| No morning run again. Wanted to get some extra sleep with the race later today and being sick.
Our school is hosting a multi and distance carnival meet, and it's a qualifying meet so Coach had us run the 3200 to get it qualified and out of the way early. We got to run at around 8:30pm under the lights so that was pretty sweet. The weather was pretty darn near perfect too, but it was super dusty from the wind earlier today. You couldn't even see Pine Valley through the dust. The whole thing was super nonchalant, just being on our track and with mostly just PV and DH guys. Mentally I think it felt more like a tempo workout than a race. We went out a little slow, 2:32-33 for the first 800, but picked it up and we were about right on at the 1600. I just stayed relaxed and hit 1:15s for the next few laps and picked it up a little on the last. Ended up qualifying with a few seconds to spare. Wasn't too stressed about place or anything, just wanted to hit the qualifying time, so it was a pretty good race. I have mixed feelings about the 3200.

6 later at the meet with Sage. Went and watched some races, and Coach let me commentate the boys 1600. It was pretty sweet, I think I have a future as a sports broadcaster or something.

| Drove up to Cedar this morning for a workout with some of the team. A little chilly when we got there but it warmed up a bit. The workout was pretty good, my legs were trashed when we finished. I don't know if it was the elevation or just a hard week or what, but my legs had nothing in them after that last repeat. Solid week of training, and it's nice to be qualified for everything now so I don't have to stress about that at all. Good stuff today.

| Got up too late to go before the first session on conference, so I ended up running between the first and second sessions. Did the shortened ridge loop from my house for 7 total. Great day outside.

| Workout in the AM today b/c no school. 4x400m @ 3200 pace, 6x400 @1600 pace, 2x200 finishes. Good workout, a little windy this morning, but I was still able to hit my times and I felt good. Finished strong, very positive workout.
3 miles later in the evening.

| 3 in the morning. Calves bugging a little from the workout yesterday.
Panther Relays in the afternoon. I ran the 800 on our DMR team. Jaiden got us in the lead with the 1200 and we just stayed there the rest of the time. We broke the meet record, which is a super big deal. Probably bigger than region. Or state. My split was okay, but my calves were hurting before the race, and REALLY hurting afterward. Rolling out tonight. Need to take care of the little things.

| 3 in the morning. Calves were tight, but didn't hurt until about halfway through, then they started to hurt pretty bad. I scheduled a massage first thing when I got back and luckily was able to get one for this afternoon.
Had to hurry and get the run in right after school by myself because my massage was at 4:15. 6 easy.

| 4 miles this afternoon plus 4x200 pre race stuff. Calves felt a lot better, a little sore but probably just from the massage. Excited to race tomorrow, it should be good.

Race in the afternoon. Sort of weird. My plan going into the race was to get to the front and run with Jaiden, and we'd take it through 1200 at 3:15 and see what we could do on the last lap. I didn't get out as well as I'd hoped, still in about 5th which was okay, and we went through 400 at 1:05, on pace, so I didn't worry about moving up to push the pace. But we went through 800 at 2:15, so we slowed a lot, which I didn't notice. Moved around some guys on the third lap, and hit the bell lap around 3:21/22, and finished in 4:27 for second. Got passed by Jaiden on the final straight, dang! Hopefully we can get the pacing down, especially on the second lap, and run a fast time.

| Dixie Invite today. Coach said to take the morning off. Hallelujah.
Race didn't go as well as I'd hoped, I was alright through 800m, about 2:12, but then my legs just died. I had no kick or anything and slowed to a 2:17 last 800. Strange that my legs were so tired because the past 2 days have been easy mileage.

| 800 today at Dixie. Didn't feel too bad from the race yesterday on the warm up which was good, but the race didn't go so well, like yesterday. Got out alright, and went through 400 in :58, a touch slower than I'd hoped, but okay. But the same thing happened with yesterday, my legs didn't have the kick in them that they usually have. Pretty crappy meet, but just one of those that you have to move on from and work toward the next.

7 in the afternoon on the trails. Didn't check the website so I assumed it would be a workout day so I brought my workout shoes which don't have very tough tread so they got chewed up pretty nice.

Workout in the afternoon. 4x200 pretty much at 1600 pace, 600 at 1600 pace, 600 at 800 pace, 2x300 finishes. Good workout, the wind wasn't too bad but it was flippin' hawt. Was able to hit my times, so it was a good confidence booster for the 800. I just hit a little speed bump at Dixie and I'm moving past it.

Workout in the afternoon. Some shorter stuff with alternating paces between 1600 and 800 pace. Felt pretty dang good.

| Snow Canyon today. Ran the 3200 with Sage and Bryson just to get some more experience if I run it at state. The weather was pretty nice for our race, not really windy, and a little cooler with the rain last night, so good conditions to run well. I took the spikes out of my racing shoes last night because I thought they would make my feet hurt more because it's a longer and slower race, but I didn't really think about the track being wet from the rain and the fact that the bottom of my spikes are pretty much all plastic, so I slipped a little at the start and got out bad and felt like I didn't have very good traction throughout the race, but it still went good. I was able to stick onto an Ogden guy who I felt like was going a good pace and then picked it up the last little bit. Ended up with a 9 second PR for 5th behind a bunch of Ogden dingos. On the cool down with Sage and Bryson, we found a little skate park and totally shredded for a little bit. #sk8ordie #shredthegnar

| 3 real easy in the morning. Felt good.
Track workout in the afternoon. 4x200, 1x600, 1x400, 1x300, 1x200. Everything was at goal 800 pace except for the first 2 200s which were at 1600 pace. Really good effort for me today, and a great confidence booster going into BYU this weekend. I was able to hit the times, and hit the 600 time right on for the first time ever in practice. I've done this workout or something similar many times and that 600 is always the tough one, so this was a big workout for me. And I really felt it afterwards. Got super light headed and thought for sure I was going to throw up, but fortunately I didn't. #blessed

Track workout in the afternizzle. Similar to Monday's workout. 2x400, 3x300, 1x200 all at goal 800 pace. Legs were a little tired from Monday's workout but it was a good push on tired legs. Solid workout heading into the 800 this weekend, hoping to do some big stuff. I think I barely made it into the golden hour with my time from PV, so it should be fun.
