USU

6xmile repeats at about 6:30 pace more or less, mostly less. then 3 miles afternoon, well night. the lightning was scarry! did all this up at the dirt mile.

30/30's today, abel and I did 31 of them. felt pretty good actually! hot afternoon run.

5k today up in enterprise. we woke up early and met at coaches at 5am to get to the 6:30 race up in enterprise. we got there, registered then searched for a restroom. when we got out, everyone was gone. apparantly there were busses that take everyone clear up into the canyon where the race apparantly started... it was a very very stressfull 10 minutes whyle all 4 of us ( abel matt me and kyler) had to catch a last minute ride up the canyon from one of the locals. made it just in time luckily, but we had maybe a half mile warm up...

the race started and placement started pretty quick with abel and i, coach holt and the DH coach fielding in the lead (coaches were doing the 10k) with matt and kyler right behind us and colton not much farther back. not much else happened actually. matt and kyler fell back a little, but held a good pace throughout. same with colton. abel and i were helped out by the coaches as they kept the pace about 5:15 the whole race. the last mile came in no time and i took no hesitation on making a move into it by catching coach fielding who pulled ahead 10 or 20 meters or so. abel slowly caught up and we had another .75 miles or so. we kept a quick pace up untill the last 300 meters or so and i tried making a move on abel but he was going pretty quick as well. i think if the race was a bigger deal like a HS race i would have caught him easy, but that kid has quite the kick, so you never know! i shoulda gone for it but i knew we both ran really well and i just let us finish quick. Abels time: 16:20, mine 16:23. matt and kyler and colton were about a minute or two behind.

Pine view had the top 12345 sweep! and coach won the 5k so PV all the way!

(radioactive green beans, 5 miles)

afternooon did a quick 3 miles with the team, and had a swim party after at coaches. planning for camp too! super excited. 

half mile to and from practice. half mile barefoot warm up with the usual core and agility warm ups. then we went down into hells hole for hill workouts. the usual rolling hill trail we use for these washed out and there was work being done on it. so we went to the hill that the canyon gets its name from: hells hole, named appropriately. we did 4x1:00 sprints and 6x:30 sprints. they were tough on that steepe of a hill, but actually werent too bad! i can definantly tell im getting stronger.                                                                                                                                                    :: pm, went to the school, did the usual 3 then lifted some weights.

nice easy 10 miler, about 7:30 pace average. i was chaffeing really bad though, i put on A&D after though and hopefully i can survive camp next week:) shoulda wore my pegasus or something though, the connects seemed kinda thin for 10 miles. im also really likeing my new asics gell lyte 33 two's! maybe my new favorite?
