| | trail run was good, but last half was bad. all the ups and downs with me not running for a long time made me cough up some barf but it wasent too bad |
| | ran with my ipod. that was different in a really good way. music helps |
| | pretty good run. first 6 in a whyle! |
| | went up to green springs. a nice easy 4 miles. good to run with corey again! |
| |
trail run out by green springs. my stomach felt weird again but kept up with the guys. a really pretty run, but i wasent able to get to many looks except for the ones of the trail right in front of me.but the biggest news of my life....................... Ghuld!!!!!! or however you spell it. i learnd who ghuld was, is and will be and was privaliged to see his face for half a second. nobody would have realised it were him if it werent for corey who spotted him.
|
| | felt really good today! i think my body is getting used to this again. love the run foremaster anyways. its a pretty nice run. its pretty chill after the hil. learned more about the legend of ghuld |
| | it was hard to decide to run today but after what happend durring christmas break i knew i couldent slack off. i have now done 2 consecutive saturday runs which is pretty good for me! i dont plan on ever missing another saturday run though. i decided im more dedicated to my team for that. the run was really really good though! i averaged around 7 00 for my miles, and on my last mile i felt really good and just ran race pace and finished my run at 27 minutes. it felt perfect outside! i was suprised i ran that hard because i literally ate dinner right before i ran! the end
|
| | went out on turtle trail today for one of the best runs of my existance. no big deal guys.... but seriously i just kept on going faster and faster. i stoped to enjoy the natural beauty of my suroundings haha! i seriously wanted to go another mile! i pretty much decided then and there that i truely did love running. it took me long enough haha yah i dunno, i just felt something out there on the trail i never felt before! this passion and stuff....ok enough gooey feelings and crap haha yah overall the run was pretty nice!
|
| | this. run. was. epic. haha ok maby not like way epic but still way fun! ran out kinda where i went yesterday. it was the watertower run or something, and it felt nice! i really enjoyed it! but the highlight had to be coaches story the last mile and a half or so! hahhaha! poor coach would have been eaten by thoes hippos if he haddent jumped in that ladys truck ( the bed of it......) |
| | only 4 today! it was nice, fast and quick! hung out with my sophmore buds and talked about xc and track and stuff. im pretty excited about it!
|
| | the first 3 miles were probably a little tiny bit tougher than the last 3..... the fact that we went up like literally a thousand feet for the first half might have had something to do with it but i dont know..... haha;) no but really it was tough and hard but in a good way! these trail runs are fun! i hope trail run thursdays become permanant now on. i can tell they are helping with my form as well. dang ive really noticed a difference in my whole take on running since monday! i am excited for longer runs and enjoy them! i think i'll keep this attitude and determination haha! |
| | nice quick run into the feilds today. not much to say haha! michael isent very good at converting talented kids into xc haha |
| | was going to go out on a run but (my mom thought) the weather was too unpredictable, so instead did 40 minutes of a program like p90x and did some core excersises as well |
| | morning run was nice! did a quick 3. afternoon was super awesome! in a different sort of way haha we did up shanobkibe or whatever whyle it was rainy (my favorite running weather) it hardly felt like the 7 miles it was
|
| | if yesterday dident feel like 7 then today definanly dident feel like 8!! when we were at 5.5 miles i was like woah allready!?!? i just felt good that run! had a race with colton and jason, i lost but then again they had like a 200 m head start and i caught up with them again so if you think about it i pretty much won.....yah...good run! albino i believe its called |
| |
lower distance day which is nice. just a nice, easy, fun run out to target and back.
we did striders after which were also nice and quick! tonight we played basketball for a hour and a half then i ran home from the church so that is definantly at very least another mile
|
| | 3 miles for the morning run. it was hard to start up, but we were talking about how xc was the best team at pv so that kinda inspired me i guess to get thrugh it just fine. 6 miles in the afternoon at a trail by ivins! it was tough but fun! my legs were really tired thoug, and it was dificult at times. this distance week is getting to me, or maby its just the morning run.
|
| | ok my legs are getting tired! i might ice bath. ive got a shorter distance tomorow though haha! 5 miles:) i remember when 5 miles was like way way long! now its a short run! im kinda proud of how far ive come (not to be big headed or anything haha) |
| | we did 7 miles out to washington and then lifted after. pretty tireing but ok |
| | am: nice and cold. stretched shirtless outside afterwards and that felt great. found out my body fat is 4% and yes coach i am 6 ft .5 in i dont care what you might think! pm: nine miles felt supriseingly quick. ran shirtless supriseingly! its feburary and still running without a shirt
|
| | did 5 miles on shoe run, jumped into the freezing pond, did stepps then ran another mile with hunter on the track and ran home from mutual for a grand total of 7.5 |
| | did a very fun and acomplishing run today to the top of the old airlport mountain! my planters acted up very very very badly comeing down the saddle then everyone left without me but after all the downhill it dident act up as much so i picked up the pace significantly and just about caught up with everyone at the end. |
| | am 3 miles nice easy run did a fun quick 7 miles on a adventure run
|
| | so i had someone run along with me on the last 2 miles of my nice and easy weekend run today. a pitbull! it scarred the crap out of me when it was chaseing me! but it dident atack me when it finnaly got to me thank goodness!! it just ran with me all the way home! stupid people leaveing their scarry stupid dogs to chase me! but it was a nice run | |
| | went into st george by the temple. found a little girls jacket and was %$#%^&*(& PROMISED $3 to wear it. i kept it on and unfourtunately fell a little bit behind on the tempo. we had lifting after and coach only gave me $2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| | am nice morning run but stomach felt kinda queezy pm 9 miles on the dam road. it was really nice actually
|
| | just a nice 6 miles into washington with stepps after. and also striders after |
| |
Did my first 11 and longest run ever! it felt really really nice especially the cold of 5 am but at least i wasent overheating much. there was one problem though....i had pretty bad diareah! i went 4 times off the side of the trail/road, but managed to catch up with the team a couple times. i had to poo durrng our 2 mile tempo though and dident catch up but still kept around 5:45 to 6:00 minute miles.
|
| | first speed workout in a whylle! we ran down to old man hills and did 2x 200 800 400 200. it felt okay. legs felt really sore and "rusty" but besides that it was allright |
| | nice morning run then afternoon run was good too. i learned to stay in school. had to stop to go to the bathroom though... |
|
| | nice quick run up into green springs with 3 miles in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. really getting sick of pooping though!! grrrr |
|
| |
really nice morning run
we did 7 miles marking the corse for this saturdays race then went into the alien farm where i told everybody about marlar and his group of alien friends.
|
| |
| | ran to the school with coach and added a mile after our morning run for a total of 7. it hardly felt like 7 though because it was nice and crisp this morning. it felt good. i have a campout today and tomorow so i did my whole run this morning |
| | was suposed to do 10 miles today but i ate sooooo much junk food durring our campout that i could barely walk when i got home. my stomach hurt mucho alot! |
| | did 4x foremaster hills and 4x half hills in the middle of a 6 miler. it was pretty dang tough! we were all tired and weak. not much talking. later in the day i did a quick sub 20 3 miler with my young mens leader. it was fast! we went into hells canyon on the half marathon course. im excited for this weekend. and kinda nervous at the same time.
|
|
| | went towards the river trail but it was under construction so went down mosquito trail and turned around for 6 miles with nice striders at the school. |
| |
nice morning run today. excited and nervous for time trials today. had some woositise in the mile today and dident quite have the mindset because it was just a time trial but oh well. ill do much better in races durring the season.
|
|
| | a nice morning run with a nine miler in the afternoon. |
|
| |
nice morning run went into washington to pick up packets on a 8 mile run. striders afterwords
|
| |
| |
2 mile warm up before the half marathon. it felt way way way hard especially the last 3 miles! but im very happy with how i did 7th overall and 2nd age group! 1:19.30 ish was my time.
i read coaches blog and decided to put more on haha! first 3 miles were alot faster than i thought! i actually decided to run the half hard in these few miles because i knew i had a chance for top 10! the first few miles were all about 5:30 which suprised me a ton! i broke my 5k record by 5 seconds (17:10 to 17:05) going into the rolling hill section of the race. me and rhino stuck together and past casey about at the bridge (he was looking like he was hurting alot and me and ryan cheered him on for a bit). rhino and i stuck together untill the end of the dam road when i took a small lead. i caught up to mikey at the base of that tougher hill. i saw a yellow car, hit mike and past him a little bit as i gained a lead on him. it was tough runnin up the rest of that road but that hill at mile 10 was definantly the hard point of the race when the pain and tiredness really kicked in. got passed by this dude in yellow as he encouraged me to push the hill. i made it to the top almost to devon ( mile times went from 5:30 at the start to closer to 6 in the middle and now they were about 6:30 to 6:50) then just couldent go much faster for a mile or a mile and a half. i picked my pace up to about 6:30 to finish out thoes terrible last 2 miles. i finished and could barely stand up! it was a tough race to do. but it was pretty well worth it.
| |
| | nice morning run with 8 in the afternoon |
