32), (:31), (:31). Shoutout to Cameron Brown on the last 200 making it strong, such a stud! Cooled to mileage afterwards.

6 miles. LT tempo. 15 minutes. Pace goal: 5:02-07. Warmed up a mile, and got into it. No Byron today. Started out strong and was going pace for a little bit, struggled by the turn around but finished super strong. Got 2.79 in the tempo around 5:26 I believe. Good tempo, next week will be better. I'm getting used to the pace. Cooled to mileage.
