Snow Canyon Invite. 1 mile warm up before the 800 and a 2 mile cool down. It was an okay race, I didn't run as fast as I wanted to though but still got a PR. I think I just need to get better position from the start so I don't get caught behind people and so I can stick with those front guys running 2:01-2:03, so that'll be something to work on next race.

Today was the Kanab Frosh/Soph Invite. I did about a 2.5 mile warm up and then ran the open 400 just to try and see what I could do. I wanted to just get around 55 but I didn't think I was going to hit my goal time because it was pretty windy. I took second in my heat but I didn't think I ran too fast, but I looked at the results and it said I ran a 54.2 and took second overall, so it was a pretty good race for me. Then I jogged around for about a mile to stay loose for the 800. They split us up into freshman and sophomore heats, so there was only six people in my heat. By the 200 meter mark, I already had about a 20-30 meter lead so I knew if I wanted to get a good time I was going to have to push myself harder. I ended up running a 2:09 so it wasn't an awesome time but I'm just going to try and focus on the Desert Hills Invite this weekend and get myself down to a 2:03. Did about a .5 mile cool down after the race.

Today I had to skip morning practice because we got home late last night from Kanab and I stayed up until midnight doing math homework.

PM: Just 4 easy on the spectrum route with some striders on the grass.

Forgot to do my run while I was at the track meet today so I hurried and tried to get in a few miles before it got dark but I only ended up getting a couple before it got pretty dark.

Today I ran the 800 at the Desert Hills Invite. I did a 1.5 mile warm up and some striders to warm up for the race. I got out fast and got really good position at the start. One runner went out way fast and ended up at a 1:56 but other than that, I sat on another runners hip who led the whole first lap. We came around at a 61-62 so I was about where I wanted to be for the first lap. On the backstretch, Jaren was the first one to pass us and I should have dropped the other runner and went with Jaren but I decided to sit for a little longer. I passed the other runner with about 75 meters to go but got outkicked by a few kids too. After the race my legs were tired but I'm still not satisfied and I think I still had a little kick left in me. Getting out into good position really helped me this race and made it a lot easier to run the time that I did. My goal for next race is going to be to try and go with Jaren on that last lap and not get passed in the last 100 meters. I got a 2.5 second PR which was good but I still need to cut a few seconds off to qualify for state. I don't think that was the best I could have done today, so hopefully if I keep working hard, and if I trust in my training and leave nothing left on the track, I will be able to qualify for state. That is my #1 goal this season.

AM: 3 easy

PM: 6.5 miles total (2 mile warm up, 4x200, 3x600, 2x300, 1 mile cool down). The 200s were at a pretty easy pace, 34-35. Then we did one 600 at our 200 pace, 1:42. Next we did two 600s at fast pace, my goal time was 1:33 but I went 1:34, 1:35. The next two 300s were at the fast pace too so 45s for both. This workout was a killer, it was a little windy but I was within two seconds for all my splits so it was a good push. I wanted to go all out for the last 300 but I had nothing left after 200 meters but I held on to get my split. After the workout I was completely drained, I want to feel this way after I race. As I walked to go inside the school I started to get really dizzy and everything started to get brighter and really blurry so I sat down and slowly worked my way to the school. I had to wait about 10-15 minutes before I could do my cool down because every time I stood up I got super light-headed. I left my water bottle in first period today so I barely drank any water during school so I think that could be why my head hurt so much after the workout so I need to remember to drink a lot of water.

Did the 400 at the Dixie invite. It wasn't a very fast time, so I don't think I'm going to be doing the 400 very much anymore this year, probably just stick to the 800. 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.

Did about a 1.5 mile warm up and then ran the 800. I got out really good and settled in a little bit. I didn't feel like I went guts out after the race so I need to trust my training more and push harder on the second lap, especially the third 200. 1 mile cool down.

PM: 6 total for the workout. Today didn't start out very well when I got to school and it didn't get much better throughout the day. I'm just going to try and forget today as well as I can and focus on qualifying for state.

No run this morning. I woke up before my alarm from a text from Brigham telling me he wasn't going to morning practice. I had a bad attitude about it and stayed in bed instead of going out for a run on my own. From now on I'm just going to run on my own in the mornings so I do not have to rely on Brigham for a ride. I'm also hoping that this will make me more disciplined. If I want something, I'm the only one who can decide whether I want to work for it or not. No one else can make that decision for me.

PM: 6 easy on the trails.

Did a 200 competition sort of thing for practice this afternoon. Everybody had a certain time they were supposed to hit and we did as many as we could at that time. If you walked or didn't hit your time, then you were done. Me, Brigham, and Jaren were supposed to hit 29. When we started, I barely snuck under 29 and I new it was going to be a tough workout. I got used to the pace and I was feeling pretty good for the first 10 or so, then it started to get pretty tough. When I got to 25, I had been barely hanging on for the last few. On the 26th one I finished and looked down at my watch and it said 30.2. Dang it! It was a killer workout but it was a good push and a pretty fun one. With a 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down it was a 9.5 mile workout.