|
| | really feeling the high milage.... and with old man hills like no other today dosent quite lift my spirits |
|
| | so much mileage! i can make it to spring break i can make it to spring break! |
|
| | nice morning run with some thousands (6 of them) that wernt as horrible as i thought they would be! my splits were 3:28 :27 :26 :25 :18 :13 vdot pace 3 :25
|
|
| | tempo felt great! started on the slower side but by the end i was up with tyson so thats pretty good! |
| | hills hills.....stupid hills... bad headach bla bla bla they were allright i kept up |
|
| | it feels nice to have a easy day! |
|
| | 10 miles with 40 minute tempo kept at a 6 10 average about. it was hard! i was suprised i thought it wouldent be quite a big deal since i averaged 6 02 at the half but it was definantly tough |
|
| | another fairly easy run again today. did some quick 200 after our 6 miler. i just want to go on our cruise i dont wanna race tomorow! but oh well. ive got the 1600 and the 3200 |
|
| | first day out! big group! its gunna be a good season. hip flexor sore |
|
| | hip flexor getting worse. |
|
| | hip flexors is getting better. its probably just a getting started pain |
|
| | nice grass run. i should look into getting some new shoes |
|
| | hip flexor is pretty much all better. |
|
| | nice run with mattew this morning. we pretty much just made some junk up with my handy dandy garmin |
|
| | went running whyle at camp. thats cold hard proof that im much more dedicated to xc this year! I have always always always had trouble running when the team wasent meeting but my goal this season is to not miss a single fudgin run! it was tough! 9000 ft at 7:20 pace |
|
| | i dident run quite as much as i should have but i did do some intence mile races durring the relay races up in the mountains. i also did lots of other intence raceing like swimming kayaking, bikeing and stuff. |
|
| | quick run after getting home from camp. buisey day but i had to do someting! it felt good. my hip flexor is getting sore again. i'll do the stuff coach told me to do. |
|
| |
we did parkway maveric run today. but backwards! i dont think we have ever done it that way in the summer! but oh well. i went pee and had a tough time catching back up on the hill and i was breathing pretty hard. looks like i have some shape to get into right? well my hip flexor is still sore but nothing too bad. its just walking around durring the day and not as much on the actual run. i have been doing the trev robs and warior stuff. although i dont thing im doing the warior pose right cuz it just feels like its working my sexy thighs....not that thats a problem right coach? hehe>:) oh well its probably just a starting up soreness. i"ll be fine! i just cought up the last 2 weeks on the blog and hopefully i"ll be pretty consistant with the updates! so i hope that made all you blog stalkers happy!
|
|
| | went up to the dirt mile. it felt tough today! i struggled to get thrugh even 4 miles! side aches and breathing pains were what hurt, not really any leg fatigue. afterwords my hip flexer was pretty sore but i learned some proper techniques to takeing care of it no biggie. got some poop thrown at me at kids club.
|
| |
| | dang i had a tough run today! i had a major sideach and my hip flexor was jack although its getting better i can tell. oh well i just had to tell myself allrighty its gunna hurt for the next few miles i might as well get used to it....and i did! it hurt but i guess running hurts dosent it? im hopeing my pains are "just getting started again" pains:) |
|
| | did a grass run today, and it felt pretty good overall. litttle side crams and painsbut oh well i'll get over it. feelin better though sofar! |
| |
| | we did a prett good run around coral canyon. the hills werent too bad actually! megan told be to eat a bananna before and i did about 20 minutes beforethe run and i dont knowif it was justt coinsidence or just bannanas;) but my side cramps were far less noticeable! and i shaved....so coach is NOW in the lead;) |
| |
| | 100 degrees...hot! i guess you should be alot more hydrated before you do thoes EVEN IF ITS JUST 3 MILES!! i thought i would be allright because i have the gouldiness you know? but dang i felt sick! in the bad way... i ran up to maveric and down the parkway to the park to get watter but when i got there i felt more sick than thirsty so i went on my way but then like 2 minutes later i got buzzy so i stood under a tree and i noticed my heart rate was thrugh the roof! i should have measured it but it felt like i just finished a race and i was only at mile 2 of a easy 3 miler! but i stood there and took deep breaths to get my heartrate down again then took it easy the last 1.3 miles. i think we need to adress the importance of hydration to the newcomers at xc practice and also remind even us expirienced folk to drink 100 oz every day! even i forget;) oh well lesson learned! and i also feel way acomplished cuz this is my 3rd saturday run in a row! that has only happened a handfull of times! and i dont plan on stoping this trend:) |
| |
| | had a nice run up the parkway and down the washingto backroad for a nice 3 miles. dident get one side cramp untill the last 20 feet literally! so yah it was good! then i went to the gym for some weights with mattew. last time i went i got pretty sore so i toned it down one notch for every machine i did. im just going for a stronger core after all. its only 11 and ive drank just about 100 oz already! good day of workin out:) |
| |
| | had a good run up at the dirt mile. though about xc season this year, and yes coach robbie, i thought about how out convesation wasent very nice, kinda weird and a little humorous, but it might have been a 1 sided humor but hey! lots of my jokes are only funny to me right holt?;) but anyways i felt pretty good and relaxed even though sometimes we got down into the 7:00 pace and i usually dont feel att that smooth at that pace. |
| |
| | had a really nice 7 miler up the grapevine hill and down the coral canyon side! coach, i cant remeber...was that a loop? haha but ya it was way good! the first 3 miles were kinda tough but once we were on top of the hill i felt way great the rest of the way! but i had to "go" quite a bit... but yah i had a top notch run today. i should be getting new shoes but theses kinects are sooo comfey! i like that soft slightly minimal bottom feel they give and they arent hurting my planters like so many other shoes do! but yah im getting new ones soon enough |
|
| | had a nice run 5:45 am cuz im going to camp helaman at 7. ran with my dogtown homies because all of washington stake priests are going too. the grass was really soft on the inside of the feild where we did good striders.i feel like my form is improveing. |
|
| | matt woke up at 5:30 to run up at camp helaman. dummy! why would you wake up that early when you have hours of free time to run durring the day? well i went running all by my self up at 8.5 k feet up near mamoth. itwas lonely and the high altitude made for some tough running. im glad coach showed up because if he dident im thinking there would have been like a 50/50 chance i wouldent have even gone. |
|
| | went on a quick run just so i could have a tiny run in today. i got home from camp, ran, then i had to get ready to speakat a baptism so a quick 14 minute run was all i had time for. it felt fine though |
|
| | had a good run down hell hole. did some hill bounders that werent too hard, but some dummy decidedd to do bounders all the way up it on our way out. hip flexor was feeling a little sore again but nothing to complain about yet. i was gunna lift with mattew aftr but i locked my keys in the car. |
| |
| | allrighty what a day today! had a pretty great easy run today:) i had some intence pain the last half mile up where my neck meets my shoulder. anyone have tips for that? we havent had any rip banannas for a whyle so that might be why. so you guys know how i locked my keys in my car yesterday? well.... i did it again today. at the dentists.... i went to home depot after i got back into my car and copied thoes bad little boys. and the keys too;) |
|
| | had a really nice run today. some kids decied to push them selves and had a nice confidence booster. just as longas they dont hurt themselves |
|
| |
had a good run around the neighborhood and on the grass with striders after it wa pretty quiet. went lifting after. then i did some good stretches and rolled with a foam roller later that day: went to the running store today and got some new shoes. it was a tough decission between the kinvara 3s and the altras with support. i really liked both of them, except for the 70 acres the toes get on the altra, but i chose the altras cuz they help with form, and running efficiently. tough decision! i way way way way way love the brooks connects. they are my favorite ive ever had but i needed something new becauuse even though it says on my blog that my grean beans only have like 250 miles i have 500+ on them (there was a blog apostacy for a few months) and i needed something for longer runs. i'll for sure still run in my green beans.
|
|
| | good run down in green valley with my new altras. i was worried about the size of them, they might have been too small, but they were actually pretty good! i hope they help to improve the way i run a little. paul did good again today, as did everyone else! but paul insisted that he went the whole 6 miles, when coach only wanted him to do 5. i hope nobody gets injured! still bumbed about colton! i talked to him today and he still thinks he can go to camp so thats good! we need him and everyone else to bring their A game this season! |
|
| | k whoever reads this give me answers! why do my saturday runs suck! suck suck suck suck suck! they always are ten times more painful than other runs and they are always haveing problems and bla! i had to walk once, "go", and cut my run short one mile. i was hydrated enough, maby i had too much food in me? its hot? idk but these last few saturday runs havent been the greatest. |
| |
| | dang what a sucky run! i had a tough time but i guess that everyone has thoes kindsa days right? i was fine untill we started;) but at about mile 5 i couldent go anymore and i had to take a few brakes. i felt way weak and my breathing was hard. oh well saturday was tough hopefully i'll be feeling good as new soon |
|
| |
alot better of a run today! we had some strong paces over on the dirt mile for a easy 4 miler. i dident do my double yesterday so im gunna do it tonight. hopefully i'll be free of any major problems for tomorows 8 miles with another 3 in the hot afternoon ( is suposed to be 110!!! what the weiner!) sorry ladies, but its hard not to say weiner;) i dida double today. it was nice easy and coolish:) altras

