I ran a mild workout today. 2 miles in 11:20 with a fast last 400. JoJo, William, and I chased MoMo, who had a head-start. We ran 5:55 for the first mile. William dropped back after that because we started running 86s. I closed in 72 and JoJo ran 74. We both beat MoMo. William ended up with 12:01. Dad paced MoMo, he ran 12:46. 2 more miles at night in around 15 minutes.

5+2 today. 5 miles in the morning. I ran 2 with MoMo, JoJo, Stevie, and William in 14:46. Then 3 more with JoJo. Bella was in the stroller. Dad ran the last half with us. I ran it in 24:01. The total time for 5 was 38:47. 2 more in the night.

Long run today with 3 mile tempo run. Ran with JoJo, Chad and Dad the whole time, William ran the first 2. Benjamin was playing rabbit. We had a 2:45 headstart. He caught us with about 400 to go. I stayed with him for around 250 meters. My last quarter was 69, total time of 17:34. Chad passed me a the end. JoJo and Dad were behind. We also had General Conference today. There were some good talks.

I ran a cross country race today. The course was a little short. JoJo, Stevie, MoMo, and William ran as well. My time was 9:27. About a 10:22 3K. JoJo was first overall, I was second. MoMo beat Stevie by 10 seconds in 10:54. He is only 7. So pretty fast. I feel like I can't push myself all out on the grass. Good race today. 

5 miles in the morning in the canyon with JoJo, Dad, and William. I felt pretty good. We ran somewhere around 38 minutes. 2 more at night in 15:04.

2 mile workout today at 88 per 400 with a fast last quarter. I ran 11:27, JoJo ran 11:24, and William and Dad ran 11:42. My last quarter was 72, and JoJo's was 69. I didn't feel very good during the workout but suprisingly I felt better after the workout. I think it was just a matter of warming up or something.  

5 + 2 today. 2 miles in 15:40 with MoMo, JoJo, Stevie, William, and Dad. Then 3 more with the stroller in 24:19. Total time of 39:59. 2 more miles in the evening.

Easy run today. 5 in the morning with JoJo in 38:14. I felt good. Then 2 more in the evening with Dad, JoJo, and Julia in 16:32. 

8 miles today with a 3 mile tempo run. First we ran 3 miles up the canyon. It was cold, so my muscles got kinda stiff. I warmed up during the tempo run though. JoJo and I ran the first 3 miles of Dad and Chad's 6 mile tempo run. Benjamin got a 5 minute handicap. We had 17:51 at 3 miles. Benjamin ended up with 29:44. Chad was around 35:20, and I think Dad was with him. I am doing  a 3K on Monday.  

Rest day, went to church.

I ran a 3K XC race today. 4 in the morning in around 31 minutes. JoJo ran 10:45, I ran 10:47. When I was going on a turn my foot got a little twisted and started hurting, but I was fine. William, Stevie, and MoMo also ran. William got 3rd in his age division, I'm not sure what time though. MoMo had a good race. He won his heat(2010-2013). And ran 12:47. Stevie had a back problem and had a bad race. I felt pretty good, but I'm kinda tired. I think it was a good race.

5 + 2 miles today.  2 with MoMo, 2 by myself, then 1 more with MiMi in the morning. MoMo ran 15:26. Then I ran 14:57 for the next 2 miles. Then I ran 9:17 with MiMi. Total time of 39:40. Two more in the evening in 15:40.  I felt good. No soreness from the race last night. 

Same as yesterday. 2 with MoMo, 2 by myself, and 1 more with MiMi in the morning. 16:04 with MoMo, 15:46 by myself, and 9:37 with MiMi and the stroller. 2 more in the evening.

I had a stomach bug today. Only 1 mile in 8:14. I think I'll be better by tomorrow though. The nice thing about stomach bugs for me is that they go away very quickly. Got a short nap.

I felt way better today. I got great sleep last night. 4 miles, tapering for the 5K tomorrow. I ran a mile with MoMo, Dad, Stevie, and William. Then 3 more with Dad. Total time of 31:56.

5K race today down the Provo canyon with my family, Chad, Albert, and Jeff. It was a good race, 17:11. I felt really good. In the first mile I stayed with JoJo, Dad, and Jeff in 5:36. I made a surge and gapped them in the next quarter. The second mile was 5:34 and I was still ahead of the others. In the third mile I really pushed myself and ran 5:25 with a last 400 in 76. JoJo tried to surge and catch up, but didn't have it. Benjamin won in 15:17, Albert had 15:46, Chad ran 16:55. I could see him for most of the race but I definitely couldn't have caught him. Dad ran  17:36 and Jeff was close behind. JoJo jogged the last half mile and ended up with 18:22. Then we ran back up and paced the second, slower heat. I paced Julia with the stroller, she ran 23:01. William ran 18:50 to win the race. Stevie had a great 50 second PR in 20:08, MoMo also had a PR. He ran 20:27 I think. Not sure what time Mom or Bonnie had.

