PM: We did a 2 mile warm up then headed for the starting line. I was racked with mixed emotions of will i do well and how bad its going to hurt. But in the end it all was good. The gun went off and me trev corey and ben went to the front. I led the pack for the first mile and  a quarter. Then Corey came in and took off in front of me. Trevor droped back eairlier so it was just me and ben. I came around the last turn to head to the track and just let it all out! :) I ended up taking second to corey and in front of ben. Our boys killed at this meet with 21 points. :)

PM: A really easy 4 before we had our high schools club rush. Im super excited for Hurricane this weekend.! :)

Gel Kayano 14's: 56.5

HURRICANE INVITATIONAL! :) This is my favorite race of the whole year, and thus far in my career as a high school runner. We started out with a 2 mile warm up. During the warm up i was thinking of all the things that i need to acomplish during the race. When we got to the line i was perfectly ready. I wasnt even as nervous as the canyon view meet. When i started i took off with Hayden Karl and a cedar kid. But at the top of the hill decided not to chase them. My first mile was a bit to fast. 5:03 But the rest of the race i did really well. I shook a cedar kid off my back and brought up Corey and Trev to pack together. The last sprint was so much fun. I ran basically exactly what i wanted to. And corey and trevor were just a few seconds behind me, making it possible for us to win the meet. So we won the meet thanks to our great coach and all that he has us do.  2-0 baby!!

Today i woke up feeling just fine and ready to race. No leg problems. Just a little worn out from the week. When we got to the park where the race took place i started to get that nervous feeling. But now that i think about it i actually like that feeling. :) So the race started and i was in first till about after the first 800. I just wanted to get out. The race felt good, i really had to work though  whew! But all in all i didnt beat trevor or kimz they were a few seconds ahead but i did beat the cedar kid that i needed to beat! ha ha Im really a lucky person to have such a great varsity team! :)

PM: Cedar! This was just an over all alright race! :) ha ha nothing to special. I took off just a little slow, but i was just way tired! Wasted! The first lap felt like the last! Comming around for the second lap i got some really bad shin splints! So i had to slow for those a little bit!  But ya not very satisfyed with this race, but enough to get to bed with out to many troubles.

AM: Just an easy AC with Coach,decka,kimz,willy, and me. It felt so good to get all the junk out of my legs! :)

PM: Just hit a really easy 6 before leaving for the mountain. :)

Gel Kayano 14's: 109.75

PM: Hill work outs today on Cedar mountain. There is this huge steep hill right near our camp, and i ran that 10 times. I was really breathing with the altitude at about 8500 or what ever it is up on haris flats. But just a nice hard work out.

Gel Kayano 14's; 114.75

PM: Me and Coach Blair did the swains creek 6 with a 1 mile cool down after. I really like this run, the first part is a huge hill, then some steady hill, then its basically down hill the rest of the way home.
