am- nice easy 4 miles out to starbucks and back. Today just has good vibes people! I'm feelin' it

pm- today was a short day so we ran right after school. All the juniors are getting their ACT scores back so we ran out to Nick's house and then over to Brians house. Nick got a freakin' 31!! Dang that is so dope cause it is his first time taking it too. And we had a workout of 2x(2min hard, 30sec rec, 1min hard, 30sec rec, 30sec hard, 30sec rec) and we did that from Nicks to Brians, and from Brians to Sullivans Park. Solid workout and dope run. Today was just great. We went over to PizzaPieCafe after and feasted.  

WORD OF THE DAY: well today is a special day, it is my momma's birthday! So todays word is "mom". So you all go say I love you to your moms today.... or if you want to say "I love you" to my mom, go for it;)

am- a nice temperature this morning, got in 4 miles total

pm- 40 minutes easy which ended up being 5 miles. We ran out to Green Springs and through the neighborhoods. Story time today and it was super dope! Darth Vapor and Princess Lighter were a few characters highlighted in the run. Just had to be there really! 

WORD OF THE DAY: Wow well I heard quite a few words that qualified, but the guys told me they were not appropriate for the blog:/ So today's word is "commode". this is in Tuesday's with Morrie which is a sick book, you should all read it!

am- nice easy 4, Igot 8.5 hours of sleep:)

pm- Wow what a race. So I thought that we would have started out faster but I just got in front-ish. I should have gotten out in first and just had Andrew come with. But it was a good race. I stuck right with the dhills dudes, which you guys did pretty good today, and then fell off cause I lost focus I guess. I cant really remember why. But it was a great confidence booster race for me so yeah. And a PR so thats always good:)

WORD OF THE DAY: its gotta be "rend" cause it was in my scripture study today. BTW the Book of Mormon is a pretty good book, ya all should read it

am- I slept in through morning practice... shame on me!

pm- Oh baby! wow what a great race for me. So I was super butthurt that I was in the freakin' slow heat so I said to my self "Self, you are gonna win this cause its stupid that you are in this heat!" And thats what I did. So the first lap I started out quick, went out right behind the Dixie kiddo who stole my idea of getting shoes from Ross......wow. I came across with a 64ish and then Coach said to trade the leads so Mitch took the second one. Right when I got the chance, I went right back in the lead which was right before the 3rd lap started. Then I was hurtin' bad, my dinner was trying to come back up:/ But I pushed through cause I didn't want to give up! I mean I was just killin' it! Last lap Coach was yelling to have quick feet and thats what I did. Last 200m I beasted and feasted and came across at 4:48. But the offical time is 4:50. oh well, its still a PR so thats kewl. 

WORD OF THE DAY: well today's word has gotta be "regime" cause I just realized that I don't really know what that means. I always just think Hitler. But what was super sick was the analogy that Sage told me about a certain female;) Wow that was deep stuff bro.

am- I got in a run right before the first conference session. I didn't get in a 30 minute easy run yesterday afternoon so I thought I would just get it in today! Nice chill run, I had a stare down with a gnarly lookin' dog, so that was cool.

pm- I ran by myself in between Conference sessions. I went down to the river trail and did my 20 min progression tempo there. I started at like 5:55 pace and then went down to 5:30 for the majority of the tempo. It was really hard on my own, I just had to imagine someone right in front of me and pretended to draft off of them. On my way back to my house, I ran with this dude from Colorado who goes to school at UVU? He said in Orem so I'm guessing that's the school. He ran in high school too so that's cool! Then I split off the trail to go home. And then I ran by Macey on my way back through the neighborhoods! Good job to her for getting the run in today. Anywho, the total minutes was 60 and the distance was 8.7 miles total.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "dang!" cause I just saw that Mckay Johns from AF ran a 4:14 at the Alpha Invite! That is freakin' amazing.
