am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and Im not sore:)

pm- 4.1 miles/ 25 min E with 4x200's accells. Nice chill run out into Green Springs. Pre-race and I am super pumped for tomorrow.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and today the temps dropped ten degrees so that was freakin' awesome!

pm- 6.8 miles/ Cedar Invite, 15 min warm/cool. Good race today. So we start and I just go out quick but not crazy like some did. I slid my way into 11th on the track. Then the second lap I put in surge's, especially at the start line to the top of that staightaway. I got into 7th coming into the last lap. I could see ahead of me Eric, Aidan, and Luke and the Springville kid. I cant remember his name. Anywho, Eric was falling off so I just went and snagged him and then tried to go after Aidan and Luke. They ended up 13ish seconds ahead of me, but I coulda had um if I had 400m more. Good race and it was cool to win as a team even when we didn't have Nick. So pumped for Region and State!

am- 7.77 miles/ 60 min E. So Mitch, Preston, Andrew, Jason, Carson, Logan, Corbin and I met up at 5:25 to go running because then Preston was doing the marathon aid station and everybody but me was helping and they were meeting at 6:30. So we ran up and up and up the bike trail going up Snow Canyon State Park. It was a lot of hill but that is okay I guess. The stars were sooo pretty and I was just in awe. Thinking about life and God's creations and the scary biker dude who was wearing a black hoodie going passed us and also about my love life and yeah. It was a good time to just think. I liked it. And yeah that was the run. 

Goals for next week: 8 hours of sleep every night, get caught up in homework before Thursday, do my RHR, pray and read my scriptures, and remember to stretch. And do my APUSH reading.

I gotta stomach ache and it is horrid.

pm- 8.66 miles/ 60 min E w/ striders. I'm back and running so that is good! It still kinda hurt to run, especially at 45 minutes, but it really was just nice to be running again. We ran the Parkway loop and the talk was agriculture, if ya know what I mean;) Good day and I'm excited for the workout tomorrow. Goal is to force myself to push on the floats rather than dying like last time.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and this is the last 30 minute morning run in a while!! 

pm- 7.2 miles/ 50 min total; 15 min tempo + 10x100m/100m (F/float) (15 warm and cool to time). Oh such a great workout today!! So we did the workout at the Region South course and Dhills just happened to be there too so that was that. The tempo was a little harder than last time but I did such a better job on the floats and worked with Paul on the 100/100s. It went really well though.

am- 2.7 miles/ 20 min E. Good morning and I forgot to do my RHR again....oops

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min with negative split. Nice chill run, easy even with the negative split.

am- 2.7 miles/ 20 min E. Good morning and Preston is hatin' for no reason;)

pm- 5.7 miles/ 46 min, Sunrise Hills 20s/10s (hard/recovery). What a workout!! So we did the sunrise hills and it was hard!! So the first couple sets were tough but I just had in mind that we would only do 4. And then we finished the 4th and coach was like "alright one more" and I was like "what the ____?"(i literally said nothing) but it was a great set and I lead everybody on that one since Nick had to sit out for his lightheaded-ness. Great run and great day!

am- 6.5 miles/ 45 min E with a fartlek. So all the varsity dudes met up at Coach's house and carpooled up to Cedar and ran around and then watched the SUU Color Country Invite. Tyson and Mike ran and it was hilarious cause they had never ran that far since before their mission! Fun trip and cool race. We are going up for the Big Sky Conference champs on the 31st. That will be legit!

Goals for next week: Do my RHR, finish with a 4.0 GPA in 1st quarter, top 5 at region, win region as a team, and get into a habit of using a weekly calendar so I can be organized.

am- 2.7 miles/ 20 min E. Good morning and Corbin(Quorbin? hehe) is roastin' like a beast!!

pm- 4.15 miles/ 25 min E with 4x200's prerace. Nice chill day getting ready for Region and feeling pretty crappy cause I ate an hour before with Josie, Alli, Anna, Mitch, Braden, and Bayless. The 200s felt nice and yeah.

I did some visualization and it was beast. I just got good vibes!!

am- 2.7 miles/ 20 min E. Good morning and I am cramming to finish all my AP psych since the end of the quarter is tomorrow:)

pm- 7 miles/ Region Championships, warm/cool. WOW. What a race for me personally and as a team. We were going into this thinkin' that we could make a huge move on D-hills, and we did. Coulda been closer but that is another story. So the race starts and I just go right in with the Dhills pack and Nick and Mitch. We run a lap and a half and I was starting to fall off. But they were still close-ish. I got passed the second to last baseball field and this Cedar girl is there and yells "hey get those dhills guys!" And I look up and Sage, Spencer and Bryson were just 15-20 meters ahead and slowing down. So I surge by them all and started going for Nick. And coming back and passed the bathrooms I passed Nick and that is when my mind started blowing up! But I tried hard to stay focused and go after Jaiden cause he was only 30 meters ahead and slowing down. So I get a lil' closer and then Nick gets back with me and then he goes sprinting after Jaiden. I tried to go to but they are both sub 2:00 minute 800 dudes so that didn't work super well;) Great race though finishing 4th and we were only 16 points behind Dhills so that was good.

