The best pace is a suicide pace

Mile warmup, then the neighbourhood. We were supposed to do core after, but I just stretched instead because I was way sore from repeats. We leave for BYU tomorrow which should be heckafun

Mile WU, then one 90 60 30. super short workout, but I'm not complaining. Got my legs moving at a decent speed, hit a couple of hills, good shakeout run. Psyched for BYU tomorrow

Good race. I didn't get as much sleep the night before as I would've likes, but I felt good. The course is mainly flat, three laps around a 1 mile course. I went out too fast, hit a 5:25 first mile. This hurt a lot and I died off a bit for the second mile, which was a 5:40. I guess everyone else died more, though, because I was still passing way more people than passed me. I picked it back up the last mile and ran a 5:35. This race hurt a lot, I gave my all, and it felt horrible, but great at the same time. Top 6 got medals, top 30 got shirts, so I got my first a top finisher shirt from a big meet this weekend. Final time was 16:40, so 40 seconds faster than 17:18 on the same course last year. This season should be exciting. S/O to the TP in the porta-potties for being the exact same texture  as my math homework. Next up is our home meet this Wednesday. We've never been beat at home, and we don't intend to break the tradition this year. 

Did not get out for a run today, but I did do two miles of moderate hiking so I'm counting that

Recovery day. 1 mile to the canal, iced in the canal. Ran back for easy core workout and visualization.

Home meet. The Uintah meet sucks. Multiple horrible hills. My thighs were super sore going in, and I went out way fast besides that. Ran in 2nd the first .5, moved into 1st for about 1.5 after that, then fell back to second for the last mile & finish. I think I'm legitimately going to talk to coach about running somewhere else next year, our course is horrible. However, my fame grows. I got my first interview for the paper today, so that was pretty fun. The time wasn't super great but I didn't really care, I'm not super focused on this meet, and the team won, so didn't really matter

Iced instead of the run today, the front of my thighs are dreadfully sore. Did the circuit room afterwards, going ham on al machines that did not use legs.

the workout was 2x90, 60, 30. Covered 2 miles, and assume about 0.5 of those were recovery, so the 1.5 miles were hard. The average pace was 7:19, but I think we were probably running low 4 pace on the sprinting intervals. Good speed. Wasatch is tomorrow, it's at soldiers hollow, which is where Ragnar ended. I remember that there were some really steep hills there, so it'll probably suck

That was horrible. I am not overly fond of that course. A lot of people really liked it, but I guess I didn't have enough hill/speed training to enjoy this one. The course was at soldier hollow (the finish line for Ragnar). A lot of the course was actually part of the 2002 olympic cross country ski course. There was way too much uphill, and the downhill was all so steep, that it hurt just as bad as the uphill did. I tried to go out kinda slow, to save energy for the hills, but something made me speed up way sooner than I should have. The time wasn't great but the course was difficult. Really wish I could have placed better, there was a really big pack about 10 seconds ahead of me that I wish I could've beat but oh well.

Good race run today. Mile w/u, then 4 mile tempo. The goal was 6:10 pace. We were way inconsistent. First mile was 6:08, so good. Mile two, Kenny pushed the pace hard, and him and I left talon and Clayton behind. Mile three we hit some headwind and hit 6:11. 5k at 18:54 (faster than the low varsity race time). The last mile had horrible wind, and we died a bit at 6:34. Average pace was 6:11 though, so I guess we nailed our goal decently. Great workout today, I'll be sore tomorrow. S/o to Kenny for being a freaking monster.

mile w/u, 2 mile recovery run, moderate core workout felt good, nothing's sore

The workout was 5xYH ladders. The distances are approximate, and I don't know the pace, but it wasn't too fast. But these things don't matter on workouts like this. I didn't go too fast, I didnt want to be sore when I take on Clinger and Hull this Friday. They don't stand a chance 😂

longer than usual recovery run, then a simple core workout focused on abs. I need more abs.  The wasatch rendezvous is tomorrow, and I've never had a good race on that course, but there's a first time for everything, and I'm staying positive. It'll be fun!!!

