Born in 97', my liver in 74'

The Michigan workout today as Blake calls it. Idk what the real name for it is, but its 1 mile hard then a 6.5 run/recovery then another mile hard. Murphy wanted all of us to stick together. That is the top 5.

We did the track warm-ups then ran the first mile I was at the back of the pack. We did a good job staying together though. As a group we had to force eachother not to run some of our faster Prs from track. The first split was a 78s at 800 we were 2:37 and at 1200m I'm not quite sure . I finished in 5:13, The front of the pack ran 5:12.

We went straight into the 6.5 mile Best 'But' loop according to Blake. ;) That was pretty painful the first 2.5 miles. We stopped real quick to get water at Storm Mountain Park. Blake and I had to keep telling the group that there is such a thing as running TOO slow. We were mostly successful. We stopped for a sip real quick inside the school then went straight into the 2nd hard mile.

I was pretty confident after 6.5 miles I was ready to repeat a 5:13 or negative split. The first lap was slow. A 82 I think I heard. At the 800m we were at 2:43 or so. After the 800m mark I said to everyone "We have to go NOW." We really picked it up and were able to hold it! It was amazing! I have never been able to hold that kind of pace at the end of a workout or race! At 1200m we hit 4:00 as Murphy told us he wanted to see us passing some people. We still had time to make up. Read and I knew we had to give it everything we raced it beutifully We passed Cubby and almost chased Davis down, scaring him pretty good. We hit 5:13!

We are looking really good! Now we just need 27 more workouts just like that! :)

Am- 4.5 morning miles, 16laps on the track plus the .5 from my house to the track and back. I also did 1.5 miles in powerlifting. So total for the morning was 6.

Pm- We did the track warm-up (2 laps, drills). Then warmed-up an extra 6 laps. The workout was 3x600 max effort with 15 minute recovery. The first one went ok, except that I was about 15m behind 1-4. I ran the first 600 in 1:41.

I got a good recovery and was able to repeat the 1:41. On the second one Murphy said for me (the 5th man) to lead the Team the first 400m I was able to lead at a good pace but ended in 5th again.

Another good recovery. Murphy switched sides of the track to give us a minor wind boost. I was able to go negative split on the 3rd! I haven't been able to do that in... ever! I'm making huge progress and I'm really excited for the rest of the season!

We ended with a 2 mile cooldown. Am-6 Pm-6.5 (BTW, I'm going to bed like rn.)

Jk im not asleep milesplit is a crazy addictive distraction. On saucony Flo 50...

-Conner Mantz ranked 3rd

-Timpanogos ranked very high!

-Byu ranked 14th

-Georgetown 25th!!! I'm not telling Kramer....

Am-Morning run with the team 12 laps on the track and lower loop.

Pm-Mental health run mostly for the Jv runners. We stayed with them and encouraged them to work hard to get on Varsity. 30 mins. I think like 3.75 miles.

10 mile tempo in the lower gully. Uneventful day for me we saw Jordan runners screwing around in the water and the rope swing. So now we know why only one of them is actually good. He wasn't with them.

Pre-Meet workout. Track warm up then another 6laps. 4x400 at "get out" pace (75-80). I feel good about tomorrow's meet. It will be the fastest race this year other than AF grass relays. 

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday is that the Jordan girls were actually running, that's why there girls team is pretty dang good.

Good meet but not a great meet. I'm starting to realize how much my team depends on ME. We tied for 5th lost on a 6th man tie. I lost 2points in the last 120m. My team is depending on me to win. I am the core of the team.

More later.
