So much depends... on the run you do today!

am: 3. good run. i was late so it took a mile to catch up :(

pm: 1.5 mile warm up and cool down with workout of 4x1mile repeats with 1 lap recovery (~3min) time i was shooting for this week was 5:14. i was a little nervous for this workout cause i thought this would be a bit harder to hit the times.

first one felt pretty easy, but i thought it was only cause it was the first one, 5:12. second one was just as easy and i was feeling very smooth, 5:12. third one i one to push the third lap a bit but still was feeling very manageable, 5:11. last one i knew i was feeling great so i just pushed it hard but still didn't want to go crazy so just kept it at an even, 5:11. cause you all know how i love to hit the same time :)

very good workout. much easier than i thought. although the weather was amazing, there was only a little breeze so i guess that helped a lot compared to last week's wind.  next week we have a mile time trial!

am: 3. plyo's afterwards. i really don't like these. they hurt my ankles and seem to do more harm then good for me...i'll do it a little more and see if it gets better, but i dont want to kill  my season with an injury again just because i did these.

pm: 5. ice house. i felt terrible today. made it through. half mile hill at about 20% incline in betweeen it.

am: 3. coach wasn't there this morning so we took it nice and slow :) felt very good to ease up and...jog!

pm: after a very very busy day, i went out with the team on a 10 miler including a 30 min tempo at 5:35-5:40 pace. i felt alright at first, then as it went by i just worked on making sure my form never dropped, which i feel i did pretty good on. pace and distance were the exact same: 5:37. good run. glad it's done and in the bag.

on a side note, today was national signing day. I committed to run for Southern Utah University. They have a very good coach, and solid team that all have high spirits. They just had a student graduate last year named Camren Levins who won the 5k and 10k at the college nationals and qualified for the olympic's getting 10th and 14th in both those events, then recieved the bowerman award for track.

after serving a two year mission in 4-7 months i will start my career in the fall season of 2015.

am: easy slow 3

pm: 2 mile warm and cool with old man hills workout of 1x800, 2x400's and 4x200's. times were 2:33, 1:08, 1:10, 33, 38, 33, 32. pretty good. abel ran this with us for the first time and he really made me go into race mode for some of these...dang kid :) that second 200 was ugly. but overall it was alright. coach threw me in another 200 to run with Rachel stone (out top runner) and i was thinking i'd go 38second pace but she was cruzzeing and ended with a 35!

weights after. didn't feel way sharp so took a bit of an easy

pm: easy 5 with with striders. felt alright. stomach hurt a little. probably from laughing so hard!

Went to another race today to help get my tempo times. shooting for a 5:15 again.

got there a little late so had to warm up by myself for 1.5 miles. tommy from snow canyon was there, and a couple DH kids.

someone started the race and we roughly got out. i stayed in the top 5 for the first mile and just tried to stay on pace. 60% of this race seemed to be uphill so i thought i'd end a little off pace. after a bit it was only me, byron, and tommy in a pack and i still was just a step behind them because everytime i tried to get up next to them they would pick it up a lot to get back ahead...so i just let them lead, cause i didn't mind. last half mile was all down hill and it ended on the track. this is where i made up for most of the time. last 600 meters or so i took off harder and ended pretty well.

ending pace was 5:17. close enough, and i still felt good at the end. rachel won on the girls side too, second week in a row we both took the gold :)
