Desert Chiva Running

Footlocker West- Seeded Boys

What a fun time. So when we came to check in yesterday it was discovered to us that the track, stadium, athletic building, and all of the surrounding fields were destroyed and under construction. It only changed the course by the start and finish but also it kind of made it not feel like footlocker. Me logan and carson were in the seeded boys race and we just had a time hanging out and watching races for all morning.

It was like 80 degrees by the time seeded boys got going. The start of the race was all on asphalt as well as the finish so i took my spikes out for this one. it was garbage that they made me start back because there was plenty of room on the front line. The start was pretty good but as soon as we hit the dirt everybody like stopped and started going slow. Through that section untill the valley loop it was really physical and I couldnt go fast there was too many people. valley loop was faster but still just was around mid pack. from there it was just tough and slow. those hills just are so sucky. resevour hill was probably my worst one. then my finish on the asphalt was just tough and hard to find that motivation to go hard. 

last highschool xc race ever. twas just awesome and dusty and great. we got dope backpacks and chilled and enjoyed the great state of california . the end

3pm- 30 minutes easy first run back. my break was fantastic. I love not running. but also its nice to get back into it again cause I like track. met a new kid luis. I described all of episode 18 of season 3 of 24 to carson because it is the most epic one ever. 

3pm- day 2, 35 minutes 15 on road 15 on turf with 8 form striders. had good discussion about how oceans and rivers freeze.

3pm- day 3, feeling sore. 40 minutes with the boys out to chick fil a. First region 9 basketball game tonight was lit. our student section was weak and thats sucks but we cheered hard as heck and the guys played hard too. first win of the season. proud of them, i thought they were going to suck.

1215pm- still foofing sore from starting back up. ran dino cliffs with roger. it snowed last night and today was a great day for a desert trail run. snowy desert is by far my favorite landscape. good chill run

3pm- christmas day run in cedar. Ran from my grandparents house to the c trail in the snow and ran up that mutha. some fool had gone up there on cross country skis lol. there was a bit of tracks in the snow to follow but it was really icey and slippery. after a while the ski tracks were the only ones left and then they turned back and i was running in my own footprints. twas a fun run and a good christmas.

ran church rocks with roger and did a short fast tempo up the grapevine and back down. reminder, i dont run with a watch so mainly my lone runs and workouts are based off of feel and estimations.

barrel roll with my dad. been enjoying some nice trail runs with him over the break

ran from my house to telegraph, then up washington parkway, then back to my house. worked on form and ran fast. on my pickup on the parkway i extended it all the way up the hill and ran it hard. probably foolish since it took 5 min of slow jogging to recover from.

mustang pass. 

easy run by my self
