PM- Neighborhood Loop with Marieta and her brother Jake. Trying to run off too many ribs I ate at dinner. 2.02 miles 

AM- up with Running Club this morning even though I didn't want to do tempo. I started with Steve and Logan and quickly faded then decided to do my own run and find a bathroom. At XC I had some good coversations with Carson Adams and Nathan Caldwell as we did some grass running. 8.83 miles 

PM- 3 with Aaron going what seems like a tempo for me. 3.03 miles

AM- Got out the door before 5 hoping to get 8-10 before boating at 7. I made it half a mile and felt nauseous. Turned around and took care of business at home. I didn't have the desire to get back out. I was cursed for not going to xc practice. 1.12 miles 

PM- Went out at around 1:30pm to sneak in a run to make up for the opportunity I missed this morning. I slugged out 6 on different sections of the Mayors Loop. 6.07 miles 

AM- 5 miles of gradual uphill up Willis Creek. Super slow and sluggish but I endured. Then I was rewarded with some rolling hills through Broad Hollow. Great run on the mountain! 11.38 miles 

PM- I wanted to go out for a second run but was feeling tired from weekend activities. I did jog out my frustrations while golfing. .25  

AM- 15 Baseline with the team. It was fun to see kids pushing themselves with teammates. 4.25 miles 

PM- George and I took Dawson on some of our favorite backyard trails (up above Bear Claw). We all moved pretty fast through some rocky terrain. Then in a spot we usually see owls, we had had a different encounter. A big brown bird flew right over us and dived bombed. We heard 2 loud thuds! We thought it was diving to attack something but the thud noise was concerning. We hiked up to the spot we saw it dive and found a dead vulture. Poor guy! We left dumbfounded on what happened to cause the crash. 4.25 miles 

AM- 15 road/15 grass. Added 2+ miles by PV. 5.99 miles

Middleton with the team. Mixed around with different people and got to know Grant a little better. I should have added more mileage but got caught up on preparations for the weekend. 4.15 miles 

AM- I wish I would've ran a little more on Friday but got caught up with friends at the cabin. I felt nauseous all race but I still competed throughout. I probably started out too fast "testing the waters" on the competition. I could've kept the pace for several more miles. George took 5th overall and Ross 13th. Ran a nice cool down to cheer on Star.

AM- Great tempo workout with the team! I mixed in with most all of the groups at one point or another. I'm really enjoying coaching so far this year! I'm excited for what lies ahead. 7.11 miles 

PM- Dawson and I went up up to Pine Valley to hike Whipple. I of course took us on the wrong trail and followed the creek too long. So we bush whacked and rock climbed trying to find the trail. We eventually retraced our steps and found the trail. We weren't able to reach the summit because of a dinner appointment. We still made it 3 miles up the trail then 3 miles running down the trail. Cooled off in the creek afterwards. 3.55 miles (of actual running) 

AM- Ran 2.59 around the hood and a little on the golf course. Half road and half grass then striders. I chatted with Carson and Timothy. Ran 2.65 after weights trying to find my Dad (Luke said he was running by Costco). 9.27 miles

AM- Tour de Washington. Made our way down to Sandbergs with level 1. Then ran with Elijah, Bentley, Grant, and Nic. Weights after. 5 miles 

PM- I missed my run with Aaron because of family BBQ. Needless to say it was hard to get out and run after eating 4 gyros. 2.03 miles 

AM- A couple of 5 minute tempos with the girls. I tried to move around to different groups and it became a little problematic because they were spaced out far. I got a tempo in with Laney and Brecken. Then part of a tempo with Allison, Sadie, and Jenna. Then last one with Pyper, Kennis, Emma, Elijah, and Nic. Striders after. 7.83 miles

WHIPPLE TO FORSYTH

I started out really conservative but strong. The first 3 miles were straight uphill. The trail was more rugged and not maintained very well. Both Ross and I pushed well but were overwhelmed by the climbs. I had been wanting to do a challenging trail run so I'm grateful I got out today.

Saw Steve Ott's dad, Logan Hall and Josh Hardman on the trail. When we got to Forsyth trailhead my Dad biked back to the Whipple trailhead to get my car. I ran to the church and saw T-Rav Roberts cruise by me. 

22.15 miles covered (about 18.15 of legit running) 

6,231 vertical feet 

AM- Tempo with the team. I mixed in with most every group. Good energy! 6.59 miles

 PM- Mayors Loop with Metler in the 103 heat. Saw a king snake on the trail. 6.03 miles

AM- Hilly run! Saw some good pushes from kids. I took the level 1 kids up around towards Maverik. Added 2 after then some ultimate. 7.03 miles

PM- Ran 2.6 before meeting up with Aaron. Solid Mayors Loop. Dylan Magnolia scootered by me so we talked for a minute. I really needed to get out and get some more mileage. It's one of my best ways to relax when life gets weird. 8.64 miles

Got up a little before 5 and couldn't go back to sleep. I drove out to the dam road where I guessed the team would be meeting. I ran to the dump and climbed that monster hill and down into Hell Hole. Felt relaxed and enjoyed the early morning views. Caught up with the team and did some tempo with Parker, Devin, Gianno, and Porter. Parker is a great leader. Then I ran back to catch up with more groups. Great run to end the week. 15.32 miles
