Step by step, mile by mile

Fun run today. Extremely nostalgic. My original warm up was around the softball fields into the track, but the gate was locked. So then I ran around the baseball fields, softball fields, soccer fields, down to Ashley, the courts, everywhere in the vicinity. I was having really vivid flashbacks of high school throughout the years, those of lost friends, hardships, good memories... but mainly I remembered morning practice. There's just something about waking up at 5:30 every morning to go on a run with the team that just fills me with an indescribable feeling. All of the seniors on the blog are talking about how weird it feels and how sad they are about graduating, I haven't felt anything like that which worries me. It'll probs hit in one huge wave and I'll have a mental breakdown. Lol. Anyway probs did at least a three mile warmup, then did a 400 repeat on the grass field we did for XC. Ran a 60, which is a PR there for me, and I had the CR anyway. Then did 2x(300,200,100). First time I ran normally, then drank a bottle before the repeats on the next set. Ran 46, 28, 13, and 46, 27, 12. Cooldown for 8. I ran to the tennis fields, through the auto shops and fields, past the UTC, everywhere. Last run at Uintah as a high schooler.

I'm currently ranked 4th in the mileage board this year out of HS boys, behind Connor, Cason, and Hell Raiser. Once my break ends I'm going for #1

5 with the Apache himself! Good run with my boy Kenny. Had a good talk with him. Did strides after. I played some hardcore ultimate frisbee today so I'm calling it 5 for the day. Ready to race.

Woke up pretty early to drive to LP to run the RB mile at LP today. We got on milesplit's snapchat so that was cool. I didn't warmup because of the drive which was an awful mistake bc my legs felt really tired during the race. Anyway. Race starts, and I'm first to start running. Justin starts right behind me, and Galen and Josh, I think. The wind on the backstretch was killer, and Justin caught me at the 200m mark. Next RB I finish before Justin and I'm off again. Justin catches me at the same place, and Craik's right behind me. Justin and Craik start before me on the next lap, and I stick with Craik. Last soda I feel awful, but I start right with Craik, Justin about 75m ahead. Craik takes off and I start to die. Then I saw Galen catching me and remembered top 3 get medals so I kicked into third. Fun time. I didn't throw up and I felt awful for it. Played a lot of basketball after with LP, Lehi, PG, and Joe. S/O to everyone there, noteably LP for inviting me! And Connor for running a 60 and dropping out lol 

Ball so hard.

I balled a ton today. Trevor and I biked at a crazy high resistance for thirty minutes and lifted after. I was asked to give a graduating speech thing on TV today, that'll be dropping soon. 

I plan on racing three races at the moment this summer. I'm signed up for Ragnar, and will see if I can get my internship off for Freedom and Deseret 10k. The three races are spaced 3 weeks apart, so ample recovery/training time. Man I can't wait to be back to training and racing(it's been two days lol) I'm gonna train hard, but smart. Do some good tempo's.

Well I graduated high school. I'm extremely thankful for everyone that's gotten me here. I was out until 6 AM the following night, and woke up at 3PM on saturday.