Rest day, had home and virtual church.

Ran 7 miles today. 5 + 2 as usual. It is still kinda smokey. There is a fire not too far away, so not great air quality right now. 2 with MoMo, Stevie, William, Dad, and JoJo in 15:53. Then 3 more with JoJo and William in the morning. Total time of 40:00 for those 5. Then 1 mile with MiMi in 9:16 and 1 by myself in 7:20 at night

5 miles in the morning and 2 more at night. 2 with MoMo, JoJo, Stevie, William, and Dad in 15:20. Then 3 more miles with JoJo in 23:37. 2 in the evening with stroller to the track and back. 

About the same run as yesterday. 5 in the morning and 2 at night. 2 with MoMo, JoJo, Stevie, William, and Dad in 15:23, then 3 more with JoJo in 23:27. Total time of 39:00. 2 more at night  at about 7:30 pace.

5 + 2 miles today. In the morning most of the family came to the track(with the little kids in the stroller) William is trying to break his mile record before he turns 12. It's kinda a family tradition. First we ran a 400 with Mom in 1:43. Then William ran a 400 in 84, his target was 800 meters with the first lap in 80 and the second in around 84 or 85. Then we ran a 400 with MoMo, he ran 78.9. A little of his record, but a good time. After that, we ran again with William. This time he made it to 800 in 2:47(79,87 I think). Then we ran home and I ran 1.5 to finish my distance.  Inn the night JoJo and I ran to the track and back while Julia ran a fast mile with Dad

Similar run to yesterday. We ran to the track to help William run a mile PR. Target was to run 78 for the first lap then run another 20, then 21s to 800, and 22s to the finish. JoJo and I were pacing him in the front with Dad on the side. After the first lap JoJo I were on pace, but William didn't have it. We tried again, but he could only make it to the 800. I ran home and added a mile at home with Stevie in 7:55. 2 more in the evening in 14:57.

8 Miles today with a 5K tempo run. It was just kind of a leg shakeout 5K. First time running in the canyon since the fire started. it is mostly out and not near the canyon. There was still a couple of tape barricades left, they slowed us down by about 2 seconds, but getting out of rhythm slowed us down by closer to 5 seconds. I started with JoJo, Dad, and Chad, but JoJo fell back at around halfway. Benjamin was 2:30 behind us. My legs hurt, still tired from the 5K and other things from this week. I got 17:54, Dad had 17:57, Chad went with Benjamin when he caught us. I hope my legs feel good next week for the Haunted Half 5K.

5 easy miles away today. Reduced mileage today because it's cold. 2 with MoMo, JoJo Stevie, William, and Dad. Then 3 more with JoJo.

Just 5 miles again today. Ran a fast mile with MoMo and Stevie with Dad, william, and JoJo and me as pacers for them. JoJo, William and I took off after 1000 trying to break 6:00. I ended up with 5:57, William had 5:58, JoJo was somewhere ahead. Stevie beat MoMo with 6:13, MoMo had 6:20. I felt pretty good.

7 miles today all at once. 3 with MoMo, JoJo, Stevie, William, and Dad in 24:20, then 4 more mostly by myself in 30:26, total time of 54:46. 

7 today, all at once again. 2 with MoMo, JoJo, William, and Dad in 15:57. Then 5 more with Dad and Benjamin in a little under 40 minutes. I felt pretty good. 

4 easy miles today. Tapering for the race tommorow. 2 with MoMo, William, and Dad, then 2 more with dad. Total time of 32:37.

Provo Haunted Half 5K today. It was a good race. It was a little cold at the start, but I was mostly okay. I decided to go with the lead pack of about 4 guys even though they loooked faster than me. The first mile was 5:33, I felt good and was still with the pack. They sped up after about 2000 meters, and I fell back a little. At the second mile I had 11:06, I was still feeling good but starting to get tired. My next mile was 5:50, which was uphill. I was pretty tired, but I had a pretty good kick to the finish and ended up with 17:29. First place was 17:15, Second had 17:17, and Third got 17:21. I don't know how I managed to get 4th place because I was pretty sure there were 4 guys ahead of me. There is a long tube thing at the end, so maybe I passed someone there. Overall I think it was a good race, a 26 second road 5K PR.
