Einstein 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:19:25, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 2 | | I started out too fast and started feeling sick. It was still kind of fun though. It was a cool course around my neighborhood and Panorama Elementary.Willy tore it up with a 18.00(1st place) and Jeff took 4th behind me.
1- 5.45, 2- 6.45, 3.1- 6.53, total: 19:25.57
total miles: 3.1 + 1 of cool down and warm up= 4.1
About an hour and a half after this race I went and ran another 5.1 miles on some bike trails by my neighborhood. I felt really tired but kept on going.
NEW MILE TOTAL FOR 1 WEEK!

| | 3 mile AC this morning.
7.1 up in Green Springs today. I started out kind of slow, and fell behind the top guys. I started to pick up my pace and caught up with Kimzey, Willy, Austin, and coach. It took me forever to catch up though. Once I did I was glad because I ran a lot better with them. It was a great run today!
run time: 50:55

| | I felt horrible this morning so I didn't run with the team. I ran from my house around 3 pm. I just ran around to get 5 miles around then I did some striders. My calves were cramping up pretty much the whole time.

| | Foremaster Hills today.
1. 2.09
2. 2.03
3. 2.01
PM: I wasn't planning on running a second time, but then I got bored at a mutual activity. We hiked to the Scout Caves by Snow Canyon Park. I started in the back and got bored of all the slow hikers, so I pulled ahead and started running. I got to the caves checked them out and ran back to my car. Since I ran back I had like 30 minutes until anyone else would come in. I ran 2 more miles on a bike trail. I was in pants so these miles I ran were uncomfortable.
mile total: 4.2

| | I missed morning practice again. I ran on my own after 4 wheelin'. I did the Sunrise/Foremaster run from my house and extended a little bit. I tried sprinting in about 260 meters from my house but I had no energy. I would guess that this run was about 7.6 miles.

| | DESERT RUN- I wore my dads Garmin today. I started by going to the high school, then into Sanberg Desert area.

I liked this run a lot even though I had a lot of slow miles in the sand.

| | I didn't run this morning, too tired! I even missed 1st period just to sleep in. Coach Holt wasn't there today so Mik'L told us distance boys(Austin, Fre, Baby Fresh, Willis, Danny, and BY) to run either 5, 4, or 3. We ran out to Holts house but he was at the doctors, then we ran back to the school.
5.55 miles

| | Most track meets are boring, but today I bet on some elementary kids during lunch. It made watching track so much better. Dawson always picked the winners though.
Easy 5 with Willy, Austin, kimzey, Fre, Danny, and BY.

PV Invite (2 miles) (2 Miles) 00:11:49, Place overall: 23 | | I tried to run with Jeff but I just didn't have it in me on the last couple of laps. I did have a good finish though. I just need to stay more positive throughout the whole 8 laps.
time: 11:49
I felt pretty dehydrated when I ran the 800. Not much to say about this race, except I need to get more speed and be more mentally tough.
time: 2.28

| | Easy 5 miler with everybody.
I am worried about my knee, it hurts to bend a lot. It feels like there is a lot of pressure when I run on it. I am afraid that it will really suck for tomorrows 800s.
