"If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail"-PRE

am- 6.25 miles/ 45 min with 2x 1,2,3 min fartleks with 2min rec. I ran out across the bridge and into the fields today. I felt good, the workout went good, and Im ready for a time trial. 

Goals for next week: Get doing my RHR again, do more days of 100 ups and bench-press with a 25lb plate on each side. 

am- .5 mile warm-up, 8.7 miles/ 70 min E with striders. The best trail run ever was today!! We did none other than Prospector:) best ever. Andrew and Coach scared me pretty good in the tunnel and then on the way back through the tunnel, I kept feeling like there was a person on the side of the tunnel smiling at me!! FREAKIN SCARY!! but great run and yeah, today was awesome

am- .5 mile warm-up, 3.63 miles/ 30 min E barefoot on grass. Grass run but some lame 10 year old baseball kidos stole our field so we had to run on the sucky softball field. I am pretty butthurt about that. Oh well some day those kids well learn a lesson about wasting their time with baseball...

pm- 3.92 miles/ 30 min E. Afternoon run with the team and it was freakin hot. Got back and did weights and I accomplished my goal of 25's on each side!!! Heck to the yes! 

I did some visualization and wow it was awesome.

RHR- 48

am- .5 mile warm-up, 6 miles/ 50 min PVXC Time Trial warm/cool and then 4xhill loops and striders. What a day! So today was the time trial and it was awesome! So we wanted to pack it and push together which worked well! Preston lead the first mile and Andrew was leading-ish the first half of the second. Paul surged out a little but came back and then me and Nick surged ahead cause Andrew seemed to be struggling. And that is when Nick and I took off. We were goin and then Nick pulled ahead. I was pushing hard to go after him and then I did the unthinkable! I barfed and it was nasty. And then 200 meters later I barfed again but worse and thats when Skylar passed me and I held to my spot from there. Good race though and great effort as a team. We had 10 guys in the span of 23 seconds so that was kewl.

pm- 3.82 miles/ 30 min E. My bro Devo and I drove to the Green Springs park and ran Mustang Pass and it was really nice weather!! I love how it has been cloudy a lot. It keeps the heat off a lil' bit;)

Team night was tonight and I got a sick glow in the dark bag! 

RHR- 48

am- 5.66 miles/ 50 min E trail run. Today we did the trail over on Red Hills parkway where there is a dirt parking lot. It was pretty awesome! I feel pretty great. Nice weather and I am feelin' a great day coming in;)

pm- 3.85 miles/ 30 min E. Wow the cloudy-ness has made like a humid effect and I don't like it. It reminds me of the humidity in Nauvoo... wow that was way worst there though! Good run; we planned out how we are going to race at Cedar next week and yeah. Weights were after and that went good. did some 100 ups too. 

RHR- 47

am- 5 miles/ 46 min E. We ran the Temple quarry trail and it was awesome! Scary coming back when the lightning was goin' nuts right above us!! Great run though and I am excited to go up to BrianHead with the varsities and do an overnight camp up there:)

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. We stoppped on the way up to BrianHead at the Navajo Lake and ran around up there. It was really pretty and amazing weather. The downpour of rain stopped right when we were about to run which was nice. After the run we jumped into the lake.... wow that was cold but refreshing at the same time. 

At the cabin we played a beast game of Risk, world domination style. And I won! or should I say, Andrew and I won;)

RHR- 47

am- 9.5 miles/ 75 min with 20 min tempo finish. Wow todays run was probably the best ever! So we drove to this road and just started running up the BrianHead mountain! we got to this trail which we thought would go up the peak.... but it just rapped around the mountain and ended in front of the peak. So we did what no one would ever do(jk but very few)! We climbed up the steepest part of the peak:) yeah that was sketchy cause I had a double-watermelon-sized rock that went out from underneath me and I slid down the mountain for a couple feet but I just got a couple dime-sized cuts. The top was legit but freakin' cold! we then ran down and went on another trail going the opposite direction and then did the tempo coming back. We were goin' pretty quick but it suprisingly felt really good. Thanks to Preston for letting us stay at his family cabin. it was beast

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "revive" because I haven't done my work of the day for like 2 months! shame on me. Revive means to bring back to life! Ex: I would never want to revive Al Capone cause he was just too much of a beast!