WORD OF THE DAY: "hurricane" because it is a gnarly storm and it is also the high school in our region that was the last team to qualify for state!! Dang my boy Kody Watts is goin' to state. What a guy. A hurricane is a tropical storm of high winds and occurs in the ocean and on coastal lands. Ex: My brother was serving a mission in DC when a hurricane almost came and hit him there!

pm- 3.7 miles/ 30 min E. Nice chill run out through the neighborhoods of Washington. Looped down at the post office street and back through Sandbergs Resort. I hate the bushes out there cause i get so itchy!

pm- 5.7 miles/ 16x50m/50m (F/float) (15 warm and cool to time). Workout at the high school at 1:30 in prep for state. Felt good

pm- 5.15 miles/ 40 min E. Chill trail run at Middleton.

pm- 6.5 miles/ 45 min total; 15 min Steady State run and Wave Hills. I was upnorth since my sister went through the temple today. So for the workout I went to the Wasatch Rendevous and ran around. It was good. I felt real good and the cool weather was nice.

am- 2.6 miles/ 20 min E. Good morning and I'm getting caught up with my entries.

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Chill run somewhere. I cant remember

am- 2.5 miles/ 18 min E. Good morning and today is the big day. Gonna be so beast.

pm- 6 miles/ State Championships, warm/cool. What a race. So the start was not very good because I was making sure that I wasn't gonna go crazy like last year. So right before the road section I see Mitch go down and that was bad. So then at the top of the hill Nick and I worked up to the lead pack and chilled right in there all the way to after the pond. Then Nick took the lead and I lost focus. But I stayed in my place from there. Like I never in the whole race had anyone pass me so that was good. And at the end I almost got Josh but I started my sprint too late. Good day though and I am super happy for Nick. Inspiration right there guys. Nick is my hero.

pm- 6.5 miles/ 50 min E. Nice chill run with the team. State was fun but I'm glad to be back in St George, my beautiful home!

pm- 6 miles/ 45 min E. Today we ran down to the Sullivan Soccer Park and checked out the soccer fields that they finally put in after 4 years? Something like that. They are nice fields! but anywho we kept running through Hell's hole and up and back to the school from Telegraph. Nice run.

am- 4.28 miles/ 34 min E. I drove out to Green Springs and ran the Mustang Pass trail run on my own. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Great day. Im heading up to Salt Lake again for a cousins homecoming so that's fun. More and more traveling.

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and it is getting cold. real cold

pm- 11 miles/ 70 min with 1,2,1 min pickups w/ 4 min rec. between each and striders after. Today we ran out to the Virgin river trail and ran out and out for a while. I was super hurting the last couple miles since it has been like 4 or 5 weeks since we ran for that long. Wow. Striders were good though. 

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and I was loud and everyone else was not. 

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. I had to run a lil' earlier for a bit and then ran a couple miles with the team before I had to leave to my dentist appointment. My teeth are perfect!! The dentist said so:)

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and Steph Curry is a beast!! 24 points in the first quarter is huge!

pm- 8 miles/ 60 min total. 100m hard, 2x(2x1000m@ I pace w/ 3min rec, 400@ strong w/ 5 min rec first time) then 30 sec. rec. and finish w/ 100m all out. 15min warm/10 cool. Today's workout was super beast. So the goal times for the 1000s was 3:17-20 range but the 400s were supposed to just be hard, but not sprinting. So the after the first 100m we had a 30sec recovery and then right into the middle section of the workout. The times for the first two 1000s were good, 3:21 and 3:19. Then the 400 was :65. The second set the 1000s were 3:19 and 3:16. Then the 400 was solid, a :63 and it actually felt pretty good. Then the 100 finish was good and that was the workout. Felt good to get movin' again. We got a 3-mile time trial on Monday to help decide who is running at Nike at we are doing it at the Dirt Mile so that will be freakin' dope!

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and the rain made this morning run awesomeness!

pm- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Chill run out into Green Springs and back. Coach told us about some domo kidos that did some stupid stuff. Fun run and tomorrow is our Halloween run. 

WORD OF THE DAY: Ranking: to a position in a scale of achievement or status; a classification. This definition is in honor of my boy Connor Baller and his team for making the rankings that came out today. 13th is pretty beast!

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and Macey tried to give us a good scare as we came around a corner with a clown mask on! 

pm- 3 miles/ 24 min E. Halloween run was beast. Good day

am- 8.8 miles/ 65 min. 15warm/10cool. 10x400s @ 1:08-11 goal pace. Nice workout up in Cedar on the SUU/ Region North course. The goal pace was 1:08-11 and they were freakin awesome! I was a little nervous cause I am not the best at doing quicker, shorter stuff. But it went super duper awesome! I hit 1:10 and went from there down to 1:03 which is crazy since my 400m PR is 1:02. wow that is kinda embarrassing. Then after the workout we went up to the golf course and watched the Big Sky Conf Champs and it was legit! Hayden Hawks is my hero.
