| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and the star were freakin' gorgeous!!
pm- 8 miles/ 60 min 1600, 1200, 1000, 800, 400 meter @ race pace w/ 3 min rec. So the Dixie Allcomers race was today so the varsity boys and girls ran the workout at 4. On my way over I was listening to "The eye of the Tiger" and it was freakin' awesome. Anywho, the workout went pretty well today, at least individually. As a varsity it wasn't the prettiest but we did run 12.1 miles yesterday so that is that. But yeah, the workout went well. After we made a sick cheer for the race and also played 4-square and it was kewl. And the ball went bouncing over to Laynee Wells and so I went over to get it and we spoke a few words and then she did a kewl trick and yeah. She is pretty and kewl so I'm thinking that I should go strawberry emoji with that;)
WORD OF THE DAY: the word is "absolve" because the big man Pope Francis came out and said that the priests can forgive the "sin of abortion" during the Holy Year. Absolve means to clear out or erase from recognition. Ex: I don't need to absolve the "sin of abortion" because I can't even produce babies in me!!

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and I scared the girls sooo good!! Wow it was definitely the highlight of my day:)
pm- 3.85 miles/ 30 min E barefoot grassrun. Chill run at Sandstone elementary. We talked about me being a human sacrifice for the team. If ya want to know more, contact Nick Hill, he has all the specifics.
WORD OF THE DAY: today the word is "scarred" because that is what happened to me when I was walking to seminary today. I was about to walk passed this girl and then like this other came over and got in front of me. I was about to say something like "hey watch out" but then the two girls like kissed right in front of me!! PDA!!! Wow so gross. Scarred is the past tense of scar, whichh is to leave a mark from a wound or burn. Ex: I was scarred after the thing that happened on my way to seminary.

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E and plyos. Good morning and I am tired. Homework is at a record high.
pm- 6.4 miles/ 55 min 2x(3x1min sand hill sprints) with 3 min rec between sets. weights afterwards. The workout today was really good actually. We did the sand hill repeats and I felt a lot stronger than last week. I was able to push up with Nick and that was good. The heat was a little higher than usual but nothing like a few weeks ago. Anywho, the running is going great and I got date this weekend with Alli P so that is kewl. I talked with her after practice today about a thing that has been stressing me lately and that was nice to have someone to talk to. So thanks Al-bal
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word of the day is "utes" cause they had a beast game today against Michigan and won 24-17. Utes is a term used for the indian tribe that populated most of the area covered in present day Utah and Colorado. Ex: I learned about the utes in like 4th grade.... I think.

| | am- 8 miles/ 60 min moderate pace @ run-a-thon. Wow I am pooped! so the run-a-thon went well. I ran all my mile segments in 6:03 and yeah. The 400's at the end were crazy. I was pretty tired. Oh I totally won in Just Dance 4 and that was pretty awesome!
Goals for next week: Be healthy, eat the right amount of food, put my full effort in for myself and the team this weekend at Murray Invite!! and sing the National Anthem proudly at the start line!

| | am- 12 miles/ 90 min with 2x(1,2,1 min farkleks with 4 min rec). SICKEST RUN EVER!!!! So Mitch, Andrew, Braden and I met at the roundabout for the prospector trail and then dropped off a car at the end of the trail in Red Cliffs Reserve AND yes!!!!! We ran the whole Prospector trail!!!! Oh my gosh, best thing ever. I felt sooo good and just let myself enjoy the amazing weather of St. George this morning at 7am. Wow, seriously my favorite run ever. Hands down. Solid run and Braden did a pretty decent job of goin with us on most of the fartleks so props to that guy! After the run we were stretching and this dude like floors it in reverse just to come back the road and tell us he saw his first rattlesnake this morning. Hahaha oh man it just cracked me up!
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "temple" cause yesterday I walked around it with some buddies and this very attractive senior girl and cheer captain Sara Hancock asked me for my number!! Wow that was pretty awesome. The Temple is most holy place and building/structure on the face of this earth. And it is also the sides of your forehead where your optic nerves connect your eyeballs to your brain! Ex: My brother lost a 1/4 of his sight in his left eye cause he got hit in the temple by Andrew's dad when they were playing Ultimate Frisbee.

PV Time Trial #3 @ region south course (2 Miles) 00:10:23, Place overall: 2 | | am- all the team is at rest cause it is recovery week
pm- 8.6 miles/ 60 min, Time Trial warm/cool and then 2x800s w/ 3min rec. What a day!! I going to homecoming, I danced with this very attractive girl in my social dance(btw, she is not the only attractive one though!), I got challenged to eat a jalapeño from a special needs kid(his name is Colton and he is such an awesome kid), and I went and raced a great race at the time trial. The weather was definitely not as good as the last time trial, but it was still good. The race was definitely different though. This time it was really just me and Nick leading the whole race which was a bummer that we didn't get a rotation going with everybody but the team seemed to be a lil' tired. Anywho, the last lap coming back up, Nick breaks away when we were starting to come back up. I caught back up but on the hill at 500 left he broke away. I had a strong finish and kept Skylar off. hehehe Skylar! jk Skylar is a beast! I love that guy. after the workout was good and yeah.
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "Dad" cause it's my Dads birthday!! Wow I don't know if I am as close to anyone besides my dad. He is such a great guy. Dad is the father of the family and prosides over the family. Ex: I love my dad.

