The Mongoose

3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. 4x1 mile repeats at the region course in the afternoon w/4x200m finishes. Felt a lot better today than I did last time we were here. Felt like I did pretty good today but I had a few aches and pains that I'm trying to figure out. I'm getting some new shoes today so hopefullly that solves some of it.

3 in the morning to the bridge. Wore my new shoes this run. My foot still hurt a little bit but I can tell it's getting better. I just have to keep taking care of it. 5.5 in the afternoon on the trails.

3 in the morning to The Spectrum. In the afternoon we went to the Little Valley Park and did 400m repeats. We decided to do the last couple all out. After the first all out one, the front of my hip was hurting really bad. I didn't do the second one because of it. Stretched a lot but it was still hurting so I scheduled a massage for tomorrow. 

3 in the morning to Hidden Valley. My hip was still hurting but it felt a little better. No afternoon practice, got a massage instead. We'll see how things go.

Today was the Cedar Invitational. Ran 3 to the bridge this morning and my hip was still hurting so I didn't know what to expect during the race. Our team did really well today, but I just didn't mentally prepare for this race and got too distracted by little things. I felt really lousy for most of the race but I think I still did okay, I just know that I can and will do better. This season has not seen the best of me. This race made me think of how much I've improved from last season. Last year I ran 17:05 and took 14th in the JV race, it's crazy how much I've jumped this year and still improving! 

6 miles running around the St. George Marathon today. Coach Fielding and Coach Madsen did awesome. I think we're so lucky to have top-notch coaches here at DHHS and I think that is the reason why we have been so successful. Very proud to be coaced by these phenomenal men!
