3 easy in the morning to Hidden Valley. 

8.5 easy in the afternoon out on the trails behind the school. I felt like death today. It was pretty hot, but I drank a lot of water during school so I thought I would be fine. Wrong. I felt okay for the first 4 miles, but I struggled on the way back. With about 1.5 to go I wasn't sweating and I started to get goosebumps, and felt cold, but not the good cold that you would want when it's 100+ degrees outside, it was a weird cold. I felt a lot better once I got inside though, and then I was fine. I don't know why I felt that way because I was drinking water during school, but I guess I will just have to drink even more water.

3 easy in the morning to the bridge. 

In the afternoon, we were about to leave the high school to head to the region course, but it started raining and there was lightning in the area, so we had to stay inside. I HATE RUNNING INSIDE. I will never live in a place where you have to run on an indoor track in the winter. We jogged around inside for a little over 20 minutes before the storm blew over and we were able to head over to the course. We warmed up about another .5 mile before starting the second 2 mile time trial of the year. Last time was about 3 weeks ago, and I ran 11:15. I felt pretty good today, and we had a little cloud cover, although it was so dang humid from the rain before. I just focused on staying relaxed, and planned on speeding up towards the end. Well I stayed relaxed and led the whole 2 miles with Josh, and we were 10:51 according to my watch, so not too bad for how relaxed I felt, and a pretty good improvement from last time.

6.5 easy in the afternoon with 8x100m strides afterwards. I felt a lot better than I did on Monday. Coach fell in the swamp.

3 easy in the morning to Hidden Valley.

In the afternoon we went to the region course for our workout, 2x2 mile repeats. Super hot and humid today which made the workout tough, but we all pushed through it. Good stuff from the team.

American Fork Grass Relays today, definitely one of my favorite races. The weather was awesome, it never really got too hot and it was overcast the whole time. Spencer started the relay off for our team, he did awesome and handed the baton off to Jaiden in 8th. Jaiden passed some more guys and got us into 3rd I think, before handing it off to Sage. Sage battled it out with Provo and Lehi and passed the baton to Josh in 2nd I think. Josh put a 12 second gap on Lehi and handed it off to me. My legs didn't feel great, but I knew that if I could just hold that lead coming into the gauntlet, then we would finish 2nd. The Lehi kid was good, and he gained 5 seconds on me on the last leg. It was tough, but I had a lot of help and motivation from the coaches and guys on the team. We finished 2nd to American Fork and had the 9th fastest time in the 16 year history of the meet, which was pretty flippin' sweet.
