Am - Easy 4 miles. Felt pretty good.  Alex keeping us up till 10:15 every night is getting really annoying.  I need more sleep.

Pm -  Tough workout this afternoon.  We did 3 mile repeats at XC race pace (goal for region).  My goal time was 5:05 pace.  First mile was supposed to be 10 seconds fast.  I was able to get 4:53, a bit quick and it was hard.  Second was supposed to be 15 seconds slow; I ran 5:24.  This rep was too slow, but it was freakin hard and my legs were dying.  Last rep was supposed to be 5 seconds fast so I had to get 5:00.  I told my self, "I'm not gonna be a noob who runs a crappy last mile."  So when I came through at 3:51 for 1200, I busted my but and ran 1:08 to finish up with 4:59.  After those miles, we did 200m all out.  The whole workout was supposed to simulate a 5k race, good stuff.

My cool down was rough.  I was feeling waaay dizzy; no doubt I didn't hydrate good today and yesterday.  Just did laps on the track so if I passed out then some soccer player could save me.   Got 8 miles on the afternoon.  Lifted weights after.

Am -  Slow easy run this morning.  It hurt though man, my legs are sore.  Soleuses feeling savage.  3.8 miles

Pm -  Easy 45 minutes this afternoon.  Was feeling pretty sluggish.  Legs pretty sore, but they got a bit loose throughout.  Ran the first half on the road, then finished up on the grass.  We discussed hardcore stuff like killing 5 innocent people and to save billions of innocents and the ethics of killing for the greater good and all that hardcore stuff.

Am -  Easy run, 3.9 miles.  Actually felt pretty good.  Had decent energy and my legs didn't feel too sore. 

Pm -  I typed a beast report for this and it all deleted so it's gonna be basic.  Had a 15 minute tempo then went straight into 20*100m alternating from F pace back to tempo pace.  Brutal workout, one of the best so far this year.  Got 7.3 total on the afternoon

Am -  Easy 4 mile run, felt pretty good.

Pm -Again just an easy 4 miles, the guys who are racing tomorrow did 4*200m but I didn't.  Legs feeling pretty good.  I'm proud of the few who participated in spandex thursday.  Our numbers for spandex Thursday are so low, it's sad.

Am -  Same old, same old easy 4 with my boys to Starbucks and back.  Felt good this morning, I truly did.

Pm -  Team was racing at Cedar Invite today.  I rode the bus up to cedar, then I drove me and the varsity girls over to the region course in coach holt's tahoe.  Over there, I ran 15 mins warmup, then did a nice little fartlek workout; 2*(1,2,3min).  Did them at goal race pace for region, a nice flat course, so 5:05.  Legs were feeling pretty tired, but honestly I ran the reps without much trouble at all.  

Drove back to Cedar High and I ran 20 minutes barefoot around the course.  Got 8.7 total on the afternoon.  Shout out to my boys for taking the win in JV and Varsity!  Also met Garek B who wrecked the boys race, wow.  Good luck to Coach Holt running his last ST. George marathon tomorrow.

Am -  Got up to aid station mile 22 for the STG marathon around 7.  Me, Alex, and Jake took off from there for our run for today.  We headed up the bike trail at first, then found a cool single track that took off.  It led us down a ravine onto a trail which led us to chuck walla trail and we ran that all the way back to the aid station.  Beast 5.1 mile loop.  

Aid station was fun.  Saw Coach Holt in his grand finale, full of emotion.  I saw I think fritz, the East coach, Ryan Nielsen, Mr. Neilsen, all sort of people.  And I think the parents of Thom Heaps of lehi?  They had pioneers uni's on and said they knew Connor baller.