Murray Cross Invite 2015 (3 Miles) 00:16:50, Place overall: 29 | | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and it is race-day!!
pm- 8 miles/ 60 min Murray Invite with warm/cool. Wow what a race!! So the race starts and I just get right on Nick cause that is what Coach said to do. I was right behind him for the first mile and then him and the lead pack broke away and my stomach felt like it was getting sqeezed. I got passed by like 15 people during mile 2 and a half. Then Mitch passed me at like 600 meters left and yelled at me. We went up the hill and then with 300 meters left I just felt decent so I went for it. I passed almost all the dudes who passed me before and passed 5 dudes in the last 10 meters. It was so beast. Not the best overall race, but definitely my best finish and best start. Good learning experience and I'm looking forward to Nebo in a couple weeks.

| | am- 7.8 miles/ 60 min new state course runthrough. 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2 min farkleks with 2 min rec. The new state course is pretty kewl actually! We ran it just chill the first time through and then did farkleks the second time through and backwards for half. I honestly felt tired but halfway decent at the same time. Good workout and good run.
Goals for next week: Stay healthy, get reading better in APUSH and AP psych and Sacred Hoops and Scriptures, and also remember to do my RHR.

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning, and Skylar is all butthurt about some BYU stuff. Hahaha the poor guy is probably put out that BYU got ranked higher than Utah!
pm- 12.45 miles/ 85 min with 2x1,2,1min fartleks w/ 4 min rec. Striders and weights afterwards. What a day! It was a great long run out into Middleton and over to Dixie rock and back. I felt real sluggish and here is why! So at school today in AP Psychology, we watched a brain surgery. hooray except for the fact that I am a wimp and felt all quezzy. So after the video, Mrs. Martineau was like asking us what we learned and I raise my hand up to ask if I can go take a breather outside and she looks at me and is like "oh my gosh, you are going to pass out!" and then I am like trying to get out of my seat and I just go completely numb/limp and I start tipping over! So she and my good friend Zach caught me and then laid me down in the front of the room. And there I stayed for about 10 minutes. Fun huh? haha oh boy so then I go down to the office and into the health room and eat some thin mints and a Capri-sun to get sugar in me and then I started feeling better. But wow, what a scary thing! AND come to find out, I was the 4th person to pass out from that video:) And also Coach Roberts passed out on the run, and this sophmore passed out during PE today and an ambulance had to come! What a day. BUT on the good side, for being Athlete of the Month, I got a free 10 oz coupon to Yogurtland!!
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "third" cause that is what our PV girls got at Murray Cross Invite!! They are so fast and attractive. Third is when you come into a order/placing after two other participating parties. Ex: The Pine View girls got third to Davis and American Fork at the Murray Cross Invite.

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and Andrew was doing the usual on Tuesday mornings;) The poor guy just is always dead on Tuesday mornings.
pm- 8 miles/ 60 min; warm/cool, 3 sets (1000 I pace, 3 min rec, 600 R pace) w/ 5 mins between sets. What a workout!! So we met at the Bloomington park today and did a beast workout. It went real well actually! The times went as such: 3:27, 1:52, 3:25, 1:55(uphill), 3:18, 1:54(uphill). It was a real work, and my legs were kinda-ish spent which was good cause it forced me to work on going fast even though I was tired. Oh btw, the goal paces were 3:15-3:25 for the 1000's, and 1:45-1:55 for the 600's. Good day and no passing out or anything crazy like that;)
WORD OF THE DAY: todays term is "flash flood" because there has sadly been 16, possibly 20 deaths from the flash flood in Southern Utah from the heavy rains the last couple days. So everybody say your prays for those families affected because they would love that. A flash flood is a sudden flood after a heavy rain storm which can cause a lot of damage to it's path it takes/makes. Ex: There has been people who died in Zions and the city Hildale from the flash flood.

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. A little bit of a scare this morning in my neighborhood before the run with a gunman who freakin me out by pointing it at me. Wow I was shaking so bad. Good thing he was like a house away. We ended up running up Green Springs to be safe.
pm- 3.8 miles/ 30 min E barefoot grassrun. Nice run at Sandstone. Today was a pretty beast day at school. I learned about phantom pains in Psychology and wow, our minds are sooo powerful!
WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "debate" because today was the Republican presidental debate and I want Rubio to win cause he has a legit last name. For real though. To debate is to have a arguement over a topic and two sides are choosen. Ex: I had a debate with Anna Baker at the Debate Club table during club rush and our topic was "Shorts or pants".