RHR- 46

Goals for next week: I wanna get every run in, do my HR consistantly, do my 100 ups everyday, pack good at Cedar and beast and feast @ the Desert Relays!

am- 11.5 miles/ 85 min E with strong finish and striders. Dang I felt super crappy and I was really trying hard for the first time to stay with the group. I am going to go hard on the medicine so I can hopefully be ready to support the guys tomorrow at Cedar. Good run though, and great weather.

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. I ran by myself cause my date with Macey got over late. I felt bad cause I didnt tell Coach. It was really hot though. wow, really hot.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E grass run barefoot. Wow so Coach was not very happy today but that is very understandable. Like almost the whole team had not done the registration and payed the fees. So we did our run without him and it was a little awkward cause we were all pretty chastened, I just i would say. I wasnt on the list to race so that is not good.

pm- 8.1 miles/ 55 min; Cedar All-comers with warm/cool and striders (.5 uphill, .5 downhill). What a day. Played some beast Sepa and then got joggin' around to warmup. We were trying to focus on packing it up. Well it is a good thing we were practicing cause it didnt go super well. It was good but the fact that All-comers races have lots of runners who dont even know what they are doing, didn't help us cause they got in the way. I got out good and was supposed to lead the first lap but with everybody behind me trying to get out of being stuck, it was kinda like a "what-ev" lap. The second lap was decent but everybody was getting tired from putting in a lot of effort to get around so they were falling off. So Nick took off after asking Coach if he could and I wanted to go with. So I did! And it was really good. The pain was definitely there, but it was good to get use to pushing hard and getting up in the top spots even though we really just snuck in at the very end. Fun time and I am pretty happy with how it went:)

RHR- 48

am- 6.7 miles/ 50 min, Long hill/old man hill workout. Wow I was pretty tired from the race yesterday so the workout was a little tough. I had a hard time pushing so I just sat in the pack. we ended up doing 4 reps of the hills and the second half I noticed that Skylar was struggling a little bit and so I would tell him to keep pushing and that actually helped me in return. Cause when I would tell him, he would speed up and get a little ahead of the pack, which would make me surge a lil'. And the process would repeat. It was fun! And so that kept the thought of being sluggish off my mind and to stay focused on how I could make the workout better. Did some weights after the run and that went good. Got my locker in our locker room today too.

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. I was able to make it to practice cause I snuck out of the HOPE squad training meeting, but it was okay cause they were just finishing. Nice run, and I got really sweaty and smelly:)

RHR- 48

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Nice chill run on my own out and around my stake boundaries, basically. It was honestly the best running weather at 7 this morning! School starts and thats weird.

pm- 6.4 miles/ 51 min E. The run was hot and I didn't hydrate so I was dying. I survived though. Got back and did some purchasing of liquidation items that Coach has from past spirit packs. I got a dope uni and it is like nylon so it was totally worth it.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Nice run this morning. The girls went with us but I only knew cause I looked to the right at a corner to look for cars and Josie's face was right there!! Didn't see that coming!

pm- 2 miles/ 15 min E. Such a bumma, we didnt get to do our relay race vs dhills cause of the lightning. And I woulda don't some running on my own when I get home but my family and I took off to our cabin and so I didnt get any more minutes in. Oh well.

pm- 7.5 miles/ 55 min 5x4 min repeats @ hard pace with 3 min rec. Got back from the cabin and did some running at 8 when the sun was going down and it was cool weather. I ran down to the virgin river trail and did some solid pace stuff. I really worked hard on keeping my form solid when I was feeling sluggish. I thought of the Cedar all-comers when Nick pulled ahead of me on the last lap and then imagined me checking my form and keeping it together and going with him. It worked pretty well. My paces for the hard repeat things were 5:56min pace, 5:57min pace, 5:58min pace, 5:39min pace, and finished with 6:00min pace. It was fun. Now I will go to bed.

RHR- 48

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "sleep" because I got tons of it this morning/last night. I slept from 11pm to 9:40am, which was the longest time for me to sleep. It was crazy. And I woke up to a text from a babe so it was totally fine;) Sleep is when all your body, besides the brain, relaxes and enjoys some chill time. Ex: I am going to finish this post and go to sleep.

