Same run as yesterday but only a mile at the rec center. It was a pretty good run, besides Davis and American Fork I am the fastest returning senior for the mile in 5A. Thats a confidence booster, I want to catch all those guys this year. I'm really excited about what I can do this year. I want to be a legit contender for the 5A 1600m State Championship, and I want to win region 3 1600m championship. I have a lot to improve, but I'm a hard worker and I'm determined to give it my best.

Blake, I am looking forward to you becoming one of the best 5A milers in the state too. Just don't rush things and get injured. When is your first indoor race?

Thank you! My first indoor race is January 10th at Utah State University. I'm trying to just get in easy mileage weeks, not too much, Coach Murphy told me to run 40-45 my first week back so I've been trying to stick around there.