|
| | nice 7 miler! after 2.5 it was just me and coach, shirtless, runnin up bluff! it was a magical excpirience.... but he dident have very many interesting storys and i dident have any dumb ones (cuz i dont have good stories apparantly) and we just kinda ran i guess. the turn around was at the top of a longis hill and all the way back thrugh st g we were running a good 6:40 to 7ish pace! it was quick and i still felt good doing it! looks like im getting into a shapeish state of shapelyness! thats a good sign |
|
| | it was tough but i woke up early and just ran parkway before i went up to the mountain. i was really tireed cuz i was up late and the run felt allrigh, nothin very special. the drizzle felt good though! |
|
| | did our long run out into the feilds. i felt pretty good considering the fact it was 10 miles! the last mile and a half weere the toughest parts though. i stoped when i was about to barf. i dident feel that it was worth barfing over so i just stoped and let my stomach settle. the only real problems i felt was my stomach and my breathing got pretty hard the last 2 miles or so. got home and drank a gatoraid so my electrolites are bueno:) |
| |
| | had a nice easy 4 mile run today. hit some nice paces on the dirt mile. felt some sharp pains in the side and up where the neck meets the shoulder. ive been getting used to it. ran about a mile at kids club. it was hot and everyone was geting anoying except me;) my hip flexor still feels a little sore post run. i dident do my double today because i ate some jerky (homemade) ...lots of it...like 15 peices and my crap is... crappy and my tummy hurts. i also havent been drinking lots today accidentaly. i just realised that. i also had a 32 oz soda today too. saw this online but havent watched it yet but it looks good! ill watch it when my internet connection gets better. its a xc season thingy or something. dang it wont let me copy paste! well this tablet isent as good of a computer as a actual computer.....weird. oh well go to youtube and search "cross country running - The Anthology" and the cover is a image of the start of a girls race i belive. ya but watch it! i know i will someday! thank you, and....................... goodnight |