Goals for next week: Do my resting heartrate(RHR) everyday, do 20 sit-ups everyday, have fun everyday. And drink 100oz or more..... everyday

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Nice chill morning run wid da team

pm- 12 miles/ 85 min E? with striders. Wow it is freakin' hot!! So today was our long run of the week and the temperature dial was reading........ 112!!!! Freak, I coulda cooked up some delicious omelets on a car or house or almost anything! Wow yeah I am just exhausted from that heat and long time of running and stuff. I will survive though.

am- 3.9 miles/ 30 min E. Nice recovery run before we do the Desert Relays today later.... wow this is gonna be a tough week.

pm- 7 miles/ 55 min Desert Relays. Warm/cool and 3x4min repeats with 4 min rec. Todays race was pretty good. So Nick and Mitch didn't have very good races cause they seem to be exhausted from yesterdays long run.... I wouldn't have felt good but I got a vitamin thing from my bro Danny and it saved my body. Such good stuff! Anywho, the when it got to me on the relay(i was last/third), we were in fifth behind two dhills teams and the B and C teams of PV. So I booked it after our teams. I passed Skylar on the way down and got right behind Jason. But then 300 left Skylar and Jason used their beast sprinting skills and so I just tried my best to go after them. I actually had a really awesome finish. And then the workout after was real chill, not really hard at all. Good day

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, good weather.

pm- 3.8 miles/ 30 min E barefoot grass run. Nice chill run at Sandstone. Seth almost killed me and I flipped. I am going to figure out some gnarly portuguese slang and use it on him.... hehe I am so EVIL!!

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and I almost killed everybody since I didn't exactly look before crossing the street... oops

pm- 6.15 miles/ 54 min 2sets of 3x1min sand hills, equal rec; with a 3 min rec between each set. Wow I hate sand in my eyes with a passion. Sand hill workout and it was really good, except for when someone was in front of me and sand got in my eye. So that was my motivator to push hard. But the workout was solid and fun. And did some weights after and that was beast.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and Andrews future sister-in-law is NOT his mother.

pm- 5.5 miles/ 35 min E with 4x200s prerace stuff. Nice run out into the Industrial park and over to Sullivans. Preston found a BMW thing and so he had to throw it at the next BMW that drove by. Which happened to be some domos and they got all butthurt. Oh well, they asked for it with their BMW car. Then we ran up the big hill and touched the lucky Eagle for good luck. Came back and did the 200s like men and that is a wrap!

am- 8.5 miles/ SUU Invite, warm cool and striders (1/2 uphill, 1/2 downhill). Great day for running in Cedar, thats for sure! I was really feeling pretty nice and health and ready to go. The race starts and I got out and over to make room for our team and we got out great. Going up the loop and back down we sat on the back of the line of the top 10 dudes. We waited way to long to pass Boston so everybody seem to fall off again. So Nick and I just surged on and passed Boston, and then the last lap Nick surged ahead but I stayed pretty close. I got in front of Bryson at about 200 meters before the top of the park? Somethin like that. Then on the finish straight-away he got me. I coulda passed him back but my bananas were starting to come up and so I was balancing the elements;) Great race, and lots of fun! I gotta shirt so I was happy. 

WORD OF THE DAY: the word is "reading" because that is all I am gonna be doing this year. I got 4 classes which require me to read everyday so it is gonna be a tough year. Reading is the process of intaking information through text using your eyeballs. Ex: I was reading all night to be ready for the first AP psychology test the next day. 

Goals for next week: Stay healthy by taking my vitamins and stuff, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, stay on top of my reading homework for APUSH and AP psych, and most importantly, have fun and find "joy in the journey".

