Step by step, mile by mile

Went to lagoon in the morning and walked like a 5k throughout the day

The car ride back hurt my legs, so I did a distance shakeout. About 10 easy miles at 7:04 pace. Around a 300 ft elevation gain. Strides after. Calves hurt from the three hours in the car. Overall not too bad.

Woke up, did some core, and left for a 2 mile shakeout at 6:48 pace with strides. After that took a quick ice bath and headed to school. Typing this in AP History(rebel)

Mile warmup and 7.5 run with varsity after. Had some major bathroom cramps and had to take a few restroom breaks in between. Still passed Kedric, and averaged a 7:53 pace which isn't awful considering all the breaks I had to take. Core later tonight 

5 miles with strides. Lone wolfed it at 7:11 pace in the evening.

Mile warmup, 3xmile repeats and 4x800s(more like 650-ish) first mile straight murdered in 5:02, then 5:16, then 5:18. I think I could have broken 5 if Mason and I had ran together, instead I lead a solemn lead. Didn't feel too hard. Aaron ran some high 'teens, mason went 5:27, 5:16, and 5:21. 800's mason and I blew ahead of everyone. First one mason went ham with 1:46, me 1:49, next Mason 1:52, me 1:55, repeated, then I ran barefoot for the last one. Mason started a couple seconds ahead so we'd both go hard. I caught up to him, ran even with him for a 100, then passed. Kept that up for maybe a second, before he crushed the finish. I died. 1:46, 1:48. Not sure if anyone else broke 2:00¿ Christian went pretty ham#newbalancenationals4x800prospect Cool down and strides added to 7. Core after

Warmup, then a bit of speed. 6x400s on the garbage sidewalk/highway/rocks and grass. First one I went out ham. It felt like my legs were dead weights before we even began. Just kind of felt like I was falling forward. By 100m in I couldn't even hear footsteps behind me #Leadgameenormous almost ate it on the bend at 250m though, and Mason got closer. I came in at 60, Mason 61, and the next time was like a 65. Next one Mason 61, Me 63. Wasn't feelin super hot. besides the heat, of course. Mason and I repeated our times for the third repeat, and Austin swears he beat me. Not true. Next one I gave up on. Ran a 68, Mason, Austin, Aaron, Christian, and Robert all beat me. S/O to them. I went to the restroom quickly before the next one, and started about 3-5 seconds behind everyone else. Managed to catch everyone except the people who beat me before, and Stockton, Last repeat Mason and I fight for the first 100m for it, and I get it. I don't slow down this time. I can hear Mason on my back so I keep it quick. Finished with a low 61 for the final repeat, with what I understand to be the two fastest times of the day. 15 minute jog w/ Aaron, Jacia, Kyrie, and Austin afterwards. Left premature and ran alone because they started walking to get water. Afterwards coaches had a long talk with Mason and I. They want one of to start the American Fork relay. I told coach I wanted to do 10:20's, so he said I'd probs start. Strides after. It hailed during them. 

3 easier miles from the hotel to UVU and back. My hamstrings were hurting mad from repeats. Did over an hour of stretches that night to no avail

Once we arrived to american fork Mason and I ran the two mile course for a shakeout, then a few hours of rest. I was pretty tired and it was Supa hot. Did about a 1.5 mile warmup, ran with dez hills for a couple minutes and then headed back. talked to Garek, Kennedy Powell, and American Fork for a minute or two, then did my stretches and headed to the starting line. The girls took forever, so I sweated on the starting line for like an hour. Flash forward to starting the relay. I went out alright, but 200m in the course bottlenecked, and I got pushed back to the back. For the next 800 a few people passed me, then I just kind of coasted into a weak pace. I don't know, I just couldn't. Lame. The second mile I caught an orange guy and almost another, but Mason got him after I handed off. I don't actually know my time but for now I'll call it 11:00. Mason and I ran like a mile after cheering for the other relay members. Shoutout to Talon Hull for hauling, and Garek for being 2 seconds away from the record with like a 9:45! And for Mason for making a blog #cherokeenation

2 miles when I got back home, and 6 more that night. Was supposed to run with Jacia but she bailed last minute, so I went a bit quicker. First few miles were in the 6:30's. strides after