| |
| | i really wanted to just do good today! comeing out of a crummy slacker week last week i really was motivated to give it my all this week! and i was doing great! the first 5 miles of our 12 miler with 3 tempo felt amazeing! i was running smooth with no cramps or anything! but then the need to crap was overwhelming.... i went about mile 5 and that kinda inturupted my smoothness. then i went at mile 7. after that i dident have to go anymore but i was just thinking how much of a wimp they all though i was being ahead of me but i was 3 miles away from the school so i just kicked it into about 6-6:30 pace untill the fire station hill but up the hill the the rest of the uphill untill the end i kept it at under 7! it hurt alot though but i had to finish the tempo. coach told me to stop at 10 though. after i got home i ran a mile with my siblings though, so i guess thats better than nothing. i guess for what i did it was good, but i wish i could haave just stayed up with them! im sick of haveing all these lame excuses. oh well. ive still got afternoon practice too and that should be good. and im looking forward to the race on wednesday! iim just wanting to get into the 17 minutes being the first race and getting into things again. should be good! |

ceader first race 2012 xc season (2.9 Miles) 00:16:38, Place overall: 8, Place in age division: 8 | | nice easy grass run this morning. race day! i was pretty nervous but once the race started i felt nice and fast! the first loop i pased tons of people and solidified a top 10 position right behind casey. i was pretty suprised that i was up there! i mean i could actually see brigham!;) not michael of course but no suprise he did legit! on the second lap i kept my position pretty good except for maby a couple passes by me or someone else but when casey fell behind me i knew he either was haveing a tough race, i was haveing a kick but race or i was just going to fast but i just kept it going. i was really feeling it starting the last loop but i tried to keep the pace. if i never felt like barfing i would be pretty legit;) thats the mmain reason i couldent kick really great on the track and got pased up by 1 person the very last second. i'll work on that next time. over all i felt really really good especially since that 30ish second pr! summer training must be worth it or something! i want to try to stay up in the top 10 this season for all the region 9 races. a big downside i felt on the track the fist loop and about a mile after that was my flats really made my left planters tendon feel like i was stepping on a needlee! so i couldent really keep a good form going on my left foot:/ i'll try to put on wintercrest before the next race/speed workout or whatever. hope it works! |

