Adam's Running

First day back from Canyonlands. Didn't run the whole trip because We did over 100 miles of biking. Ran up up to Legacy Park and back.

Did a backwards mountain run today.

We did 10x100m hill repeats today. Pretty easy. 

Did strides and tag.

We had a tri meet today but because we have an invite tomorrow we were supposed to take it easy. We decided to just take the two mile easy. We were listening to music in the tent when Anthony came over and said they were about to start the two mile. We ran over and got there right before they were about to shoot the gun. They let us change quick then we went. We started off talking to the kid in front who was actually trying so we let him go. the rest of the race was spent slowing down and talking to the girls or randomly breaking out into song. Then the kid from PG was about to lap us on his last lap so we paced him through to a PR. On our last straightaway John, Little Warner, and I did somersaults and crossed the line at the same time. We talked to the kid from PG, his name his Tanner. 

The 3200 was the first event so we started warming pretty soon after we got there. Me and Mike had the top times in our heat so we were pretty pumped.

The gun went off and I went out into second place behind a kid from Alta. It was him me and Mike in that order for the whole first mile. He paced us through at 5:15, which was perfect. Then Mike took the lead and I followed him for two more laps where we slowed down quite a bit. with 800m left I jumped ahead of Mike so I could try to get ahead of him before he could beat me with his kick. I held him off until the very last lap where he passed me on the final straight and beat me by .7 seconds. In our heat it went him, me, then Cole Gray.

Cooled down a little then went and took a nap. 

We had no time to warm up because we got distracted watching all the best scenes from Hot Rod.

Me and John had the two worst seeds so we had the worst position. The gun went off and everybody went out really fast. I came through 400m in 69 seconds. The second lap I didn't pass anyone but I came through at 2:23. I don't know what happened on the third lap but I came through at 3:40. I got passed by Tanner from PG. On the last lap I passed Little Warner! But then he passed me again on the last straight. I did pass a kid from Jordan though.

My final time was 4:54. Nobody had a good race. Me, Little Warner,and Tanner were talking after and we don't know what happened the last 800m. Oh well.  

I ran down to do the Hidden Oaks loop, the headed back up the golf course and around the clubhouse.

ran around for 5 miles the 3 miles at night.

had a dual meet today, but it was so cold I ran like a 2:30 800. don't even want to talk about it

ran around and did tag  then ran home

did strides and tag.

Got to the race at 2:30 and went inside and talked to Jerem and Cole Gray for a while before I headed out. I warmed up with all the other milers and did some strides. 

Gun went off and I faded into the middle of the pack pretty quick. I just kind of followed behind Little Warner for the whole first lap. we came through at 70 seconds for 400. Pretty good. The next lap we came through at 2:23, which is what I've come through 800 in at every race so far this year. The third lap Tanner moved up next to me and I ran with him through 1200 where our split was 3:37. He passed me and I just tried to hang on until the end but he ended beating me by less than a second.

Afterward I cooled down with Walton, who showed up to watch and Mahonri. 

Got up at 8:00 and ate 10 frosted mini wheats, got dressed, and got a ride over to Lone Peak because it was raining. I got there and headed into the little shed thing to protect myself from the rain. The AF guys were in there sleeping. I warmed up with Mike and Tommy. Then headed over to the start. I changed into my spikes and did some strides on the pole vault runway so my spikes wouldn't get soaked. Dustin was there today, which was cool.

It was lightly sprinkling when we lined up. i was the fifth seed in my heat and Mike was fourth. The gun went off and the front pack immediately separated from everyone else. It was a kid from Mt. View, a kid from AF, then Mike, a kid from Orem, and me. Mt. View and Af had about 10 meters on us but as we came around the back stretch Dustin said we were on pace to run a 66 so we needed to slow down. we did and reeled the two kids in at about 600. we came through 400 at 72. It was the five of us way ahead at that point and we came though 800 at 2:34. It stayed the same until at the mile we came through at 5:18 and the Orem kid dropped off. With 800 to go we were all trying to pass the Mountain View  kid but he wouldn't let us pass. On the final lap I got ahead of AF, then on the home stretch kicked past Mt. View but AF got me back by half a step. Mike won two seconds ahead of me.

3rd place and a 13 second PR!!!! Afterward cooled down. 

I got to practice today and did a couple of miles before with Cole, Mike, and Mahonri. Our workout was 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400. It wouldn't have been to bad but on the home stretch it was so windy we could barely move. So we ended up running 80's for every lap until the last one where I ran like a 68. Afterwards me and Cole Gray ran the Hidden Oaks loop.

Ran 3 at night. 

Tag and fish out of water

Got to AF and did two laps on the Grass Relays course. Warmed up fpr pur race and lined up. Gun went off and I went out pretty fast even though I wasn't planning on pushing it for a PR or anything. We came through at 70. The next lap I passed Jon who gave up because he had hurdles and pole vault later. 8000 split was 2:27. couldn't quite here the 1200 split but finished a couple of seconds behind Tommy who finished in 4:51. Afterward cooled down and talked to Maddie from AF and Cole Gray for a while.

Apparently Revelli thinks we slack off too much so he rides his bike behind us while we run now. We ran down to the stop sign at Art Dye and back. Later we met at Jon's house to pack up for ragnar. Ran home. Too pumped for Ragnar.

We had a workout today. 8x400. Revelli wasn't there today so we split into two teams and did them relay style. Our team won and we got in some good work.
