pretty good race.  I wasn't feeling too energetic but i ran alright.  

am - 30 min easy.  4 miles

pm -  we did 3 min x 10 inside the school cuz there was lightning.  it would have been so dope to have ran in that epic storm but it was pretty fun inside too.  8 miles.  60 mins.

Race:  Pretty fun, beast race in Cedar today.  I was feelin some good vibes.  I wasn't really expecting to win but yeah.  First mile I just chilled with my team and desert hills.  Second mile kinda the same but the pace sped up slowly.  Last mile I was just battling and trying to stay with Thatcher.  At 600m or so to good I just decided yolo and moved into the lead and started kicking.  400 left, I looked back and josh was still right there so I just ran for my life cuz this was my chance to win my first varsity race.  I guess I gapped him a bit and won safely.  Pretty dope, I'm way pumped about this, and I'm ready for more.  Not a great performance by my team though.  I believe in them that they can back me up it will just take guts.

pm -  easy 40 in the school cause of the stupid lightning.  It really sucked.  About 5.3 miles

Am - 30 easy, 3.6 miles.

pm -  time trial.  pretty good time trial.  I got 10:46 which isn't bad considering our course is now like equal as hard or harder than the region course, with the gravel hill.  I sat back the first mile, then had a strong last mile.  it was a good improvement from about 3 weeks ago where i was 11:10 i think.  and a PR.

Am-  ankle hurt so I cut some corners.  Got 5 miles in 40 minutes

pm-  took an easy day to give the ankle some rest and let it heal up good.  Did 30 minutes on the grass with Logan for 3.75 miles.

am -  really great run with cam, jason, preston, paul, andrew and alex.  we did a cool loop from sandstone down riverside dr. to the river trail, over to river road. then up around back to sandstone in a 9-10 mile loop.  80 minutes total.  good easy pace and very relaxing.
