USU

todays run was absolutely horrible!!!!!!!!!!! i had to stop.....i NEVER have to stop! haha i dident drink like any water at all that day and i ran in the middle of the day but im sure that had nothing to do with it..............haha

pretty good run, first half was worse than second half but im still keeping up with the pace. i drank water before i ran this time

woke up early to finish by 7. nice run i kept up the pace. second half was stronger than the first and all that good stuff

early again. the run felt really good, nice weather and a slight breeze. first 5 of the summer and it felt great

awesome run on the grass!!!!! i felt great, could have had something to do with me eating before my run for the first time?

the long hill sucked

seriously had no time, went hikeing in the mountains

pretty good run, what more can i say?

pretty good run, but it was hard starting up. i woke up late and pretty much ran right after i woke up. dident really eat or drink anything.

i ate today, that seemed to help alot. something i have descovered whyle running: it helps me run faster/longer if i just imagine myself in a big race, i dunno why but it does.

life lesson.....none

gotta love the grass runs. 

life lesson: ride bike save gas

pretty great run! seemed like a nice pace and it was good to see Trevor again.

life lesson: pay attention to the life lessons!

sorry!!!:(

the run felt great! i wasent as tired as i thought i would be, espesially after the hill. Ive got down the habit of eating before i run and it definantly helps

life lesson: dont forget to put gas in your jet ski

really fast pace! felt great

life lesson: none AGAIN haha

First run in about a week and a half, and it was tough! But not impossible. Besides the pioneer treck next week i should be able to run every day from now on. And  darn mat is going to Hurrican.......stupid!!

pretty tough....really tough!! i have only ran 5.5 miles in the last week and a half so a long run wasent too easy but i tried as hard as i could. after the hell hole hill (say that 5 times fast) i picked up the pace alot.

life lesson.... dont send a friend request to timmy?

morning run: 5.5 AWESOME! haha kinda, it was tough but after yesterdays run it felt like nothing.

afternoon: 3 it wasent as hot as i though it would be, we kept it nice and easy and it felt great to lift again.....i feel so powerfull....so strong....

i did alot better then i thought i would have considering i dident run most of last week because of the pioneer treck. but me and jarred (who also went on the treck) cept up pretty well, and only fell behind about a hundred yards. did striders after.

woke up really early now im tired..... accidentally ran a mile more then i was supposed to, the math confused me ha. but ran it kinda slow. averaged about a 8 minute pace. afternoon practice was flippin hot!! what am i supposed to do/go for hills tomorow coach?

felt sick

felt sick again, but i feel better

we did some ugly-butt hills but i killed them...so in your face meat grinder!! you shall call me master!!!!!!! i was suprised i held up as great as i did considering how i have been feeling as of late. 

did a nice easy 4 miles for morning practice then went up to XC CAMP!! then did 3 miles up there and it was hard!

the 8 mile run wasent as incredibaly hard as i thought. going up hill 4 miles was very very hard but the last 4 felt fast but relaxed and nice. the sprinkleing rain wasent too shabby nither. 3 miles later that day was a killer though so it was sooo great that coach decided to hound me on my posture haha NOT! but i tried to keep the 'ol knees up anyways.

wasent feeling very good durring the 5 mile run in the morning but the last half was downhill so it wasent too bad. 3 miles that afternoon dident feel too bad though.

last run at camp!! i think that was the motiviation that drove our sore legs haha but the run felt pretty good. i couldent wait to get to lower elevation. camp was awesome despite the rain and crud and how hard it was to wake up each morning, but the underdogs will always come out on top (almost) in volley ball tournaments!! haha nerd wars should definantly be a anual thingy! the pvxc keychain thing is a really great idea too, i'll definantly be trying hard to earn thoes. 2nd time champ in the relays too! thanks coach! i cant wait for next years camp!!

hills, hard!! haha but i stuck with the group

nice barefoot run, no problem

fartlick was tough but it was a good run

i ran with the american fork xc team today and it was pretty different. apparantl;y each monday they do something called a grinder. its a 10 mile run with a 1.3 mile uphill tempo. its sounds a lot harder than it is though because they stopped 4 or 5 times during the run and i didn't have too much of a problem staying with that top 10 or 15 group until the last 1.5 miles or so when they were running pretty fast on the last stretch. i fell behind about a track length or so. pretty good run though

great run again, but dang its like  afxc does all their runs tempo! haha i fell behind the top group a bit, then apparently they stop for a few minutes during their runs and i kept up pretty good for the rest of the run.

