Craik Evans LPHS Running

Today we started to run in the foothills up at bonneville shoreline. Zach, Justin, and I went fast, and I was pretty tired. It did feel good to have a long run. It was scary when we saw a duck.

Today I ran 6.39 miles. We had 5 600 Meter hills today. We also had 15 minute warm up and cool downs. Twas a good time.

Today I ran a total of 9.79 Miles. It wasn't the hardest thing I've done, but it's good to get some distance on my legs. At lone peak today I ran 5 miles, then, when I got home I ran 4.79 at lambert park. Lambert park was pretty fast because I didnt feel very tired.  Total time was 59:04 seconds. We had strength training and it was hard.

Today I ran 9.19 miles. It was a little rough, because it was at a 10k race pace, and we ran more than a 10k. It was also very windy and snowing. Overall it was difficult, but it wasn't the hardest run we've done. No strength training today because it is an A-Day.

An easy 5 miles, weak I know, but me and Justin got to the school and the rest of varsity had left except for Jamison. We did fun stuff after.

Hogs Hollow. I had a good time up the hill, and I decided it is my favorite run that starts with an "H".

Awful race today. I didn't pr and I just didn't feel good. I have no idea what went wrong, but I won't let that happen again. But I'm still glad I could go race with my bros. 

Well it's been a while since I've posted... But anyway I ran the wall today, by myself. It was really cold and rainy and windy, but it was a good time. My legs still feel really tired from the 2 mile yesterday. The reason it's such a short run is because it involved the wall!

Well I am going to post now and hopefully through school season.  Today we had a solid 8 Mile run . We went through alpine just because it seemed like a good idea. Anyway it was briskly paced and I am very excited for grass relays!

Today we had a chill pre race run. It ended up at 6 total mileage including 6 100 meter strides. We also ran the course,which I am way excited for! HAHA GDFR BABY

Today was Grass Relays. I was quite happy with my performance as with the rest of the boys team. During the race i stuck with a desert hills dude, and at the end I passed him on the road stretch. I was really worried that I was going to run into a fat dude but I used my AGILITY to hop out of the way... I have no clue what that guy was doing there... Anyway it was good I was glad to win, way way way excited for BYU, I think that Desert Hills dude will be there. It will be an interesting race for sure.

Well Ya unexpected 400 workout to get the good old legs movin. Me and Galen kicked the last baby in at 60

Today was BYU. I started out with a solid warm up of 17 ish minutes. At the beginning of the race I started out well and didn't have to run through a lot of guys. I wanted to stay with Justin and then I sled up a bit and tried to stay with a Lehi guy. In the last 400 I was so dead tired and I fell away from the lehi guy and Justin almost got me at the line. Anyway I got a dope t shirt from the race so ya. 3 mile cool down.

First post in quite a while, NXR has inspired me. Anyway, today we were supposed to get 8 miles in at a recovery or easy pace. We decided to do Mountain Run, which as usual is a solid 6:20 average pace, but it didn't feel 6:20 so who cares. Justin went home at 6 miles because of his knee, then me and Zack were going pretty fast. After that, I was supposed to ice but it was colder than Galen's risk strategy, so I went home. Shortly after my arrival my dad asked me if I wanted to lift weights, so we went downstairs and I started reppin 100 lbs and my arms hurt, then I went to the leg excersises, which hurt very much. Anyways I think it is safe to say tommorows workout is going to feel quite swell.

Distance wasn't the longest, but it was a workout. 800, 600, 400 2 times. Fairly quick, mostly me and Seth stayed together, while Jamison was a little bit ahead. Cooled down and took an ice bath. Solid day.

Pretty slow paced run at about 7:45 pace. Ryan told us to take it easy in prep for our 400 workout tommorow. Glad to see Jacob Warner after a while of him at college.

Today was a pretty solid run. I got up at 7:20 and felt pretty tired for some reason, but I realized if I didn't run now I wouldn't do it later. Anyways a solid 12 x 400 meters. Almost all of them were at about 68 except for 2 over 70 which was quite weird. It was cold but we got through it. 

Today we ran from legacy around suncrest and back to the park. It was chilly outside, but I was dressed for success. Overall a solid run.

Today it snowed most of the night and I didn't really get up because i was a girl scout. But later at like sunset time, I ran and did 2 miles easy pace, then a 5:35 mile, then a mile easy, then a 5:15 mile, .5 mile easy, then a 67 400 meter, .25 easy then, a 74 400(...through a snowy grass field...). Anyways very solid and then I just ran back to the house for however long that was.

Pretty Ok run up on Bonneville. It was lightly blanketed in snow, but just enough as to be a good time. My stomach felt a little weird but it got better toward the end. THEN, we took our team pics for nike nationals!!!!! Good times as we were all dressed up in turtlenecks, so we had a considerable amount of class.

8 X 400 today. Relatively easy. I had to go to the bathroom in the last 2. Cool down for 2

6 down to AF high. Ran through grass relays course, then we went over to were some of the dudes were paying wall ball, I got like 6 outs in 30 seconds and had to stand on the wall and nobody could hit me haha. 

This workout was the COOLEST!!! We warmed up to Nikes track, and did a 3min 2min 1min on the track. It was a beautiful track. Cooled down back to tiger woods building, then had our legs "repaired". Great run and I felt good. Very excited for the race!

Most excellent run today. We ran the course for NXN, which was a little bit muddy but it seemed alright. Fun and easy. Excited and Nervous for the race.

I woke up this morning and all of the sudden I realized that I was racing at nationals. So I started to get real nervous. Then I remembered Evan Jager's advice: "If you are nervous, that means you care." Anyway the flag went down and the gun went off. I realized that if I don't take it out fast I never run a very fast race, so I just went out and focused on the ground to make sure I didn't fall. Then at the 1 mile mark I just hung with Seth. At about 2000 meters, Seth, Justin, and I were running all really close. It stayed that way till 2.5 miles. Then Justin and Seth started pullin away a little bit. Then we just kicked it in at about the same speed, they were just 65 yards away. Anyway it was a very prestigious race. S/O to Conner Baller who finished 9th at footlocker west and secured himself a spot at Foot Locker Nationals.

Easy day just to get race out of legs.

Planned on getting 3-4 but Zack and I went on the ice for the pond and fell in................. Pretty scary, but we just shimmied our way back onto the ice. We were freezing and cut up so we went back. Props to Chris for helping Zack out in the face of danger.

I dont know how to convert eliptical distance, but we arent supposed to start training again till monday, so i just figured id do an easy 30 mins on the old eliptical while watching some cool music videos.
