Desert Chiva Running

worst run ive had in a while, probably from eating really crappy yesterday and not drinking enough. just had no energy at all.

3pm- Desert Hills Invitational 1600m- boys seeded race

twas super windy but thats ok. I warmed up with logan and it feels lonely without carson and julien we need those guys back. we only had me and logan in the seeded 1600 and I was feeling like where is my team? got some good hydration and such yesterday felt pretty good and ready. 

started out the race alright in decent position but didnt really move anywhere I didnt want to run by myself in the wind jensen took off and some westlake kid. I stuck in with the pack pretty good and moved into good position last lap and with 200 left moved around the pack and then out kicked them all and took 3rd. pretty good race I got 432. slow first lap and not a pr or a state q but still a good race for me in the wind. 

cooled down after the slow heats with the boys. logan moved pretty close to DH so we ran to his house and ate some fruit snacks mm yeah. Got a ride back with carson in the back of his truck. got pretty cold later on. thats it, thats all I have to say for my blog today goodbye everybody.

woke up, ate some oatmeal with berries and walnuts and honey and apple slices for a good breakfast because breakfast is the most important meal of all time except for snacks.warmed up with the 3200 guys to get some minutes and shake out the legs a bit. the boys ran kind of slow again in the 3200. logan did good and ran a 957. jensen and matthew did good. i brought my little three legged seat so that was good for me to sit and cheer. 

1130am- DH INVITATIONAL 800M RUN- boys seeded heat

 me and Evan ran the 800 and I started out decent but you know all the 203 guys that go out too fast trapped me in after the first turn. I stuck in the middle of everyone through about 300 meters then at about 450 to go I moved outside and passed like 10 guys over the next 200. with 200m left I caught the kid leading and dropped him and I was in 1st but it took so much energy to do that shiz and I didnt have anything for the last 100. lil Davis guy passed me :'( twas sad I got second. my time was 1:59.4 . 

I was actuallly super wasted after i mean I really tightened up in the last little bit of that race and I was so tired after. I walked around and jogged a little. I recieved the 2nd coolest medal then got ready for the 4x400. the team this week was jake me evan and logan in that order. Jake did beast. he got sub 58 by 6 seconds lets go. I maintained our place. evan did good. logan out kicked some guy for 2nd place so I got 3 medals this meet how awesome. also got super sunburnt on my forehead. twas a good meet. after I went home and grinded on fortnite with the boys. im getting better. one day I hope to be able to get a solo victory royale. 

6am- long run with 5 min easy tempo 10 min cv tempo and 5x30second hills. tough run today I felt awful and cut my minutes after the hills. went home and ate before I fell asleep. didnt have much going on at school today so I skipped most of it

3pm- easy 25

6am- weights and easy run

3pm- easy 55 with logan mike evan and bryan

6am- workout wednesday. warm and 5min easy tempo, 3x1000 at cv, 4x400 at mile pace, 4x200 at 800 pace, and finished with a 300 at f pace. good workout, had to hit the bathroom after the 400s. got 30,29,29,28 for the 200s and 37 for the 300. 2 minute rec all around

3pm- dealing with a bit of soreness in the sole of my left foot, jogged a little this afternoon then iced and hung out and helped with the youngsters meet

6am- 25 easy

3pm- Dixie Invitational 1600m seeded

started ok kind of slow I think like 107, kept decent position up through 2 laps, pushed up into second behind jensen to start the 3rd lap. I got caught and passed by about 7 guys right before the last lap and I didnt open up and finish good. not good race

thinking back I really got in my own way on that last lap, I wasnt in too bad of position and could have had a good race if I would have finished hard. We are really missing julien and cars

11am- Dixie Invite 800m seeded race

This race ended up like my 1600 yesterday. idk why but I was overthinking in my race. lap one was fine 59 so not bad but I didnt race the 2nd lap and it cost me. my races this weekend were kind of a waste, I probably ran harder in the workout on wednesday. 

good run this morning. after the fartleks I had to stop at the bathroom in the park. running at 530 always screws up my bodies regular schedule. met back up with the guys at DI and finished. 

25 easy in the afternoon

615am- weights and easy run

3pm- hard workout and unfortunately not a good one for me. It was basically a bunch of fast repeats. today it was just more difficult for me to get on pace and on the longer distances I hit a wall pretty bad. still finished the workout as best I could. This workout was a beast though I wish I couldve been on my times at the finish I dont know why my legs werent fresh enough today

am- easy run

pm easy run

am- weights and easy run

pm easy run

pm- easy 30 with handoffs after @uvu track. we ran through the school and up on the parking garage twas fun

9am- Orem Tiger Trials- 1600m second heat

got put in the second heat unfortunatly. got some good decent warmup. the first heat was good and fast which made me bh that i was the 1st seed in the second heat. anyway my race started out slow, around 67. I moved up into first during the second lap and then started moving a bit on the 3rd lap. I was alone at the front and kept pushing through the 4th lap and then some kid blew past me and I held off the rest of them for 2nd in my heat.

Also had the 4x400 later on. I sat around all day in the heat and wind, the weather was just the worst. it cooled off a little for the 4x4 though and we state qualified that despite me running a 54 split. thats about it. im trying to keep a positive mindset but our distance crew is pathetic rn and its tough trying to run good without your boys with you

am- 60 with striders

pm easy run we did a 15 minute loop and a 10 minute loop it was fun
