lol

5 at lunch today with Connor and Josh at a 7:25 average, went up by trafalga for a 4 mile loop and then did a 1 mile pre meet for the connor arnell invite tomorrow night. Two 400s at goal pace for a 5k, splits were: 82, 79. After that we went five more at a 7:15 average on the rail trail then came back to the school and ice bathed. 

Its nice to be back see yall tomorrow

Lol was gonna get some miles in before the race bc high mileage but I was putting together a fire mixtape so I didnt have time, we have low later this week tho so I should be able to just make one of those low days a high day. Anyways, had a one mile warmup with nug and kobe, and then waited for a hecka long time for josh to get there bc he had the fire mixtape saved on his phone and he showed up late and then we werent even able to get it to work, so all of that time for nothing smh. We started the race around 6:45 and me spencer josh garrison and riley talked before the race about switching off taking the lead every lap, our goal pace was 85 seconds a lap, and after about three laps everyone had fallen back except for me spencer and garrison so we stayed together until the last 800 and held a good pace, but when we hit 800 meters to go, I started my kick and it felt great, I dropped my average pace from 5:40 to 5:10 on those last two laps and beat the entire group that I was with, I was not going to let any of them out kick me. Final time was 17:56 first time under 18 and a 29 second pr so all around an awesome night, went and chilled in garrisons hot tub after with kobe spencer and josh, nice way to end the night.

Roast of the day goes to Connor_Whitechick for posting a pic on insta from the race that I was not in or even told about for that matter #smh

12 miles today with Nathan Thomas and josh at a 7:10 pace, freaking long and I'm probably gonna fall asleep now lol.

2 mile warmup 

2 more miles with connor kobe and thomas

ran to airport and did a sick workout,  three sets of 100, 200, 300 up the hill @2 mile pace with a lap around the grovel in between each set, didnt get my splits bc my watch died lol, but I was within two seconds of connor each time so I know I did pretty good, ran back to the high school to finish up to 10, then went down and watched some state volleyball, it was a good time Lehis volleyball team is for real. 

Ran to utah lake and went underneath the freeway in this sick river thing, 5.5 there and 5.5 back, ran with connor(more or less), nug, thomas, josh, and hinkdog lol it was sick to have him on a long run. 11 total @7:20 average ready to preform well tomorrow and finish the week with 60 miles #theblogcanthandleme

Not my fastest race, I hit splits of 5:49, 5:58 and 5:55, however even though my time was slow I still placed where I should on our team, at 11th and I finally got to wear my sick nike pro combat hyperwarm shirt. I think that I will be able to have an awesome breakthrough at nxr in a few weeks because this last week of training has been insane with high mileage all week with two races and a speed workout, and I am getting in better shape every day, so I look forward to the opportunity. After running today I went with some of the guys to mickey ds and between the five of us we downed 6 gallons of powerade in like 20 minutes so we definitley got our moneys worth out of those one dollar drinks lol. Anyways it was good to have my first ever 60 mile week and first ever complete week on the blog. Its been real

Ill see yall on monday #staycrispy

Nothing too special about today just 6 at a 7:00 average pace. Had some good team bonding during our ab workout today lol thankful for the great teamates I have and That I am healthy and can run #wayup #blessed

Two mile warm up to the cemetery, did whistle hill workout, ran back, it was raining/snowing and Connor got an iPhone yay for Tuesday lol

showed up to practice today and the whole squad was gone so I was like lol today is gonna suck. but I ended up running with dexter, brecken, parker and tanner, and those guys are really cool and they are gonna be with ryan running varsity at lehi next year. It was good to be able to get to know my teammates better, we ran out 2.5 then back at a 7:05 average so all in all a good low distance run. When I got back I found some of the other guys and started to walk over to talk with them and I tripped and faceplanted on the cement lol @abn03, anyways I found out that they had just met in coachs room instead of outside smh. Went and did abs and then called it a day. Hyped af for the speed workout tomorrow

Today was awesome, did a one mile warm up and then we started our speed workout. I was looking at the times for each group in the speed workout and I realized that my time would put me in the second fastest group and I was like h*ck nah!! So I went with the top group for the workout. We started off with a 1600 at goal 5k pace and I ran it in 5:21. we had four minutes of rest between each set and we had to drop out average 400 pace by 5 seconds each set. then we did a 1200 I ran it in 3:55.next was an 800 I got 2:28. Then a 400-67 and we finished with two 200s but we only had two minutes of rest between each of those, I got 31 on both of them.

Cooled down to 7.5 with Connor and then ice bathed like champions kms lol.

I feel confident and ready to PR at nxr and my goal of breaking 17 is right there for me to get which a month ago I thought wasn't possible but I've had some awesome training so imma go get it. Up next after that is medaling at footlocker, so if I can do both of those things I will consider senior xc season a success.

Ran to the temple and back with thomas and mike at a 7:30 pace, today sucked lol

met up with the guys and took the two mile route to the cemetary and then we got a grass mile in and then came back. Left for zona that night and stayed in page, played some mario bros and watched some sick basketball lol.

Drove from page to casa grande. picked up our packet, bought some nike swag, and then ran the course. It was way sick and the grass on the course was amazing. met up with the homies and ran a little with them which was way sick. Then we went and ate dinner at dennys and went to bed.

I slept great friday night and I wasnt nervous at all for the race on saturday which was wierd bc I always panic before races but I felt amazing, loose and hyped. We got to the course and warmed up a mile on part of the golf course. Then we went over and started the race. It was str8 up insane there was so many people in our race and shoving and pushing and dirt I thought I was gonna die first mile,  it eventually spread out tho.

Splits were: 5:28 first mile, 5:37 second mile and a 5:48 last mile finished at 17:47 (pr) it was amazing, stayed in a group with landon spencer and garrison the whole time and it was sooooooo sick lol.

Shout out to the girls team, mama and papa arnell/heaps, coach and greg for cheering great for us, it was cool to feel the energy they gave us.

Also shout out to the boys varsity team for their 8th place preformance, even though it wasnt the place they wanted several of them still had awesome prs.

Ran on state street for three miles then ran back 6:50 pace. It is awesome to have such a great group of friends to run with and spend time with. Im glad I have had the opportunity to run XC for lehi

Warm up for 2 miles with Conner and Nathan, and then started the workout. 6×500s at 5k pace, went faster then that but that's OK bc that's how you get better. 400 splits were 79, 75, 76, 72, 73, 75.