a nice and easy 4 mile run and core exercises. bummed that i missed the race yesterday!!

hot, had vision problems and major headaches all day thenceforth. probably hydration issues. i have been slacking this past week a little bit and have been eating tons of junk and beeing a lazy Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language and im sure im going to get slaped in the face later because of it.

just got slaped in the face. the race was simply embarasing. granted i have been a little bit sick with the stomach flu i little but i definantly learned my lesson. i could have pushed alot harder and stuck with the top group but i dident and in the end i just wasent doing what i could have. slacking with my runs these past 2 weeks and eating crap and beeing lazy have definantly screwed me over. its kinda a wake up call haha. no more slacking from now on and i am going to be acting like last year and the first part of summer in terms of dedication and healthy living. i have been excausted these last few days and it has been tough but it could be alot worse so screw you exaustation because im doin my runs!! it has also been very hot so if someone can turn the tempreture down i would appreciate it. on the posotive side the morning run was amazeing.

 exctreamly nervous about races.

morning run was amazeingly fantastic and i felt great the rest of the day.

afternoon was pretty hot and i had a tough time the first part up green springs and fell behind a bit. then after the turnaround i felt good again i pushed up to the group again. im finally feeling less exausted then i have been lately and thats a good sign. lookin forward to morning run tomorow.

morning run was super. after lunch i got bad stomach aces and started getting throw up feelings so coach had me not run in the afternoon kinda bumbed but its so i can get better. hopefully ill be all better by saturday

felt great, ran hard with hunter

felt nice and strong on the warm up and that was a comfort. my attitude for all of the previous races i have ran was pretty stressfull and nervous but this time i had a attitude that i was here for fun, and it was! i felt very strong the whole first loop and passed one after another untill i got to the unreachable manu! but pushed the last half hard too, i was pretty happy with my time and im hopeing to improve it my a bit next week at suu, and get in a full good week of training this week too.

Really good 3 miler this morning and a good run this Did a little exctra temo to justify going to the river

Morning run was dandy as usual, really worked on high knees durring it too.

thousands were strong but slightly inconsistant. did some good weights & plyos with a refreshing ice bath to top it all off.

the one time that i dont show up to morning pracitce is the morning they have a contest to see who showed up the most, and the girls won i guess because i wasent there haha whatever! but afternoon was pretty good! miles were about 7:15 both times so kinda slow actually but i pushed my 200ds hard and my cool down as well. starting to get pain in my shin but am takeing care of that pretty good. time to get new shoes i think.

morning run was good, pain in shin getting worse but spent 20 minutes iceing it after and it felt great the rest of the day. 

havent done barefoot in a whyle and it was a plesant change. it was super hot however but over all a nice run. shin hurt durring and a little bit after the run. hit the weights and plyos. iced shin even more.

great run to starbuck. got a great paper from coach about pain. excited for the race tomorow.

ahhhh!!! i dont care that pride is of the devil, im very proud of myself! broke my goal for this year and now my goal is to stay consitant with less than 18 minutes now. that course is kinda short so i'll have to step it up next time. if only i would have passed that dessert hills kid we would have tied!! oh well, that gives me a goal for next year: not to lose the win for us haha but really that does give a goal not only for me but for all jv and that is to black out again at region this year. i belive we will be ready. not dissapointed at all though, i tried really hard and a got a shnazy t shirt so all is well. next race is dixie blegh haha hay bales are dumb.

morning run was good. finally got a locker (small, but still a locker) so i dont need to haul my (super sexy byu) bag back and forth from school everyday. 

my least favorite run, for four miles at least, would have to be shoe run! i very much dislike it. i also dident drink alot of water today and what a mistake that was! 4 miles or not water makes all the difference. i'll be sure to drink plenty for tomorows thousands work out.

thousands were hard but then again the always are! but kept pretty solid times.

morning run was great. 

