Out of difficulties grow miracles

AM-felt good but legs were still a little sore and tired.

PM- usual half mile warm them 1.5 mile warm today we were doing 1000's at a hard pace. I did 5 of them with 3:20 3:21 3:19 3:19 and a 3:07. The last one was faster because Byron and abel challenged us to be within 5 seconds of them or we would have to do another one and I was really tired and didnt want to have to do any more so I pushed and was only 4 seconds behind. I was with the top guys the whole time so it was felt pretty good.

6 miles with a 2 mile tempo in the middle. At first I was planning on doing 7 put I decided to do 6 for a couple of reasons. Once I got to the 3 mile mark I was felling pretty poopy and I hadn't even started the tempo yet and also because the neat little trail I was on ended right at 3 miles so I had to turn around. My tempo pace was 6:10 to 6:15ish but I had to really push to do even this. Hard run but not a bad run.

AM started out pretty stiff but by the end was feelin good.

PM another cold 1200 day. We had 4 of them and my times were 3:58 3:59 3:56 and 4:03 unfortunately I slowed down on my last one but overall it was a pretty good workout. I really surprised myself today with my times, they would have been much harder to get if coach hadn't been there running with me I really noticed how important pushing each other is. I wasnt with him on the last one and that made a huge difference in the run. Anywho very accomplished run in my mind

AM- freezing cold morning run today

PM- 7 mile loop around shnobki. Not very sore but my knee was hurting a little bit.

AM- another freezing cold run and today the soreness caught up to me and I was feelin the pain in my knee again

PM- started with our usual half mile the 1.5 mile and then started the workout it was 400's starting with the time of 1:20 then we had to improve one second every time and if you didnt make it twice in a row we had to stop. There was 1 or 2 I didn't make it but didnt finish till 1:10 so I did 11 in all. Wasn't sure how well I was gonna do since I was so sore but ended up doing pretty well and was one of the last 6.

AM 3 mile easy

PM- 5 mile easy with striders

AM- showed up a little late so went pretty fast to catch up

PM- after a long ride up to american fork we went for a easy 3 I was expecting it to be hard because of stiffness but I felt so good it was just awesome. Plus we went into a cemetery at night nice run

Warmed up for ever about three miles then watched the girls race and then got ready to race.

RACE: started out which felt really slow but was an ok pace. The whole race I was running with reed paul and matt and we all switched back and forth leading I ended up finishing in the back of the pack right behind paul. Good race

AM coldest run yet for me just because I didn't wear a jacket. It was really fast day today as well but still good.

PM- 3×1200s today and a pretty good workout. Times were 3:50, 3:53, and 3:55. Although each one was slower it felt like every one was much harder than the last. The times surprised me today and it wasn't something that I thought I would be able to do. On the first and second one I led for a little bit and that was really weird... awesome, but weird. Good workout

AM 3 miles

PM 5 easy then striders

AM 3

PM dog pound and 200s

AM easy three but not so easy

PM easy three and for the first time ever it was actually easy. Felt really good todayand excited for the timed mile tomorrow.

AM morning run was very quiet today with only 4 guys and coach warmer and a bit easier

PM had been hurting all day today in my shin so I wasn't expecting much out of me today but man, my race was awesome! My time was 4:49 which is a 13 second pr. I got 8th on the team too. My first split was a 1:10 and I'm not sure my other splits but I think they were 2:23ish then 3:37ish and then of course 4:49

I really did well at pushing when it hurt today and plenty of times it felt like I was gonna pass out, I realized it was mental and kept movin onward. This was definantly one of the best physical amd mental races I have ever done. Way proud of what I accomplished today

AM a better turnout than yesterday but also faster

PM recovery run today so it was 4 miles easy and striders after. The run was a good one and it was a pretty easy going pace too. Good ruh
