GOING THE DISTANCE

Pm -  Had a nice easy day.  Did 4.2 miles at a pretty chill pace like 7:30 then about a mile of striders on the football field.  

Pm -  Last little workout before foot locker.  10 minutes of warm up then 6 almost sprints of like 100-200m.  10 minutes of cool.  I felt fast, the race should be baller.  3.6 total

Pm -  Left for Cali after lunch.  got to our hotel in San dimas about 6 California time.  Went for a chill 30 mins, it was great.  3.8 miles. The new Pegs I got felt great.

Am - course preview at Mt sac.  3 miles

Am -  Ahh another rough race.  I got a good warm up and was physically prepared and good.  1st mile was good, I was about 4:55 in a spot where I wanted to be.  My plan was to move up a lot the last 2 miles.  Hit the switch backs and man, they just killed me, could hardly move at the top.  All the hills were brutal on me.  Last 3 weeks I've just been totally burned out, physically a lot and mentally.  Rest of the race I kept making surges, doing my best.  But yeah it sucked lol. Idk what my place was.  Glad to have some time off after this, I need it.  

It was a great trip though.  Getting introduced as a state champ was pretty dope, ha!  It's been a great season, got my sole goal of being a state champ.  Gonna go get some more titles in May.  Shout out to Garek and Connor, what beasts.

Pm -  Lifted weights after school.  Stuck to upper body as my legs are still flippin sore, even though I keep rolling out a ton.  Me and Paul maxed on bench press, I lifted 175lbs.  I now have the goal to bench 200 before I graduate.  Made a above average green smoothie when I got home.  I'll do some yoga later.  Good day.

Am -  Wow, the shortest day of the year.  First day back since footlocker.  It was real sad parting from a life of doing nothing.  Me, Alex, and Julien went to Saint George and ran Owens loop.  A pretty horrible choice for the first day back, my throat was burning up the hills, but it was fun.  Saw some great views of Saint George and Pine Valley.  Did 3.3 miles it was tough.  

Coach holt is having our team do running2win, and it seems swag.  But it's really cluttered and I just don't like it as much, plus I have this swag community on here.  so I'm gonna keep up fast running blog too.

Am -  dope run on prospector trail with Alex and Julien.  Desert was awesome with some cool fog and mist.  Perfect running weather.  Been getting 10 hours of sleep the last 4 nights so life's good.  4 miles.

Am -  Met up with Mitch at Sullivan park, Alex and Julien came along.  We headed up the river trail. Pretty dope run in really thick fog, it was pretty wild.  4 miles in about 30 minutes.   I felt pretty decent after a vigorous seshun of bball last night.

Am - Me, my dad, and Alex went and ran a loop from the Tbone trail, just off the west side of turkey farm road.  Never ran there, it was fun to check it out.  I made some killer german pancakes after.  I should probably raise some hell today.

Pm -  Merry Christmas!  Me and Alex waited to run till we went up to Cedar.  We ran the up the C trail, just like last year, except there was about a foot more of snow.  Dang, it was super fun.  Did the 3 miles in about 30 minutes, but the effort was defiantly up there, it was a hard run. 

Am -  Got up around 9, ate a bowl of cereal, and headed out.  It was cold (for a desert dweller), like 35 with wind.  I felt pretty good though, so the pace was decently quick, just under 7:00.  Did one of my favorite loops; down to the frontage road, over to and down main street, across telegraph, up green springs drive up to the club house, then around my church and home.  Wore my new shorts, some dope BOA ones.  It was too windy of a day to wear shorts with a split like they have but #yolo. 

Am -  ran an easy 4 miles with Alex before church.  I don't run much on Sunday's, it was a nice way to start my day.  My family's going up to Eagle Point for 3 days to ski, so rather than run in 5 degrees I'm gonna take my rest day tomorrow, so I ran today.

Pm -  Got home and went on a run around 3.  45 degrees and sunny felt great.  Me, alex, and my dad ran Dino Cliffs and it was dope.  I saw Mr. Gunn, one of my teachers from middle who I ran up a volcano with in Costa Rica.  Legs were a bit tired from snowboarding crud the last two days, but I still felt pretty decent.  It was a lovely 5 miles.

Am -  Me, Alex, and my dad drove up the turkey farm road a ways and ran Yellow Knolls trail.  It was way sweet.  I'd never done it before, and there was such legit landscape.  It went through a place that would be a cool place to camp.  Trail was a bit hard, but overall great run.  Out and back 6 miles.