SUU bicentenial park 2012 (3 Miles) 00:16:57, Place overall: 12 | | so the race today was pretty great! i felt like i started out pretty quick but not too quick! it put my pace where it needed to be. on that very slight uphill east i felt crummy every single time but definantly put more into it on the turn comeing down. things i did well i thought: started good and fast kept a solid pace thrugh most of it dodged slow arrows. kicked great! this course kinda tricked me into thinking the finish was shorter so i kicked early and hard but now that i know i can do it it makes me more confidant for next time! things i can work on. comeing up that hill definantly was a time i could pick some ugly butts off and could have got top 10 status for sure. balls to the wall right? i was just feeling exausted. i was trying hard for sure but looking back i could have done better. give the hell boys more of a race. i cant remember if it was the 3rd of 4th hellian i was raceing close to but i .....lost it to him.... shame eh? what a hoser (canadian slang cuz cam was there and i talked to him for a minute or two and almost got my flats signed) anyways all in all it felt like a pretty solid race. i want to get up in that top 10 though! i dont know if thats a legal goal though according to mrs petersons rules. also pretty stoked about the jv boys and how colton has managed to improve up to scoreing varsity times! the end:) |
|
| | good run down to whatchyamacallit park in st george. did striders there and came back. it felt good to have a couple of actually funny, funnies thrown in there by me instead of the stupid sarcastic comments haha! stop laughing jason;) and the 3 in the morning was bueno |

