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

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. 

am- 4 miles/ 30 min E. Good morning and we are back to the usual route. I am happy for that cause I missed it. Even if my neighborhood is sketch.

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)
