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

am- 10 miles/ 87 min E with strong finish and striders afterward. Today was a good run out to the Mustang Pass and around town. I felt really tired at first but then I felt good. Great finish since our pace was super slow. I didnt have a watch to see but Coach said it was slow. Then striders after to round up a great day.

Did some rollin and 100ups and some mental stuff from Coach Rob's binder pages.

WORD OF THE DAY: today's word is "homework" because sadly I still have it since I'm taking Health online so I have room in my schedule to take a business class. Homework is the stuff that students get that is done at about 24 hours or less of the time it is supposed to be turned in.... or two weeks after:) Ex: I don't paticularly like homework.

RHR- 48

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E grass. Today was a nice recovery day on the grass. I felt really good and yeah. Really chill day. Then kids club today was the first race! I ran with Caleb Atkinson and he is gonna be a good runner in high school, thats for sure. He has got talent. He was second and Scottie won and set a new record, beating the last one by 12 seconds!

RHR- 48

am- 9.75 miles/ 60 min pace pick-up thing with striders. Wow I felt really crappy today. I didnt get like any sleep last night so I was exhausted. I stayed with the group but I was just sluggish. Striders after kinda felt good though. I am goin to nap now. 

RHR- 50

am- 6.75 miles/ 45 min E. Little sleep again, but I felt better than yesterday. We ran out to Middleton with a big group of guys. It was cool. Even though a few guys were gone, our younger dudes came with and stuck in there. Solid day.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "mouse" because I found a dead mouse in my dogs water bowl. Nasty. I got it taken care off, and then I set a few traps. Then I found the mouse hole (by the way, this is like the 6th time it has happened! My poor dog) and I had a briliant idea: pour gasoline down the hole and light it on fire! And thats what I did. So hopefully no mice come out anymore:) A mouse is a small rodent that is nasty and carries deceases and stuff. Ex: I killed a mouse once... and I have killed many after that.

RHR- 51

am- 6.9 miles/ 65 min E. Chuckwala!! I love this trail, it is so adventurous. We went out to the cave and back. Super fun run but my legs are a little sore though.

WORD OF THE DAY: the word of the day is "hot" cause it is freakin' 112 degrees today!! I was just standing outside with my dog and I was sweating bad. Hot means to have excess heat in temperature and yeah. Ex: It gets hot in my house when my mom turns the thermostat to 77!

am- 5.8 miles/ 45 min with 4x3:00 min faster pace intervals with equal recovery. Met up with Mitch, Andrew, Skylar and Jason at Panorama and ran down on the river trail. It was a solid run. The fartlek type intervals were quick but that is just fine cause it felt good to get some quick stuff in the week of running! Had a scary moment when after the run stretching, I didn't notice that I sat right in a spot of grass infested with ants. Thankfully I didn't even get bit, cause that would have been no fun.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "mental" because I am starting to realize how important this is with running. Like being mentally ready is better than physically once your at a certain point. Mental is adjective that describes or is about the mind. Ex: Having good mental health is key in many aspects of life.
