Desert Chiva Running

pre race

6am- 30 easy

5pm- Cedar Invitational- Varsity boys

Nick didnt race today. I started in good position and stayed racing good for a while. Basicly I just chilled the whole race. I havent raced gutsy from start to finish in a while. i was 4th on the team (not counting nick who would have been in front of me as well) coming onto the track. Then Skylar comes sprrinting past me and Carson going hard with him. I knew I had to beat them so I did- only mentaly tough thing I did all race. I raced well but I didnt break out of the egg sack. 

 PV won and we all shared a victory powerade that Dallen found on the track. We didnt get much cooldown but we had to leave so we will just add it to tomorrows run. I heard that Preston, me, Carson, Skylar, and Jake all came in within 5 seconds of eachother. So I dont think we really helped coach out in deciding who to run at region. Glad I dont have to make that decision. When we got home the PV vs DH game was going but me and Nick picked up some costa vida and went home and watched the game on tv. Gotta say, today was a good day

Got up early to go help with the marathon at prestons aid station. Me nick and Jake went for a run early before any runners started coming through. We ran on some dope trails. My right IT band hurt pretty bad and also my calf and Jake was having problems too so our added 15 minutes from yesterday sucked. The marathon was beast. 

6am- 4 miles easy

3pm- 40 minutes/5.3 miles with allout 1600 delayed by lighting. I did decent and put good effort into it. I just need a couple more good workouts to get me back into a groove and bring my times back down where they should be

3pm- 62 minutes/9 miiles. after about 50 minutes my knee hurt like hell so no striders. I dont think it will be a problem but it did make todays run not very enjoyable. I ate dos avacados after.

6am- 30 easy

3pm- 7 miles/ 15 minute tempo 10x100/100. good hard workout

6am- 20 

3pm- 30. Both easy chill runs today

6 miles w/ 16x20sec sunrise hills sucky sucky sucky

45 minutes/ 6 miles easy

felt sucky today not gonna lie

eezy

5.7 miles / 16x50-50s. I felt beast in the warm but slow and sucky in the workout which was supposed to be real fast

7am- early shakeout run around sandy. I felt really good and chill. my legs felt nice and loose and ready to destroy. I got a nice breakfast, we didnt have to leave till like 1030 so I hung out, drank some water. A lot of water. It was really windy when we got to the park and that worried me a bit cuz I dont like wind at all when I run. Chilled and watched races and tried to stay relaxed and ready to go.

130pm- 3A State boys

We got all warmed up and headed to the start. we got some striders in and prayed and jeez the countdown thing they do gets my adrenaline up for real. The plan for the race was to start out slower (not really my style) and stick with Carson, get him starting a little faster, and then stick with him as he moves up throughout the race. At like 150 meters mitch got tripped and preston ran into him but he bounced right back up. Carson was right behind me, skylar was right in front of me acrossed the top after the cement. I was nervous starting that far back but me and carson got moving good down the flower bed hill and caught up to skylar up the steep hill. I fell off Carson across the top hill after the pond. I was fighting hard but it wasnt happening. Skylar got around me and stayed a steady distance in front of me through most of the new section of the course. It was tough. I had a rough finish, my heart just dropped when I glanced at the time but my dissapointment was short lived. I looked over and saw my brother with the finish tape over his shoulder and found we got the second place trophy so I was pretty happy

We took some pictures and got a beast trophy. I was way happy that nick did so beast. I cant really beat my self up to much because hey ive had a not good season but I did as much as I could so I have to accept it and get better. Ive got 2 and a half more years left so no stress. and I doubt we'll be 2nd for much longer

6am- 30 minutes/4miles easy. me and jake talked about our bucks which we shot

3pm- 72 minutes/9.5 miles w 121121 pickups and striders after. It felt good but I was tired. I drank too much water after beccause it was so refreshing but it made me feel sick for striders. Julien gave me free pokemons to trade with lanee. My deck is becoming strong i think.

6am drivers ed sucky 

3pm easy 30 around the town. Today was nicks birthday so we went to dinner and I drank soda. it was great.

450am- early run. I ran it fast than usual

450am- me and my bro julien ran in the darkness and it was beast and relaxing. the roads were wet I think it rained last night

3pm- 30 minutes easy 

6am- beast morning run

3pm- halloween ice cream run today. Nick took all the costume stuff so I was lame and didnt dress up. but I did catch a huge colorful spider in a pokeball.

am- we drove up to cedar today to watch the big sky conferance chamionships and do a workout at the park. It was cold at first but it was perfect for the workout. We did 5min of tempo and 10x400s @less than 5k pace with 2 min recovery and it was pretty hardcore but we did good. The races were beast and it was a fun day. I hung out with macen and dylan later and we watched walking dead and skateboarded and watched utube snowboarding vids. that was my halloween