Track Workout! they are hard! but i love em haha. felt way solid and strong today. morning run = muy bien. first time at 6am for a whyle

morning run was nice and peacefull. i've always enjoyed doing thoes runs by myself. grass run was pokey and splintery but still pretty nice.

morning run was a typical wonderfull morning run.

 went to the region course today and got pretty familiar with it. i would like to say negative things about it but im keeping a positive attitude haha i guess you can run fast down all the hills right?? haha.

runathon was pretty legit!! got 6 miles or so in and had a great time. now to sleep..................

went to brian head for the weekend and worked all day today and dident get home till late. forgive me!!!!!!!!

did three miles in the morning. that felt pretty good.

race wasent very good and that was probably contributed to the negative energy put off by our team. impresed by matthew good job!

morning run was harder today then usual. i dont know why but oh well. stayed strong anyways haha.

i love green springs! i dont know why nobody else does but i think its great. so yah pretty much great run.

morning was fast but great. 

afternoon was just 3!!!! awesome! and then some nice quick 4x2s.

the team party was great! learned everyones goals and i feel like we bonded great! we are all excited for the race and we have a new positive attitude!

that was a awesome race!!!!!! got my goal of first jv on the team. actually got 7th (but that was with tyson hurt and all) so i guess i just have to stick with that! now short term goal is 1st jv boy at region on our team and at least top 5 overall and i was thinkin..... i have another long term goal. get faster than colton! i dont know if it will be this season or track or whatever but thats one of my goals. be faster than colton. just have to follow his good example of comitment and dedication. he is definantly a great runner. wish i could be at provo next week. even if it was to watch. xc forever!

3 miles morning was great.

relieved with the nice 4 miler

got my fancy german imported top of the line best of the best none better than, 5 star quality compression sleeves! at least they better be for the price i paid haha

felt crappy this morning so dident go to morning practice. probably would have if it was a required day but it wasent so i figured it was okay.

hard workout today! i had to go crap 3 times! twice durring the workout. on my last thousands i was pretty tired and had some breathing issues and side pains. it might have had something to do with the lack of water drank that day. i forgot my water bottle. i got the athlete of the week! put my shnazy sticker on my beautiful car to show off to the world of course. michigans on thursday haha exciteing!

striders hurt today! had a hard time pushing my speed to the max whyle consentrateing on form. oh well at least morning pracitce was good

morning run bla bla bla same old haha

did pretty sickly on my michigins not to brag or anything but seriously haha!! got b standard by a minute or so and i felt really good and strong durring the whole workout. hit all my times and kept increasing the pace. kinda dident have a kick the last 4 so that one of the things i can work on next time. 

nice morning run and afternoon run and striders. nuff said

really haveing trouble with sat. runs.....

morning run was great!!! me gusta

ROLLERCOASTER thats my first time doing them and they are tough nougets! me and hunter were right behind varsity for all but the last mile and a half. we were pretty beat up but it made me feel accomplished and i like that feeling haha

morning run was slower than normal, or maby its just me. ate alot before, maby shouldent eat as much haha.

nice speed workout. kinda hurt but that good right? haha i feel like im movein up on the team and i like it!

morning run was good, but what else is new?

liked the 200s they were real quick

morning run was quick but felt good, i lilke the speed.

4 miles was good, striders kinda hurt my shins today... way excited for the race this weekend

had a nice morning run, and ran up at nebo while varsity raced. it was cool watching af race!

dang!!! super happy with my race, literally went as hard as i could without throwing up. started out fast and in no time i was 3rd being cheerd on by people and haveing rachel yelling at me to get my but up there! haha i felt really good and i wish i could have gone faster but after a little bit i had to throw up really bad and i knew if i did i would go way down in placeing so i went just slow enough to not. probably had something to do with that dougnut i ate haha. really gets me excited for regions though. i want to finish first. but dissapointed we lost to ceader. i think i started to scare colton a little bit haha hey, that varsity spot dosent sound too bad;)

morning run was great.

haddent any time to run today, could have done 4 miles but reallly had to focus on my school work. did lifting and plyos though.

michigins kinda sucked today. i got a minute worse. the heat really seemed to get to me.

