All 7 miles at once in the morning. My sore throat is pretty much gone. First I ran 2 miles with Dad, William, Stevie, and MoMo in 15:34. Then I ran 5 more with JoJo and Dad. We were talking about math so we ran a bit slower than 40:00. JoJo still has a little of a sore throat.

I ran all 7 miles at once in the morning today. Mom drove the car up the canyon and ran down, so we ran up the canyon to pickup the car and then drove down. I ran with William, Dad, and JoJo. William ran 5 miles with us, then he ran to the car while we added 2 more miles. We were a little behind 8 so I picked the pace up a little in the last mile which we ran in around 7:00. Maybe a bit faster. Total time was 54:58.

I ran a fast 2000 on the track today. First I ran 3 easy miles with Dad and JoJo in the morning in 24:08. Then I ran the 2000 with JoJo and Benjamin. The first lap was 78. Good, a little fast though. Target pace was 6:40. In the second lap we ran 79. Then I started struggling. My heart was hurting, kind of a stabbing pain. It wasn't actually too bad, but it made me freak out. We ran 82 in the third lap. At about 1300, I really started to panic, and slowed down to about 90 seconds per lap. JoJo was a bit behind but he caught up. Benjamin and JoJo pulled away from me. I ran 91 for the 4th lap and then 88 for the last lap. I ended up with 6:58. JoJo and Benjamin ran 6:46 I think. Part of the problem is probably my nervous system. I think the heart pain will go away soon.

8 miles total with a 4 mile tempo run. William did the first 3 miles. Dad, JoJo, Chad, and I ran the full 4, Benjamin had a 3 minute handicap. Our first mile was 6:04, I felt pretty good. We sped up a bit and ran 5:56 for the next mile and had 12:00 at 2 miles. My right lung started hurting for some reason in the 2nd mile, so I stopped breathing so hard and it went away. Our next mile was 5:53. William stopped after that. He ran pretty well. Benjamin caught us a little before 3 miles. JoJo's knee started hurting in the fourth mile so we slowed down to around 93,94's. At around 800 to go Dad, Chad and I picked up the pace. I'm not sure what our next 400 was. In the last 400 meters I ran 81 and pulled away from Chad and Dad. My total time was 23:45. Dad and Chad were maybe 5 seconds behind. Benjamin ran a little under 20:00. I felt strong in the last 400.

I ran a fast 2000 on the track today with JoJo and Benjamin. We targeted a slower pace than last time, 82 seconds per lap instead of 80. It went a lot better than last time. Our first lap was 83, then we ran 81. JoJo started falling behind a little after that. Our next lap was 82, then I speed up a little and ran 80. I felt pretty good, my heart still wasn't hurting. In the last lap my heart started hurting a little, but it wasn't too bad. I ran 80 for the last lap and ended up with 6:46 for the whole thing. I ran a mile with Dad, JoJo, and Ashlyn later in 8:42. MiMi was supposed to run, but she threw a fit and refused to.

It was snowy today, so we ran 2x2 miles instead of our usual 4 mile tempo run. I ran the first interval with JoJo, Dad, and William. We started out a little behind 6:00 per mile, but we caught up towards the end. Our first mile was somewhere around 6:03. I ran 11:55, and JoJo, Dad, and William ran 11:56. In the second interval we were running even 6:00 for most of the time. Benjamin joined us at one mile. JoJo was struggling, especially in the last mile.  He dropped out with 600 to go. I felt pretty relaxed. I kicked in the last 0.25 and ran 75. Dad ran 80. Wasn't super tiring surprisingly.

It snowed again today, I ran 7 miles with Dad and JoJo in the afternoon. My legs got really tired in the last 3 miles. Probably because of the snow. We ran a bit slower than 57:00. I ran a mile with MiMi later in 8:57.

I ran a fast 2000 on the track today. 4 miles in the morning wiht JoJo and Dad, it was pretty clear, almost no snow. The 2000 went pretty well. Target pace was 82 per lap. We ran even 82's until 1 lap to go. I wanted to kick with 2 laps left, but Benjamin stopped me so JoJo wouldn't freak out. I ran 39 for the first 200 of the last lap, JoJo didn't want to kick so he ran 41. Then he started kicking, but I barely held him off. We both ran a last lap of 78, JoJo ran 6:46. I might have been a little under but I didn't have a watch, so I'm not sure. This is the first time JoJo and I both ran under 6:50.