|
| | morning run was faboo! and if you want to look at my last weeks stuff i just posted it sorry ive been slacking;) now to the workout. They felt soooo good! well they hurt mucho but it made my feelings feel good! splits for thousands were 3:07 3:05 3:03 3:03 2:56 2:57! my first 2 sub 3 splits on the last part of the workout even after doing great splits overall for me! much better than my 3:10 to 3:15 splits from last week! then again i wasent feeling to great last week but still definantly one of my best workouts. strectched really good afterwards. |

|
| | morning run was good today! i felt the workout a little but the easy 3 shook things out pretty well:) another workout this afternoon! my legs felt great (for there being a hard workout yesterday) and i kept the 2 minutes hard at a pretty solid pace and the 400s pretty quick. it dident feel super exausting but definantly got my legs moveing:) had to skip the cool down though so i could catch piano lessons at 5 |

am: Nice and easy 3. quiet? nope. mattew was much louder than normal, and thats saying something! we couldentget him to shut up! pm: it was hot today! clouds everywhere but above us....again... but soaking the shirt in water at the sullivan park there and back definantly helped. we did striders in the middle of the run again. i like that! lifting and plyos after felt good. its sooo hot outside haha!
|
| |
| | 24 hour runathon! ran 6 miles about 6 minutes each, but did pull off a 5:05 just for fun:) |
|
| | did 5x mile repeates with a mile warmup and cool down. they were pretty pshyc (sick). pace was just threshold and goal times were about 6 minues. michael finch, casey kimzey and i were the only ones doing it thismorning because the rest of the team was raceing for the last varsity spots tomorow. anyways, we all stuck together on the first one with a 5:47 wich was mikes goal time, then we all got 5:43, 5:40 5:35 then finished with a strong 5:30. it felt awesome haveing the 3 of us all killing our times on a tough workout. it felt good sticking with mike the whole time as well. and the best thing was i feel good still! i dident over doo myself for the workouts later this week and im feelin good for the race up in murray this weekend. |
|
| | am 3 pm went to larkspur park before the jv raced for the 5, 6, and 7th varsity spot to do some thousands on the course. it felt nice! got some sarcastic cheers when we did the last two durrning the 6th thrugh 8th grader race that were pretty anoying but they were tough which is a good thing i guess |
|
| | am 3 pm nice 5 with striders after. it was hot today! |
Green Beans Miles: 4.00 | Altras Miles: 3.00 |
|
| | am 3 pm another 5 with 200s after. it was hot but we jumped into sandburgs stinky yucky pond but we dident care it felt good! kinda cought the girls off guard when we turned the corner though they dident know we were going thrugh sandburgs on our run too! |