The rendezvous. They run 7 different varsity heats, one for each position on a varsity team. I ran in the #1 heat, and took 8/16 in that heat. So for really fast people, I'm exactly average. I ran a really conservative race. The hills are brutal, and with only 16 in the race, and all 16 spread out very thin, I was very alone. It would've been basically impossible to catch the guy in front of me, and the guy behind me wasn't going to catch me, so there wasn't a lot of pressure to push. I was very relaxed. Considering the effort level I actually put forth, I'm very happy with this time. 10 seconds off season record on a hilly course without pushing is not bad at all. S/O to Clayton for running a killer race. Our top 3 have an excellent spread this year, usually finish really close together. Clayton ran a 16:47 at this one, so now our top three have all been #1 at least once. We need to get two more up to our level if we want to qualify for state though. Next meet is carbon, which always produces some sick times, so I'm psyched. Maybe I'll finally get a PR.

1x1600, then 6x400. The mile was 4:55, glad to have gone sub-five in a workout, it was exciting the fours were 66(my favorite), 79, 71, 71, 71, 71, so nice and consistent. I'm sore, but I have work and lots of homework, so no rest for the weary

2 mile easy, then core and games. 

The story starts in duchesne. The bus breaks down, we have to wait 45 minutes for another one to come get us. In this downtime I caught 3 Pokémon and took a gym. We pulled up to the golf course. The boys race is first, the other teams are already on the line. I race off the bus, and take a hasty dump before the race. I swiftly attach my bib, and get to the line. The race commences basically immediately. Carbon. They changed the course this year, they removed the switchbacks, made it a 2-lap full 5k (supposedly). I went out at about 5th, hung around there the first mile. Clayton and I moved into 1st and 2nd, and ran shoulder to shoulder until about 1.5 miles. I moved forward, in order to stay ahead of this upstart kid from Richfield. I led the rest of the race. Finished with a 16:39. With no warmup, very little competition, full 5k distance, and considering that I wasn't all that tired at the end...great race today.

It was pouring, so most of the workout was inside the school. half mile warmup, then 15 minute run, followed by weak core and weird games. interesting recovery day

We ran the homecoming parade. I parked my cat at the end of the 1 mile parade route, and jogged it once to warm up. We then ran the route 4 times with the team, the last two times, Clayton, Talon and I went hard. The average pace was 7:45, but the slow leges were way slow, on the fast section we were probably doing mid sixes

We did yellow hill! Yay! We ran all the way up once, then we did one ladder, then four 45 second sprints. The total distance was about 2.5 on the hill, but it was intense and fast. Good workout, totally ready for park city

I'm on an FBLA trip at Utah state, so the workout happened there tonight. It was late, which is always fun. We ran 3 miles in the dark. 1.5 to the track, raced 300 on the track, then came back. While on the track, I had an instinct, an urge. We're racing this lap, and I see the steeple curve for the water jump something clicked inside me, and I was about one step away from the barrier when I came to my senses and realized there was no water in the pit, and I was about to hurt myself. I stopped and stared into the pit. I really want to run a steeplechase. Ran back to the hotel. The average pace was 8:20, but there were lots of up and downhills. 

Today was supposed to be an average recovery day, but it wasn't. Junior had to push the pace. We did three miles at 7:00 flat, so a bit harder than was probably good the day before a meet, but I'm sure it'll be fine. The last mile was so fast I almost though a certain group of idiots had returned from beyond the veil of graduation to make sure the end of every workout was a race. Good core workout after.

We ran 5:45 first mile to pace the slower guys. That was the plan. The crowd seperated everyone so the plan didn't work at all. Only Clayton, Talon, and I were together at the mile. I wanted a good time so I sped up a lot at this point. I don't know my second mile, but it was fast. I overcompensated, and therefore died the third mile. final time was 10 seconds slower than the same race a year ago. Still no PR's this season. Sucks to suck I guess.
