 Am -  2.75 miles.  Pretty easy run and I felt pretty good.  Groovy stuff man

Pm -  did 1.5 warm up.  So our workout was 600 at race pace, then 300 200 100 all out.  I did one lap of the 600, and i was really disappointed.  I still just had that pain in my hip that wasn't letting me run.  I kinda had a limp in my step.  So I just kinda did the other reps at a relaxed quicker pace.  Coach talked to me and I told him how it was.  It's not looking great for me to race region.  I almost started crying, this whole thing just sucks so bad.  I just wanna run fast.  It's so frustrating this happened and after all the yoga and intense rolling out and all the work I've put in I thought I would feel better today.  Coach said I just need to chill out about it though, and if It happens that I don't run at region, then I don't.  State is the ultimate goal.  I got 4.5 miles this afternoon

Am -  felt alright.  It was some nice morning weather.  2.75 miles

Pm -  had a decent run.  We just did a nice 3 miles the 4x200's.  My hip felt better but still I wasn't able to hold 1600 race pace quite 200 meters.  It feels like it's healing up pretty quickly now.  4 miles total

Later after our kid meet, I went and got a hardcore massage.  The lady said it was super tight and she said it released really well.  Wow it hurt my glute like a hell fire storm.  I won't run on it till tomorrow morning, so I don't know really how it feels yet.  Maybe racing on Thursday will be a possibility.  I probably won't do anything though if I can't sprint totally pain free.

Am - 2.75. Had a nice morning run.  Preston was a really distraught over what AA did last night. Poor guy

Pm -  went over to Dixie high hopeful to race.  Warmed up then did some 200 sprints.  It hurt, I was not gonna be able to hold out for a 1600.  I'm feeling much better though, right almost ready to race. After I ran though, my hip did tighten up a bit, so that's kinda no good.  I wish region was on the weekend or something.  So tomorrow, I'm really hoping to do the 800.  I'm kinda scared I will start to hurt bad halfway through or something.  I want to race really bad but also want to win state really badder. I got 4.25 miles

Am -  2.5 miles.  Last morning run for a looooooong time, that's awesome.

Pm -  5.5 total.  Went over to Dixie for day 2 of region.  When we got there I did a good shake out, then tried to mimick how I would start in the 800 to test out my hip.  Yeah, it's not there yet.  So that's sucks, but I still got a decent amount of easy miles in.  It turned ok that I missed the 800 because Paul got 4th place and qualified for state.  Also Dallin in the 3200m by place so that's dope too.

Took the APUSH test this morning.  I feel pretty good about it.  Hopefully will get a 5.  Freakin glad to be done with that though, that was a hard class.

Pm -  around 1:30, cause we got excused after the test, I did 45 mins with like 5 fartleks.  I felt alright.  Not 100% on the fast stuff, but it's coming along real good.   I got 6.1 miles

Pm -  I went out at 6 down to the Virgin River Trail for my run.  It was pretty sweet, all rainy and whatnot.  The temps were pretty nice so I went shirtless too.  My watch died after 3 minutes, and I was supposed to do 45 minutes, so I just guessed on distance and tried to go around 6 miles.  Hip felt decent.  Trying To Be Cool by Phoenix was going through my head the whole entire time.  I thought a lot about state next week, and I am feeling very confident in my ability to win both my open races.  

Something that raised hell today:  washed my luscious 2000 honda civic, and about 15 minutes later it started raining.  wow.  Also my new case for my phone came in the mail.  dope.  Also I got premium for spotify cuz right now its only 99 cents for 3 months.  life is full of hell raising thing right now.