Murray invitational 2012 (3.2 Miles) 00:17:28, Place overall: 75 | |
so i wrote all of this before then my tablet shut off and i lost everything!!! it would have been updated a whyle ago but i was just so mad i quit then the wifi at my house dident work for the next day. anyways we did a nice 3 miler in the morning and left for murray right before school started. it was a fun trip like always. me, casey and mike were the only ones who have been on a varsity trip before so lots of noobs and it was fun! we got up to the state course and ran it with commentary by mike (with some contradicting points of view by casey). we stretched after and went to the mall to eat before the race. then we went to murray!! so we got to the race and it was super awesome! there were thousands of people everywhere! we watches a little bit of the jv races and started a warm up to some important parts of the course. it got me pretty excited! the girls started then we went to the line! ok so continure to the next paragraph then come to this one. so me and jayson pushed past the hells pack then ben and me and jayson kept passing and passing eachother. bens coach boosted his moral about 800 from the end and i just couldent kick with him. i beat jasons kick though and i felt that for me my kick was good. i past a few and got pased by a couple. anyways overall it was a good race! the ride back home was so fun! haha weird... anyways it was a nice trip and a good race. so the gun went off and the start was seriously super intece! people were getting pushed all over the place and some dummy kept kicking my feet! mike was right in front of me and we both werent in very great place to start and i tried to follow mikes push thrugh the crowd but there were just so many people! that first mile wasent as fast as it could have been. the whole rest of the race i did this push past a group then settle for another 20 seconds untill i got the balls to to it again. it worked pretty well. me and jayson just pased the dirt hill and the 4th and 5th or 3rd and 4th i cant remembe desert hells kids were there
|
|
| | so i did a nice 3 today. not sure what i was suposed to run but i only had time for 3 anyways sorry! |
|
| |
nice easy 3 for am run afternoon we did 2 warm up, 4x 30 second sprints, 3x 800 hard and ending it with the main part, 4x 1000s indian runs. the indian runs were tough. the beginning of the workout got us good and tired for the 1000s and it really showed who had it in them! i was really feeling pooped by the 3rd and 4th thousand but i kept it in and even helped push the group! i feet good on my 800s too keeping with mike. they werent real quick 800s but i was the only one who stuck with him in all of them. the 2 mile cool down felt pretty quick though. could have taken it easyer but oh well.... getting ready for our last time trial tomorow!

Green Beans Miles: 9.50 | Altras Miles: 3.00 |
|
| | time trial today. we did 3 in the morning then 3 in the afternoon, did the time trial which i'll talk about in a sec, a mile and a half cool down and some hill sprints to finish off with some speed. so the time trial: i started out faster than i would have with mike and casey but that was good cuz it pushed me to stay with casey. at the end of the first 1200 loop i was strugleing but kept with casey. as the race went on i was getting into the rut so i tried passing casey to take 2nd (mike shot off like a beast a whyle ago) but every time he would kick it faster and pull both of us along. another 1200 came and went and i was feeling crappy but good that i was sticking with casey and the last 800 loop came and we pushed it harder. i wanted to outkick casey but after the hill he pushed it harder than i could. oh well i feel good that i finished 2 seconds behind him. |

harriman invitational 2012 (3.1 Miles) 00:18:05, Place overall: 12 | |
so since wednesday i bought some kinvara 3s but they have been hurting my already hurt planters (it feels like stepping on a needle right thrugh the center of my foot/arch) so im going to return them. maby get some brooks pureflows. anyways another trip up north. sorry i havent updated in a whyle i have been useing all my free time for homework. but we had the harriman invitational. that course was the worst ever! its suuuuper tough. it was definantly a pear growing expirience if you know what i mean. i was worried my plantars would kill with all the fast downhill running but it actually dident hurt at all! that i noticed anyways. so we started nice and quick up a gradual incline then rounded a corner into a stepe downhill. i took it a little slower than i would have. eventually cought up with casey and we stuck together pushing eachother up the hills and over em and on the long kick sections. i passed him right before the mutha cussa (which i am not worthy of describeing...) and kept in front of him for that last half mile or so. i was way way happy with my race. i definantly hurt more on that race than any other ever! but i finished good at 12th place (time dosent matter on this one but its like 1:30 slower than normal!) i was .....i cant remember....like a minute more or less back from mike. maby 45 seconds. i got a shnazzy shirt though they gave them to the top 14 sorry casey, youtook 15th;) and we beat desert hills and now they are ticked and tapering to beat us next weekend. they are stupid sometimes. i like ben though he is nice! i beat all but 1 desert hells guy in the race. so yah overall it was a pretty solid race! sorry about the bad spelling and organization im sleepy. and ignore the last little bit down there sec. i got a shirth though they gave them to the top 15 (sorry casey, you got 15th;)
|
|
| | ended one of my longest distance weeks of the season with a beautiful 8 miler with mike. just me and him. it was quite romantic actually...... bwahaha;) but really though it was nice! it hardly even felt like 8 miles we talked the whole time and did about 15 loops on the baseball feild at pv for some nice barefoot. |
|
| | nice morning run. i ran in my kinvaras to see weather or not i would really return them but the last little bit they hurt so i definanly am. pm we did 6 miles with 2 miles indian run with 4 hill sprints and 4 100 sprints. the sprints were fast and so were the indian runs. |

