Out of difficulties grow miracles

AM nice easy three miles in the chilly weather

PM another nice easy three which felt great, then we had striders after which was harder mainly because my shins were killing.  

PM ran a 6 miler today with a 20 min tempo. i was supposed to be hitting 5:40 mile pace and today i think was the closest i have ever gotten to sticking with the right pace the entire time. The main pace i was running was about 6:05 somewhere around there. Unfortunately i couldn't run the Mr. PVHS today so I was on my own to day. I took my coach's advise and take IBuprofun for my shins and i think that it worked either that or the icing and rolling but I'll do all of them again just in case.

AM nice easy three miles with a little more speed 

PM 6 miles today with weights after. Started with hearts warm up and later on a cool down afterwards I did 4*1000's. I was supposed to be hitting 3:27 (this time surprised me how fast i should be going) I did really well (another surprise) with my first time being 3:23 and i was right behind Jason and Matt (yet another surprise) on the rest i knew i had to slow up the pace so i wasn't as close they were 3:25 for the second 3:27 third, and 3:28. I felt so good about how well i ran today. Side aches were a problem during the run but coach helped me out after.( Thanks.) My shins hardly hurt today

AM easy three again with pliles afterwards

PM ran on the ice house trail by mustang pass. At first i thought the big hill at the beginning wasn't that bad, that thought ended when the hill kept on going up and up and up and up. My thighs were killing and i almost tripped and fell on my face, then my shins were hurting after the run, a lot more than yesterday, so pretty much not a good run for me.

AM nice slow 3 miles

PM 8 miler with 30 min tempo at 6:00 min pace, i stayed really well at that pace for about the first half of the run. I was up with Matt for the first half and then i fell back a little then we stayed the same pace for the rest of it. My shins were hurting but not too bad today, did a little bit of icing and stretching with my shins along with some of the team and they don't hurt as much anymore.

AM ran 3 miles again this morning with pliles after and i thought i was going to be the only guy freshman but Paul just ran a shorter distance so i didn't see him

PM Ran a 7 miler with old man hills, and weights after, we really mixed up the workout today  we ran 1×800, then 2×400 and finally 4×200. It was quite fun to see how well i could stay up with the faster guys. I wasn't right up with them but not too far behind at the same time. My shins were off and on all day but it hurts the most right after a run just walking on it, recently I have been icing them though and it probably has helped more than I think

AM ran a bitter cold three mile for the morning run

PM Today was a time trial with hearts warm and cool and striders after. I ran the 800 and i think i did pretty well with a time of 00:02:25. I wasn't sure if that was good or not but i was 11 seconds off from my cosmin test time. But oh well. I wasn't sure how to run it either being the first time in a long time to race the 800. striders wen well

PM- ran a 8 miler with a 30 min tempo again it was a lot easier than the last couple of tempos. It was probably easier today because about 25 seconds was added to my AT time. It was 6 min pace flat but now it is 6:25 I ran 6:15 pretty much the entire time except around 3/4 of the way done when I was trying to fix a shoulder ache and slowed down a bit but quickly sped up to the right pace again. We had weights after and now my legs are really sore. Today was the first day that my shins didn't hurt at all, it was way nice.

PM- 6 miles easy to middleton today, it was easier the way there to the turn around than on the way back. I enjoyed not having to do a workout today and shins more of a problem today but only after.

AM- Morning run today wasn't that cold which was nice

PM- went on the prospector trail for 5 miles, lots of fun and no real problems with my legs all though they hurt a little going on a couple of big hills. 

 Ran my LT with jake and it went pretty well didn't have any problems but towards the end of the LT  I slowed down on a big hill and got a side ache we ran from Pine View to Jake's house

Ran 5 and a quarter miles to old man hills. Did 4×400 and 4×200. started out nice and saw an ambulance, a fire truck, and a cop car all in one place. I din't really know what it was but saw someone from the ambulance with one of those stretcher things, so started out pretty interesting but on the hills i had a hard time keeping my legs going and i just couldn't really go very fast. After the run my shins hurt a bit. 

AM just an easy 3

PM 4×1000 and 2×300 wasn't too hard today and I had to keep slowing down so i wouldn't be going to fast, well, that didn't work on my 1000 i was supposed to be hitting 3:43 but my times were all too fast with 3:35, 3:38, 3:41, and 3:38. It is just my nature to try and go faster than i should and i need to work on that. My 300 times were 00:52 both times a little harder and short distance is not really my thing but still fun

4 miles easy this afternoon, sort of, my legs were so tired for some reason. The run today seemed even harder than the one yesterday even though there was a workout. Although my legs were tired they didn't hurt which was way nice. Weights after

AM-pretty cold three miles in the morning

PM-easy three miles with striders after today, lots of fun, felt really good. we did our vertical today and mine was 22'' which is one less inch then last time but still pretty cool. Striders something on my hurting really bad but just ran through it and it went away. really good running day. 

Cold, cloudy, and really really windy is what describes my eight mile with a 30 min AT. I went on the virgin river trail for the eight miles. It was easy because i was just doing well on my run, yet hard because the wind was blowing at me the entire time. Also saw 200 ducks right by the river real cool. Legs didn't really hurt at all today except a little sore on my quads.

AM- pretty chilly morning run

PM- Ran an easy three great run, after we did three other events in track that included hurtles, high jump, and shot put. I think I would do pretty well with the high jump and the hurtles if i work at it, as for the shot put i need a lot of work to be good at. striders after.
