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

am: 10.5. second longest run of the summer. didn't get a lot of sleep again so my stomach hurt but i was mostly just tired. i couln't wait for the run to get over. maybe because i had to stop after a mile to use the restroom and then it took me 2 miles to catch up.

we talked about this years competition and such and how our first race is in less than 4 weeks, all that talk pumped me up and got me exited. Cross country is a great sport, it gives you feelings very few other things can...if you know what i mean :)

pm: 3. nice cool day. did lifting after. i was very tired after. i need much more sleep...and i need to remember to bring a cooler to lifting so i can start taking ice baths.

am: 4.5. ran around the dirt trail. not the greatest run but still good. we all ran at around 6: 30 pace for the 2 laps. it makes me happy that all these guys are staying up with us cause since they can run this pace for two miles in pratice they can most likely run it in races and then some so most these guys can already run close to a sub 19 3miler! way to be guys. your working hard and are all going to help this team a lot.

pm: 3 with my sister megan at about nine. took about 35 min. felt really sore from lifing yesterday still... but i'll be huge soon :)

am: 6.5 today we did our first workout of hills. 3x1min + 4x30sec... for some reason i was really nervous for this workout, prolly cause it was our first one. but i felt pretty good. i really tried to push myself each time to get to the same spot up the hill. which i did on the 1 minuters but on the 3rd 30 second i was back a good 5 meters from where i should be. but i think overall i did well on today. finished off the milage by running around town the opposite way. (for future knowlege i made it to the first palm tree after going over the hill on the 1 min, then i made it to just before the second big rock on the 30 seconds

pm: 3. hot and dry. wasn't the best run but glad i got it done. i really have to get myself to do these doubles by myself cause i'm not very good at getting them in. i had to finally message casey and tell him to go running with me to really get myself out and running. but you know.. whatever works.

am: 4.5 grass run today. pretty easy pace. nice to have trevor with us, he always makes it fun.

pm: 3 little humid but not bad. lifted after. i feel my body getting into shape :)

am: 6.5 we did hills over on the mountain meat grinder. 2x30's and 4x1min. we would run up the mountain then jog while still going up, then do the next one. 30seconder's were both 5:49 pace then the 1 minuters were 6:40, 6:35, 6:33, 6:28. solid pace, felt the burn so i think i did good. came around the other side of the mountain and finished with a few laps around last years region course.

pm: no afternoon run today. so i did INTENCE streching and rolling then did a workout of inside, regular, and outside push ups in sets of ten with right (35), left (35), cruches (50), and regular (50) sit up in between until i couldn't do another one of anything. it was pretty fun and really hard but it felt good. now the only thing i need to get doing more is iceing iceing iceing.

ran at 7 with a couple guys on a trail kind of by snow canyon.. i was pretty tired today and it was tough to get through but it wasn't to bad. lots of cool trails. ran into a guy hiking that saw my pine view track shirt and asked how we did at state. its awesome that random people regonize us.

week was great. finished both of our workouts strong and got every single run in this week! that hasn't happened in a while. next week, make XC camp fun for everyone and enjoy the high altitude
