Step by step, mile by mile

Yellow Hill repeats. 2 sessions in 7 days! Pretty sure coach wants Mason and I dead at the paces we were going. Every repeat either I came in first or Mason did, but Mason won more. In retrospect I think I should have gone harder.

5 miles. Did core and such after. Hit a 5 minute wall sit.

Warm-up, then some speed. And I'm talking more hardcore than a heroin addict. first off was a 800 with a strong kick. coming in to the second 400, I was pretty much in last. I hit the 400 at around an 85. Came in at the 800 with a wicked finish where I passed everyone but Aaron and Mason. 2:27. Next was a 400, kicking the last 300. Went out well, but could have finished stronger, Aaron got me in the end. 60-61. Next one, kick at the 250. Mason caught me in the end this time. 62. Next one kick at the 200m. I won this one by a few seconds and had a sick Louie Zamperini finish. 65. Next was a 200m, kicking the last 150. Everyone went ham. Mason and Clayton beat me by a lean. High 28. next kick at 100, Mason caught me in the end. High 29. Next kick at 75 left. This time I kicked really well, beating Mason barely. Low 29. Final one, kick the last 50. Mason and I were running comfortable the first 150. I had a bit of a lead because I got excited because I ran in lane 5 and he ran in lane 3. Kick was crazy. Mason was almost a full second behind me. Low 28. Long cooldown after

warm-up, then a mile of speed changes with Mason. Afterwards senior speeches were given. There's only four seniors who've been here since the beginning. Shoutout to Aaron, Christian, and Mason. I heard my speech was really good, so that was nice. I got the biggest applause when I announced I was running for college. Sick team dinner after. Had a lot of fun with Jacia, Kyrie, Austin, Christian, and Aaron. We made some sick hoop shots and Christian and Jacia's screams had me dying. I'm really going to miss them.

Wasn't too great of a race for me. Got out well, hit the mile mark at 5:22, right on Aaron's tail. I was supposed to stay on him until the third mile, but he made a move and I told myself I'd get him after a while and I didn't. Christian passed me soon after, and Kedric with about half a mile to go. Kedric almost beat Christian, so that was cool for him. I finished and everyone was saying how badly it hurt and how they could barely move. I felt fine, like I hadn't even raced and it made me mad. Barely got a PR, and had a pretty good finish. Mason got 3rd, Aaron got 7th, Christian 10th, Kedric 11th, and me 18th. If I had shaved off twenty seconds I would have taken 9th, which once again ticked me off. but oh well, because UTES WON REGION!! We worked hard for this, and I'm glad we were able to accomplish it. I'm glad that even with a sub par race we could win. And now we're ranked 4th in the state! Next step, stop racing stupid, and break 16 so we can beat Olympus. Shoutout to Lehi for doing well at their region, along with Lone Peak's boys for beating AF! siiick

4 miles. First three at a high 7, then dropped the last one in about a 6:20 as to work on my kick. It didn't feel amazing, but mainly because I reaallly had to go to the restroom. Strides after.

About 7 miles that evening with Austin and Aaron. Easier pace, difficult course. Lot of hills.
