Wasatch Practice- I woke up with like 5  hours of sleep and was feeling sick to my stomach. I decided that I would start out slower and work my way up and see how I felt. I ran the first 3/12 miles with Ally, and RJ. We we were far behind my dad, Ruth, Zac, and Willy wasn't too far ahead. At the park Ally, Zac, Willy,and RJ took a breather but I didn't and finished the rest of the run a lot faster. Willy pushed at the end.

I ran over to Washington Elementary taking weird streets along the way to get about 3 miles in before actually hitting the school. I felt sick again this morning and I tried running the sickness out during the 3 mile warm-up. We ran 4.7 for our actual work-out, I ran with Zac, and Willy most of the way. Baker, Steve, Ruth were in front of us. I was feeling sick during the 4.7 run. Shoot! I still feel sick. Run Time: 54:23

Wasatch practice- Today we ran repeats instead of Webb Hill. For our warm up we ran from the little valley stake center to wells fargo. Started our first mile  at wells fargo, running along a bike trail. Then we ran another mile to the park by the dixie center. Took a a break at the park and ran 4 800's back to wells fargo. Then our cool down back to the stake center. It seemed like a lot of the runners were having stomach problems. My Dad, BOOZ, Fre, Bake, Ruth, Willy, Amanda were the runners there tonight.

warm up: 5:04, mile 1: 5:59, mile 2: 6:17, 1st 800: 3:02, 2nd 800: 2:58, 3rd 800: 3:04, 4th 800: 2:55, cool down: 5:28 RUN TIME: 5:28.

XC Practice- I ran an easy 3 miler with Fre. We started out running with Ruth, and Holt but later died to preserve energy or something like that. You know what they say: 3 miles is better than no miles. 10k and 5k next 2 days.

It was the most competitive summer games race I have ever raced in. Coach Holt took 2nd overall and my dad won his age group. I PR'd on this course, so I was happy about that. I was feeling sick through miles 4 and 5. I think I have a lot in the tank for tomorrows race, we will see what happens. I didn't get my 1st mile split.

split after 2 miles: 11:17.47, mile 3: 5:43.75, mile 4: 6:25.43, mile 5: 6:42.41, 1.2 miles: 6:25.46

first 3 miles: 17:01.22, Race time: 36:33.7 (5:52 Min/Mi)

I had a horrible race, its that plain and simple. I felt sick and was way sore and I just suck at running. I can't even beat a girl or a 47 year old man with a torn miniscus. I am real mad at myself right now, to describe how I feel I am going to "quote" a part of a Sir Elton John song: "I think I'm going to kill myself, cause a little suicide". Thats pretty much how I feel. The only thing getting me through my depression right now is the Suns shorts, jersey, and Jerome Bettis shorts I got from my bro in the Phillippines. Jessica Alba is also helping me get through the hard times, cause she's so hot!

I'm just kidding about all the depression stuff, life is good! I'm not going to let one bad race take me down.