| | am- 4 miles/ 31 min E. Good morning and plyos were a lil' rough on my back. I was hurting really bad!
pm- 6.5 miles/ 55 min 2sets of 3x1min sand hills w/ 3 min rec between sets. Weights afterward. Oh what an awesome workout!! We did the sand hills and it was just amazing. So the rain kinda made the sand a little easier to run on so that was nice. And it was really kewl cause Nick, Andrew and I actually got all the way up the hill and started going down the other side!! And we did that for every single repeat! Wow it was just great. It was just great. And I'm glad my back didn't hurt cause that would have been a bummer. And after the run we had weights and that was good. I was finally able to bench 25lbs on each side and do that 3x5 so yeah.
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "integrity" because two good souls from Taylorsville High School found a wallet on the curb of the parking lot and it had $2,700 dollars in it, cash!! They returned it to the school office and the owner came and got it. Such good dudes. Integrity is the quality of being honest and morally righteous in all the person's actions. Ex: Don't steal from the store, have some integrity.

pm- 4.08 miles/ 25 min E with 4x200's. Nice chill afternoon run out to Sandbergs Resort and back. We looped down to Marlar's lair and it was actually scary! But we all survived without any stings so that is good.

| | am- 8.6 miles/ Bicentennial Park Park workout - 1,2,3 min Goal Race Pace fartlek w/ 2 min recovery (3 sets). Today was probably one of the best days for me. So the varsities did the workout instead of the CV invite. The workout on the SUU/region course went really well. We were just 2or3 meters away from Nick in the farkleks compared to 15-20 last week. And there was a pack of 5 of us instead of me and Paul last week. Great run for us and wow!! Talk about Carson Horspool!! He is soooo fun to watch race and he did amazing! 3rd in the varsity race! And our JV guys who ran varsity today placed top 3 as a team. Freakin JV!! Ya gotta love that guy. And my boy Mikey, a freshy, beasted today in the varsity race as well!
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is gonna be "interception" because so far, that is all UCLA's quarterback has been throwing!! Wow 3 interceptions in the first half. hehe wow. Interception is known as the act of a defensive football player to catch a pass from the offensive team, usually the quarterback. Ex: UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen has thrown 3 interceptions in the first half of the game against BYU.
Goals for next week: Stay healthy and take my vitamins, stay positive, enjoy life, find joy in the journey. Keep up with homework(especially reading for APUSH and AP psych and seminary)

It was sooo freakin' awesome! Everybody was saying that I was on crack, but I just felt so good. The cool temps were just perfect. Such an awesome run.
pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Nice chill afternoon run since this morning we did the long run and workout. Got a shirt today from the pep assembly so that was beast!
WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "tux" cause i just got mine for Homecoming this weekend. Wow its gonna be beast! A tux is a fancy suit that is wore at special occasions. Ex: I am going to wear my tux at Homecoming this weekend.

pm- 7.5 miles/ 4x1000 I-R pace w/ 3 mins rec and Wave Hills (uphill and downhill practice). Good workout today. We went down to the park between the elemntary and the middle schools and did some repeats. I struggled getting into the first one especially when we hit the last 300m and were suppposed to pick it up. But the rest I did pretty well. I was super tired though. But the whole workout was pretty sucessful.

Nebo Invitational @ Maple Mountain (3 Miles) 00:16:04, Place overall: 17 | | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and I am feeling great actually!
pm- 8 miles/ 55 min: Nebo Invite race, warm/cool. What a race. So we start and I just got right behind nick but a couple meters back. at a little before a mile, I started moving up and I was right behind the 4 adn 5 AF guys. Then I should have moved passed them but I sat for a lil' and that caused one to get ahead and one to get behind me but he ended up beating me in the end. It was a good race, but I wish I coulda changed a couple things but it is all a learning experience.

| | pm- 7.5 miles/ 55 min: 1,2,3 R pace fartleks (2 sets) (downhill practice). Did the workout with Skylar at the reigon south course and it was pretty good. Even though Skylar fell off every single time, it was good for me to push myself when I might have that moment in a race.

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and this is gonna be a hard week.
pm- 7.5 miles/ 3x1600 (varying near RP) + 200F w/ 3 mins rec (15 warm and cool to time). Wow what a workout. Such a confidence booster for sure. So the goal time that Paul told me I should go for was 15:45. So the times I needed to hit was 5:05, 5:30, and 5:10. So the first was easy-ish cause it was the first but it was quick. The second was cheese. The last I really had to push the third lap in order to get right in there. But I was pretty close on all. I hit 5:07, 5:27, and 5:12. Solid day and I was super happy I was able to accomplish the goal of the workout. Great day to be a Panther:)

| | am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and APUSH test is tomorrow.
pm- 7 miles/ 50 min total; 15 min tempo + 10x100/100 (F/float) (15 warm and cool to time). Today's workout was super-duper hard for me. So we did a warm up and then a 15 min tempo at 6:00min pace and right when we finished that we went right into 10x100m all out/100m at the tempo pace. It was way hard for me to go from all out to the tempo pace. I actually got better at it the last few. And my 100's all out got faster throughout the whole thing so that was good. but yeah, it was a super hard workout. I hope I won''t be sore tomorrow.