good runs today and liked the 200s

nice runs again today. excited for the race tomorow. i can tell the guys are pumped.

great race for me, felt way tired the whole race but really steped it up on the last thousand meters or so and went from 14th to 7th. got first place in region though and makes me even more confident about winning region in a few weeks. 

barely had time to run but had time to get dropped off at the region course so i ran that then to my grandmas house right before priesthood session. it was good to run that course again. good job coach and everyone else at the marathon!

refer to tomorow

i forgot so i looked at joshes blog and it said 5 so i guess its 5

 this race was my fastest! probably because of all the cement and stuff. i started out pretty quick and slowly got a little slower durring the race. that motivation of being in the front wasent with me because of all thoes stinkin varsity runners but they werent the only ones in front of me, a few jv guys were to and thats not good. im really going to have to race harder next week if im even going to have a chance at winning region. very impresed with reeds race too, he was 15 seconds behind me and 3rd on the team

did almost all of the warm up then we had to go inside because of the lighning. but then we ran 3 and it felt really good! i dont need to wear a ancle brace anymore and my almost shin splints looks like they wont be shin splints anytime soon. prospects for region.....good!

ice cream run!! it was a fast run there because nobody wanted to wait in line forever. it was a slow run back needless to say

woke up at 6 and rode my bike down to the region course with reed burr. it was pretty dang fun, but rideing my bike got kinda hard. it was a good 3 hrs of physical activity thoug but now im tired.

had dto leave the great meating early for the orthodontist. the party was great though and ran about the miles that night. super excited for region

i won!! i knew i had to risk a very quick start or else i wouldent win and it seeed to work out. its so weird! me and colton got the excact same time! 17:56 dang haha! im way happy with my race, i gave it 100%. now im just waiting on the jv medals haha

and the scarryest run award goes too.......neon spider!! im totally freaked out by spiders! im deathly afraid of them and after what devon said about shining a flashlight in there....im not looking forward to going back! it was cool to run with varsity again though, i wonder if i'll be doing what they do durring winter training or track, i want to. still way sore from yesterday.

funnest, funnyest and best feeling run in a long long time! it was fun running with varsity and scareing the pants off of everyone that did neon spider. darn mat had his flashlight though....grrr but i did get jason to swear hehehe

went to do old man hills. i felt like for my first actual varsity workout i did just fine. i was ahead of colton just as many times i was behind so that was a good thing. stayed with devo and coach and tyson till the finish

did warm up and indian run with varsity. it was tough but i felt like i kept up just fine. it was pretty fun actually

nice 3 miler. wore lots of sweats.

first 9 miler ever! nonstop the whole time and it was a quick pace too. finished about 20 seconds behind the pack.

Coach you're killing me! it was really tough to do our workout today after my first hard-core distance run yesterday let alone keep up with varsity but somehow ("somehow" being casey haveing to use the bathroom so we waited for a few minutes). i survived haha...... excited for my first varsity race this weekend! its gunna be cold cold cold.

nice easy 5 miler with striders. it was nice to kinda rest my legs a bit after 2 tough days

did some piramids. felt zapaty! stuck up with varsity again. excited for first varsity race this weekend!

ate lots of pizza then ran in a freezing rainy cold night! i think coaches stomach was jacked...he might have mentioned it once or twice. really fun overnighter sofar.

my first varsity race was great!!!! i dident know how to compleatly run it with being in the middle of the pack and all but my goal was stick with colton and i did! he beat me by a second or two. i kinda felt like i could have run much harder and that would have been better for the both of us because every time i tried to make a move on colton he would speed right back up with me. it was us pushing eachother that helped us do so well. i got spiked too! my spikes, socks and skin have a nice tear in em! bloody mess haha

dang i felt way bad today!! it was a struggle just to stay up at the front of the jv pack let alone with varsity! even the warm up was tough. i think im getting sick. the run felt way excausting and i felt really weak all over and got 2 bloody noses tonight. my brother and sister both are sick so i might be fighting what they have right now.....hopefully im all better by time trials on thursday.

really good feeling 5 miles and strieders today at 2450 park! felt way better than yesterday. doing striders felt really good. i went real quick and it just felt tubular brosiff. then ran to church for young mens