|
| | nice quiet fast morning run. afternoon we did a mile warm up before michigans. we started and someone triped me whyle i was shirtless on the track. probably a dumb freshman who wanted to start the 4.25 mile workout like a frakin race. but i fell and slid on my back a couple feet tearing off my skin. hobes said it looked pretty bad (whyle everyone was a 100 ahead of me) so he dident say it was terrible so i sprinted to get back with the group (which tired me quite a bit for later) and kept with casey and mike untill mike picked it up and casey fell behind which left me alone and its tough to do michigans all alone! my pace definanly suffered durring the 2400 sections. i tried to get back faster on the next 800s and i did but it left the next 3 800 loops pretty poopy. i was barely under pace. goal time was 25:10 for A standard. i got 25:15:( my own fault though im blameing myself instead of the start. i could have pulled a measly 5 seconds from my keister but i dident push hard enough. oh well i'll definantly get it next time. it felt good seing noone but mike ahead of me though! i never would have though in my freshman year i would be this good. went to marks room to get cleaned up after cool down and i guess it was pretty bad. i could tell when he sprayed the hydrogen peroxide all over my back......ouch! oh well. it'll be wraped up for another day or so nothing too bad. it just killed my start! |

state championships utah 2012 (3 Miles) 00:16:30, Place overall: 20 | | state was reallly good for me! the team dident do quite as great and i dont really want to talk much about the race team wise except for the fact we took 5th, and could have done much better but we did what we could do i guess. as for me, i started out kinda stuck behind people about in the middle of the pack and was stuck there untill after comeing down the hill and into the 2nd loop and got back up front-ish by the big hill. caught up with josh m (desert hills) and we had a tough back and forth battle for a mile and a half or so. during that battle i cought up with casey by the long hill and drafted behind him for a half mile or so untill i decided i had enough energy to pass and catch josh again. i pushed the next half mile just enough to pass a person every 15 seconds or so and got into a great position to finish. with .75 miles to go i passed josh strong for what i was hopeing to be the last time and it was. i tried to pass more on the last stretch but there werent many to pass at that point and only got 2 or 3. i got on the track for the last 200 meters and cought 1 more but got passed up barely by a ogden guy named pedro. i got 20th which i was very happy with considering i was like 35th preseason ranked. i set myself up with a 3 or 4th returning placement for next year.im determined to pull a mike and work more than i ever have to e the absolute best i can be |

NXR West regional 2012 (3.1 Miles) 00:16:06, Place overall: 104 | | awesome race for me! first mile was like 5:02, 2nd was 10:15 ish and mile 3 was around 15:30 to 15:45 i think. finished with my best 5k time of 16:50. the start was very crouded but i was in a good position in my opinion. the crowd kept me from launching out too fast. after the first mile the group became navigatable and i slowly inched past people. i knew i was doing solid when i passed kris (DH). the last 1000 came and went...and went....and went... it seemed like forever long. kris past me again. i ended up finishing 3 sec behind him or so. after the race i held it together enough to help mike who was still babbling like a buffoon (check out mike finches race if you havent allready....it was amazeing) haha "get up mike you cant lay down" "ok....no...yah... wheres coach?" haha he was acting weird:/ anyways i struggled keeping the kick going on that forever long last thousand but beat afro man and had probably the race of the year for me so thats always good:) |

PV mile winter 2012 (1 Miles) 00:04:46, Place overall: 5 | | mile time trial today. i was hopeing to get into the 4:30s but that was fairly optomistic considering i havent done any track training and i havent run the mile since last year at a 4:48. i was having trouble breathing and i dident really go when i could and should have. i guess the fact that it was a time trial blocked some mental mojo. you can tell kyler and abel were out to prove themselves! the outkicked me in the last 200. looking forward to much better times once i get some speedy speed back in the legs durring track |
|
| | so yah hello all! i havent updatedd in a whyle. hopefully i can keep the habit going again but thanks to mike i have updated all my mileage and brief summarys of my raced from state up till now. am: 3. wore a sweat shirt, it was chilly! pm: 4. nice easy run after the mile yesterday. im starting to feel the soreness of going that fast for the first time in a whyle! its not too bad though. excited for the california trip! pleasant suprise yesterday when i found that ogden was opting for a move up to 4A and that puts me as first returner for 3A next year! definantly never thought i would get this far but im stoked to push my hardest over winter training, track and summer training to solidify my state championship (i hope). definantly an awesome new motivation to do my best! |
| |
| | am: quick 3. not too cold today! one more morning practice for a month or so! 2 week break is comeing up and im not too excited about that.... |

| Race: |
footlocker west 2012 mt sac (3.107 Miles) 00:17:40 | | not a very good race. it was a struggle just to keep it in with matt and abel. i was pretty sick the whole trip and the whole week. kinda a bummer that that may have been the last mt sac race ever for me. oh well. fun course just with i wasent sick |
