USU

hey everybody! new goal, blog consistantly thru xc! i'll be updating my mileage and races from track, so stay tuned.

i got new shoes a couple weeks ago, nike pegasus. i was worried because with every shoe except the brooks pure connects hurt my plantar tendon on my left foot after a few miles but these have only done that a couple times so i want to get my feet used to something new after running in almost nothing except for connects and a little altra for years! i'm only wearing my pegasus for runs this week and wearing them whyle i walk and walk at disneyland the next 4 days. then i'll switch off connects and pegasus every other. any other suggestions for a chronicly problem plantar?

well, first run of the xc season and the journey to a state championship! i'll finish up my goals but the jist of it is competing for the individual title for region and state, and hey, why not shoot for things bigger than state too!? i'll also be running real hard for scholarship offers as well...hopefully:)

am:3.1

preston and i are on vacation, we just ran around the block twice and some in anehiem cali. we were excited i can tell, we averaged 6:53 pace, i finished at 6:30 pace the last little bit haha! the altitude just pushed oxygen in me! it was great haha. preston did really well too, he was strugling though (we were going faster than last years xc race pace for him after all) but good for him right?

i hope the team did well with their first day back in st. George! we are eexpecting a HUGE turnout!

didnt want to wake up early again so i went before lunch. feet getting tired!

Man its a chore running on vacation but i went again before lunch. its nice having the hotel right across the street from the park! 

i hope running on vacation is easyer on my cruise in august, even though by theni'll probably haave tempos and double runs. but disneyland with all its walking and standing is making me feet sore! especially when your familymakes you the designated fast pass getter;) but hey, the run was refreshing today! 

most coolest awesomest 4 miler ive ever ran for sure! we went to a beach at laguna and i brought my running stuff because i knew a oceanside run would be legit and yes, it was sweet! it started in the middle of like, bel air area with tons of nice beach houses (more like beach mansions) along the cliff by the ocean and it was legit, and anybody who knows me knows that i have a love for awesome cars and nice expencive things so when i ran by this house that you could look down into the courtyard and there was a porche 911 and a Rolls Royce (a 4 million doller car...jk;) i was in heaven! but that wasent all! after i got out of the rich neighborhood, i got to this park thing with a trail right by the cliffs overlooking all of laguna beach and laguna beach city and holy cow what an amazingly scenic mile or so of the run! then i got on to pacific coast highway and then the cool cars...wow. ferraris, bentlys, maseratis, gtr's, lambos, aston martins, mercedes mclarens, i was on cloud 9. by the turn around i didnt want to turn around! so i added another mile:) the wayback was basically the same but backwards. next time in cali i'll have to arrange a barefoot run down a long beach or someting, maybe santa monica? hey coach! maybe at footlocker?? great run today though, nice, easy, scenic, luxurious, awesome:)

blegh:P 110 degrees! thats okay, i was getting sick of perfect weather this week anyways:'( time to extra hydrate! like mo fara once told saarel, your pee should be clear!
