Desert Chiva Running

615am- Good morning run. Connor Arnell was there cuz stopping in stg on his way to arcadia so he ran with us. We had a decent turnout for a morning run. It was nice, we ran a bit quicker than usual.

3pm- After the early out today I went home, ate hot dogs and watched House md. Its a pretty good show. Then went to practice and did a good workout. It was 800-1000 at goal 1600 pace followed by full recov and 3 sets of 3-4 400s at various paces. Me and preston hit the first 1000 right on. The first set was cheese, second set I did 3 and it was getting hard. Last set I hit all 4 at goal 1600 pace and it was freakin tough. Nothing more satisfying than jello legs after a sweet workout tho. 

weights after. I lifted 1 and a half meskerums

615am- 4 miles with the boys. we discovered tiny tim

3pm- 7x20sec sunrise hills. they sucked and i was tired but they hurt good. felt a little sore from yesterday. After we ran the youngsters meet. It was dope. jk it was hot and windy.

615am- 30 easy. felt good. found out that im not in the 4x800 anymore

3pm- pre race 4 miles. We did pre run yoga for the first time in a while. I usually hate yoga in coach's room but it felt super good after, i really needed it. We ran green springs but didnt turn up by the church. When we got back I got some ice and water with jake and skylar. Then I went and messed around on the high jump for a bit

615am-30 minutes easy

6pm- DH multis and distance carnivl- 800m

the 800 was later on in the meet so i jus chilled, watched the meet, and took naps for a while. I warmed up for like 15 minutes about and I felt really tired, the legs felt dead. I spiked up and did some striders. Still felt like taking a nap though. At the start line I was off my game. The gun went off and i got pushed straight to the back. On the back straight right as I tried to get moving some guy cut me off and I had to take a step out onto the concrete. I broke my stride to get behind him and back on the track. I didnt want to move to the outside on the turn so i stuck around there. By 300 in i was in like dead last. Came in 400 at like 104 so i knew i needed to pick it up a bit. Next lap i moved to the outside and passed most of the heat. Negative split by four seconds. Didnt feel very tired after, I started waaay to slow, it happens. When i came back from my cool down coach said "hey nice 400 next time make it an 8". u right... u right coach.

615am- i ran... sike u thought. I slept in, been feeling tired lately. need to get to bed earlier.

9pm- DH distance carnival- 1600

Another great day fam. It looked nice and cloudy for the meet. I was kind of hoping it would rain during my race. Anyways the 1600 was late so I had 5 hours to kill before my race. I did the distance medly, ran like a chill 58 400, got a gold medal (way to go team). Watched my teamates break the curse of the 4x800 record. At like 615 I went for a shakout run with Nick and the freshman. Nick showed us a cool 2 mile warmup loop. Felt good and ready. I warmed up a little more at like 745 cuz the race was supposed to be at 830 but they took long. Got some striders in, some high knees, good to go

I started good up in the front. First lap was chill like 108 felt good. The second lap Sage took the lead and gapped the rest of us. I stuck in with whoever was around me. On the 3rd lap I made a move and passed the group that I was trailing. Got passed up by a few guys between then and the 4th lap. Carson and some guy passed me with like 300 left. I didnt outkick either of them but I stuck right behind them to the finish. Im pretty happy with this race .My last 6 1600s have all been literally 442 so to finally break 440 was dope. It wasnt freaking awesome but it kind of was for me at least since I havent PRed in a year or so. Cant wait to PR more fam

9am- Freakin beast run today. It was cloudy overcast so perfect weather. Me and nick and my dad drove up to the elephant arch trailhead. We ran over to the washington hollow wash and ran up that 4 miles. It was dope. Definitly some hardcore chiva territory. On the way back it started to sprinkle rain on us. Me and nick started a fast finish once we got out onto the trail again. About five minutes in I glanced back towards the canyons we came out of and all i could see is a wall of water closing in on us. We sped up trying to outkick the storm but as we got to the truck we got caught in a straight downpour and got soaked. Best run ive had in a long time. luv runnin