I ran all 7 miles at once in the morning. I slept in a tent last night, didn't get a very good night sleep but I felt fine on my run. First JoJo, Dad, and I ran 2 miles to the track to get JoJo's jacket, then we ran 5 more miles. I don't know what time we ran but my watch is coming today.

I ran 2x2 miles like last week. The trail was fairly clear, with a few icey patches. I ran the first interval with Dad, Chad, JoJo, and William. I felt good, very relaxed. Chad and I ran 11:52, and JoJo, Dad and William ran 11:53. In the next interval JoJo paced the whole time. I gave him my watch, so I didn't get any splits. It was kind of disorienting not knowing the pace, but I was fine. We ran 11:48.

I ran all 7 miles in the morning with Dad, JoJo, and Benjamin. I got a bloody nose at 2 miles. Luckily we were right by a gas station, so Dad got me something to stop the bleeding. Benjamin ran a mile pickup in 4:43. Our total time was a little under 55:00. I ran a mile with Stevie and Ashlyn later in the evening in 8:43.

I ran a fast mile on the track today with JoJo and Benjamin. Our first lap was 77, then we ran another 77. Whenever I run a mile on the track I feel like freaking out after about 2 laps. It's interesting because I don't feel the same running in the canyon or when I'm doing another distance. I was able to keep fairly calm though. Our next lap was 80, it was partially because Stevie was running that lap. In the last lap JoJo and I really kicked, especially in the last 200. We ran 76 for the whole lap, and somewhere around 36 for the last 200. Dad did the first 800 and the last lap. I ran 5:12.9, just missed my record. JoJo ran around 5:12 too.

All 7 miles with Dad, JoJo, and Benjamin. We didn't get out the door until 4:30, so we ran pretty fast so we could get home sooner. Benjamin ran a fast mile, we bet on his time. JoJo bet 4:48, Dad bet 4:47, and I bet 4:51. Dad ended up being right. Our total time was somewhere around 53:40.

MoMo was trying to get his mile record today, it's a tradition in our family to try for a mile record the day before your birthday. MoMo ran the first 800 on pace for a record, then he slowed down a bit. He ran the mile in 6:12, so Dad had him continue to 2000. It's pretty hard to think that you're done and then run another lap. MoMo ran 1:40 for his last lap but still got a big 2000 record. We ran a mile with MiMi later. She ran 8:05, PR by 11 seconds.

I ran 2x2 miles in the canyon today with JoJo and Dad, William ran the first interval. It was mostly clear. In the first interval, our first mile was 5:52, then we ran 5:54. Dad gave JoJo a challenge to beat William by 10 seconds in the next interval. He paced the whole way. Our first mile was on pace I think, then we started to falter a little. We were 7 seconds behind with a quarter to go. We kicked in 81 but it wasn't quite enough, and we ran a second behind 11:36. Still, it's the fastest time we've run in this workout. I wanted to go faster the whole time, but Dad told  me to stay behind.

7 miles in the morning with Dad, JoJo, and Benjamin. We ran a 400 pickup with Benjamin. I ran 66 or 65. I couldn't tell because the snow was blocking the mark. My splits were 17,18,15, and probably 16. In the third 100, JoJo started catching me. So I surged and held him off by a bit. I felt good, pretty relaxed considering I was running faster than 70. Benjamin ran 71 and continued to the mile in 4:41. Dad was a little ahead of Benjamin.

Ran a fast 1200 on the track. Target pace was 75 per lap. My back was hurting a little while we were running there. It didn't really bother me while I was running fast though.  Benjamin paced me, JoJo is a little sick so he didn't run. I started 200 meters after Stevie(he was trying to run 4:30 and was being paced by Dad). First lap was 74, I felt pretty good. At around 600 I started panicking. Whenever I run anything longer than 1000 on the track with a watch I panic. When I got top 3 at Nationals I ran without a watch, so maybe I should try running without a watch next time. Our second lap was 77, then we ran 78. Stevie ran the last lap in 1:49, so I blew past him with about 150 meters to go. I ran 3:50, I know I can run 3:45 because a couple months ago I ran 3:00 in 1000.
