| I signed up for the Uncle Sam 5k on Sunday because I saw an ad for it and thought it looked fun. I got there a little after six and picked up my stuff. It was pretty cool because they gave us these red-white-and-blue top hats and shirts and these long white beards. I didn't have much time to warm up because the race started at 6:30 so I got in a quick 1 mile warm up then jogged over to the starting line. I got to the starting line a little late so I couldn't get a spot up front, so I had to just sit back at the start for a little bit and weave my way through a crowd of people. The leader was a guy from Redrock that I think I've raced before at the Children of Hope Academy 5k. He took it out way fast and when I finally got through everyone and was in 2nd, he already had a good 20-30 yard lead, which he kept almost the entire race. Chase Leavitt from Snow Canyon caught up with me with a little under a mile to go and I think he pushed me to go faster. We caught up to Redrock with .1 miles left and it was an all out sprint Chase and I from there. After that I did a 3 mile cool down. It was a pretty fun race and a good course. It was about the same pace I ran in the VO2 Max test last week so that was good. It wasn't way fast, but it was a lot faster than I ran last Independence Day, so I think there is still a lot of improvement left for this XC season. Happy Independence Day!!! |

Last day of camp. No morning run because we had a track meet in the afternoon. I ran the 2 mile XC course and took 7th with a time of 11:05. It wasn't my best race but I know that I can do a lot better.
I really liked this camp. I got to meet a lot of cool people and had a lot of fun. I think some things I learned will really help me have success this XC season.

| It was fun going to the BYU Camp but I was glad to be back and running with my team. We did 6.5 miles (2.5 mile warm up, 5x500m hill repeats, cool down). Good workout today. Another 3 miles in the afternoon. |

| VO2 Max for the second time this season with 2.5 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down. Ran with Josh for about 2 miles until he had to stop because of blisters. Ran the rest solo and was surprised how much further I was able to run since last time, almost 200 meters. I really like doing these VO2 Max tests because it's easy to see how much I'm improving. I think that if I can stay healthy, I can accomplish a lot this XC season. 3 miles in the afternoon. |

| 8 miles with a 4 mile tempo this morning by the Thatcher's. Ran with Josh and felt pretty good. We left around noon to Koosharem for our first day of running camp. Easy 3 miles when we got there. |

| Second day of team running camp in Koosharem. We ran 8 miles by Fish Lake and picked it up a little bit for the last half. Got in the lake afterwards and it felt great. Another 3 in the afternoon when it was raining, it felt awesome to switch it up from the hot and dry and run in the cool and rainy! |

| Team relay this morning at the third day of team camp in Koosharem. We did a 2.5 mile warm up and then got into teams. I was on a team with Riley, David, Rachel, and Elyse. We each ran four .5 mile legs around a hay field by the ranch. There was a lot of pressure on me, being a camp relay defending champion, but I had confidence in my team. We dominated from the start and finished strong, finishing almost an entire leg ahead of second place. Some people say the teams weren't fair, that it wasn't fair to have only runners from the A group on our team, but I would have to disagree. We just pulled through in clutch time. Cooled down a mile and then 3 more miles in the afternoon again. |

| 10 miles on this really cool trail in the mountains for our last day of team camp in Koosharem. Climbed almost 2000 feet in 5 miles to the top of the mountain. It was tough on the way up but we had a lot of fun on the way down. Awesome run to wrap up a great week of running! |

| This morning we did a .5 mile warm up and then a 6 mile fartlek run with 10x 1 min surges. It was a pretty fun workout but it was also pretty tough. It hurt but it was a really good confidence booster. I'm excited to see what I can do this season. 3 miles in the afternoon. |

| 8 miles this morning (2 mile warm up, 2xWebb Hill repeats w/ 1 mile rest in between, 2 mile cool down). I felt really good today. I like these hill workouts that we're doing and I think that they're really going to help me this season. I think that's one thing that I wasn't very good at last year, running the hills, and I can already see a lot of improvement in my running. Just over two weeks before our first meet! |

| About 8 miles this morning with the warm up. We did 4xdirt mile repeats with 3:00 recovery by Coach Thatcher's. Me, Josh, and Ben were supposed to be at 6:06 pace. Our first two were 6:02 and our last two were 6:05. I was surprised how easy the pace was. Also there were a lot of kids pushing up with us so that was awesome. Great workout to start the week off. Another 3 in the afternoon. |

| 9 miles total this morning. We did a warm up to the region course then did 6x3:00 hard w/ 3:00 recovery and 4x:30 hard w/ :30 recovery. I really tried to push myself in this workout and focus of relaxing my body and keeping good form while still running at a fast pace. Great workout today, it's awesome to have a lot of guys who can run with you and push you to do better each day. Another 3 miles easy in the afternoon. |
