did good i dont know if i got sub five or not will find out soon

ran the 4x400 and started our team out good and they did the rest!

am- the usual 3

pm- it was a super legit workout today that i kinda liked actually if it wasnt soo cold! it was 2min. hard, 1 min rest, 1min hard, 30sec rest, 30sec hard, 2min rest. And we did that four times!!!! crazy but i did great so hooray!

4 with 4x200

am- we did mile repeats and i did pretty legit again! i just love running in the morning. so the first one was pretty good, 5:35, and i felt like i was gonna die out the next ones cause my goal time was 5:37 but i just kept pushing and going with Andrew and Matt and it was great! Second repeat was 5:30. i kept feeling great and coach said to push hard on the third and so thats what i did; 5:25!! i am ready to qualify for BYU in the mile. last was great finished right behind Paul; 5:27. altogether a great workout. I'm excited for the next track meet.

pm- easy 3 wid striders, tons of peeps gone cause senior ditch or whatever and all the sprinters didnt go cause of that and the other freshman were lazy and didnt go, except for Josie, Cari and Mitch. 

am- easy 3

pm- COe workout and it was legit! i have never sprinted that good. need to convert that to my finish for races. hit all my times, a little fast on a few of them.

today was 4 miles with 4x200.

am- the usual 3

pm- the mile and it was a great race but i havent had a great finish for a lot of races so thats what im gonna do @ SUU. i was on track to break 5 but my finish wasnt strong enough so i barely missed it. need to keep my body temp. low before i start though. it was burning today. 

so i was gonna go to team practice but i woke up with swollen eyes and they were completely red. it was scary! so i waited til they were feeling better to run the workout, which was at 7ish. the workout was 600(R),400(R),300(R-3),200(R-5),100(R-2). Goal times were 1:52, 1:14, :53, :32, and :15. i was ten seconds off the first one cause my dog was cutting me off and then blind-side slammed me while i was running on the track. *NOTE= dont bring a dog on your run when your running fast*. all the rest were right on tho and a couple were a second fast. 

so we met at the warbys and went running on the trail that goes under the freeway (by the way, that tunnel was soo legit! felt so weird but i wanna do that run again.) and then out into the desert and yeah. on the way back we did a tempo last 1.5 miles at 5:30 pace. I feel great in the morning! after we had breakfast provided by the great Warby parents. It was sooo good food.

am- oh wow today was a toughy! My legs were really tired and i didnt push as hard as i usually do. Times were 5:26, 5:38, 5:36, and 5:36. Just wasnt feeling it today. Then the 300s i got :51 and :50. Did weights and plyos after. My knee was giving me stress sooo bad. I dont know why. gonna ice.

pm- running around with my lil' sis Karissa. Holey freak my knee feels like its been trampled. icing right now.

today was 8x400 @ race pace minus 3-4 secs. with decreasing recovery and Harts warm/cool. My goal time was 1:10 but coach said that we need to be on target for the repeat at the 300m mark cause the last 100 was in the crazy wind. So i was pretty much on for every 300m of it and the times for the 400s were 1:09, 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:12, and 1:11. My knee was hurtin pretty bad but i toughed it out:)

am- easy 3 AC.

pm- Ran 4 down into the fields on the Millcreek trail. While we were running i fell (second time in running this year!) and got all cut up. It was stupid. Then after Mitch, Zach, Jake, Bryan, and me did 4x200s to get ready for the meet tomorrow since we are the only distance guys running in it.

am- easy 3 AC and book discussion

pm- race day!! so i got 5:00 again for the third time and i am ready to break 4:55 next meet. i started out in the lead for the first 2 1/2 laps and then spencer and scott caught me and i stuck behind um and then with 200 left i tried to kick but it was a horrid kick and Jake flew by and so did Boston and then with 50 left Ethan Ashby told me i sucked cause i dropped so i kick hard and beat Scott. 

then the 3200 was only me, Jake, Mitch, Nephi, and some 8th grader from D-Hills. i got first at 10:58 but it was weird running it. i really liked it tho. its a fun, and surprisingly fast race. Small meet and im super mad that SUU is cancelled, lost my BYU qualifying chances.

Sandbergs 4 mile run with striders after. Trevor came and me and him talked about his high school running days. He gave me tips on how to run and stuff. really good run. little windy tho

Cam, Preston, Jake, Bryan and me went to Mustang Pass and it was suppa legit! Preston took some pics and yeah. strong finish at the end. my knee was hurting before the strong finish but thats it. We went to Bryans after and had some way good breakfast burritos! 

am- easy 3 AC wid plyos afterward. felt greater than ever!

pm- I BROKE 5!!!!!! yeah i was feeling great and i just knew i was breaking 5, the question was if i would qualify. i pushed super hard the first lap at a 1:07(lil' too fast:) and Sage and Scott said that my first 200m was :29 so i was goin way crazy! someone at the start was trying to cut me off so sorry to who that was for elbowing you in the ribs nice and hard. Anyways, my second lap was 1:12 so i slowed down obviously i was tried and then my third lap felt great, i was pushing hard. then came that freakin last lap that always kills me... but it didnt today! i wanted to qualify so bad so i just went crazy with 200 left and got 4:56! Didn't qualify but it feels great to break 5.

We did our workout after and it was 2400 (best ave), 1600 (95%) w/3min rec. So my goal time for the 2400 was 8:15, but i smashed that with a 7:50. then the 1600 was a little slow; goal time 5:30 and i got 5:38ish. then we went to the track and did two 300s all out and i got :48 and :49.

So it was super windy and cold out in Canyon View but it was a strong race besides that.  So me and Mitch went out for a warm-up and had a nice chat bout life and then came back and it looked like we missed the race but we were back early.  But before we did that we were over at Artic Circle wid the guys that came to do their workout.  So we start and me and logan go out strong but logan took the lead and didn't give it up. I was feelin that Artic Circle food was gonna come out both of my ends, if ya know what i mean!  So each lap Cam would yell "go for that record!" and thats what got me going along with coach screamin at me to get Logan.  So with 2 laps left i noticed that Logan started slowing down and i tried to speed up but i just wasnt feelin it.  Came in at 11:04.91 but Coach Holt was saying that i would have got a major PR without the wind so I'm excited to hopefully run it @ region. did a mile warm-up and cool-down.

So I get home and i have a tough go with life and all that great stuff and so i take my dog on what i thought was going to be a easy 3.... Well it wasn't an easy 3. I ran around at 6:40-7:00 mile pace and got to the high school and was just mad with life so I jumped on the track and did an all out 400, 200,100 all after each other with some recovery after each and i felt a little better. I'm ready to go out and put my guts on the track with the Kosmin tomorrow.

am- easy 3 AC

pm- today was the Kosmin #3 and it went great! i started out and Josh and Jake cut me off and i could get around them til the end of the second minute. my distance total was 1434 and i think the mile conversion time is 4:49ish. I improved by like 70 meters tho so it was great.