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and Carson was sleep-running;)

pm- 12 miles/ 85 min w/ 2x(1,2,1 min farkleks with 4 min rec.) and striders and weights. It is a great day to be a panther! haha oh boy, I have just been having fun with school so far. Life is great, I just wanna say. Anywho, todays run was a toughy, but good for my body in the long run.... hehehe get it? hehe alright so we did the usual run out across the bridge and to treasure park and back. Tons better than last time weather wise! And something awesome happened today..... I found a super nice water bottle on the side of the road, so I obiviously snagged it and now have cleaned it out to be used tomorrow! That just made my day. The fartleks were tough cause my legs were sore, but it was good. Did some weights after and that was awesome cause I matched my reps record and I also did some dips which I didn't even know I could do them! Oh and I check my weight and I lost 3 pounds.... idk if that is a good thing or not. oh well

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "bottle" because of the beast water-bottle that I found. A Bottle is a container which holds liquids. Ex: When I was a baby, I drank from a bottle.

Resting Heart Rate- 46 

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and Andrew was struggling even though we were already going slow

pm- 3.85 miles/ 30 min E. Oh the weather today was definitely sent from heaven!! So awesome to have cloud cover for the first time in like 3 weeks? idk it has been so long. We ran through the neighborhoods and looped it over by the middle schoolhouse and back through some more stuff. I found a shopping cart and I was pushing it back to the high school since we were just down the street but I got tired so I just left it for the level 2 guys who pushed it a lil' farther and then they left it. Wow oh well. Great day and I am still loving life! Things are goin well with this bae in my grade. We will see where that goes

WORD OF THE DAY: the word on the street today is gotta be "pass" cause that is what happened when I took my first test in Coach Holt's APUSH class. Oh yeah!! To pass is the act of going beyond a certain mark. Ex: I hope I pass the next few tests in Language Arts or I will get kicked out of honors (true story). 

Resting Heart Rate- 46

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and the discussion on "if i can do it, it will happen" was goin. Wow it was really intense. I say we should all join debate after that!

pm- 7.25 miles/ 55 min Time Trial with 2x800s @race pace with 3 min rec. Great race for the team and I! So the humidity was a little more than usual and the temp was a lil' lower. The race gets going and it is just pack and rotate leads. We did really well. I felt great so the last lap coming back up the park, Nick was starting to pull ahead so I went after him and that brought the whole pack in. Then on the hill right by the parking lot I pushed real good cause that was where Nick left me in the dust last time. And this time I came out in front and then I just took off and held off Andrew and won it. My time was 10:28.04 which was a 22 second PR and our 1-5 split was 8 seconds. Pretty cool stuff today and I am just getting excited for Herriman to see what we can do against the 5A teams there. Oh and the workout after went good too. 

WORD OF THE DAY: "bye" because I gotta go to sleep. Bye is a parting or farewell word. Ex: Bye.

Resting heart rate- 47

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and the old dude on the bike actually said hi to me. First time ever!! What a life-changing event

pm- 5.55 miles/ 45 min E trail run. Today we did my fav trail run, Prospector!! I scared Andrew in the long tunnel. It was pay back for the last time we were in there:) Wow hot day though, I am glad it was just a 45 minute run. Good day and yeah.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and its friday. Finally.

pm- 3.8 miles/ 30 min E barefoot grass-run with weights afterward. Grass run at Sandstone. The girls found a foam football and the freshy guys stole it so the whole time we were running it was a battle for the ball. The guys obviously won, just before the time ran out. So beast. Weights after was good, I got a scare from doing squats for the first time in a while when after my hip flexer was feeling way tight and I was hurting bad. 

am- 8 miles/ 55 min hilly run with striders. We met at the Sullivan park and ran up the road and over to the parkway road. Once we got to the top we flipped and came back on the side trail and went through Hell's Hole and yeah. The run felt good. I am sore from yesterday doing weights, but its good. Striders were good. Life is good.

Car wash wid the team was beast and that was the busiest car wash I have ever been to....ever!

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and it's just another Manic Monday!! and we almost died twice, it was scary.

pm- 12.1 miles/ 85 min with 2x(1,2,1min fartleks) 4 min rec and striders and weights. Wow what a run. Monday long runs are so gnarly. We changed it up a lil' and went into Washington and looped through the new development and then to the top of green springs and over to the rich dudes. The huge house up on the top of Green Springs has a name!! Its name is Bramasole. So sick I think I will name my first-born son..... hopefully I have a son.... or get married..... Anywho, the farkleks were good and the run was actually real nice. Weights after went good and I am feeling pretty fine. 

RHR- 46
