GOING THE DISTANCE

pm- 3 miles to hot nails and back.  tomorows the region championships!  

pm- RACE.  This was a good race but a bit dissapointing.  I had really hoped to break 17 for this course, based off suu race and cedar race. I dont know if it was not running for 5 days or what but I had the worst side ache of my life so far.  It felt like a knife stabbing into by stomach and through my back with blood dripping all over.  In the race our group of pine views had a good pack.  Matt was pulling away a little bit but the rest of us were staying together good.  When were about by the bathrooms on our big loop, the side ache started coming on until it was just killing.  I slowed down and sunshine and josh and a few guys passed me.  Then coming down the slight, slight slope right before we started the last lap, I started to feel better.  I picked up the pace and was catching a hellian.  I almost passed him at the end but he just edged me out.  As a team for JV we did great and ended up with and UNDEFEATED SEASON!  The rest of the team did good but no other region titles.  Hopefully I can be in shape and physically prepared for foot locker.

pm-  5 miles, green springs.  I felt ok this run, but was still getting back into it a bit.  I always hate this run cause I am so close to home but then have to go all the way back to the high school.  Anyways, I fell behind the main pack a bit and ran with Randall for a bit at the end.  The weather is really getting nice lately.  

pm-  Today we did a workout on the track for practice.  We were supposed to get faster with each thing we did.  The workout was 1 800, 1 600 but faster, 1 400 but even faster, 1 200 even more faster, then a 400 all out followed by a 200 all out.  We started practice by having to take stupid pictures.  The we went and warmed up to pizza hut then started the workout.  The 800 felt faster then it was supposed to but thats alright to me, i just wanna pass all these fast juniors and run varsity next year.  It was raining slightly the whole time which was SICK cuz rain is SICK.  The rest of the workout was fast and hard but it was nice to do speed stuff and be able to go all out and not hurt bad.  Just gotta keep icing my foot and hip.

pm-  We ran down to the middle school and did wave hills.  I think we did eight.  Coach said he was just gonna have us do them until he said to stop.  So I thought we were just gonna keep going and going, but we stopped so that was nice.  Then we ran back to the high school.  It was a nice run, the weather was cool and cloudy and we just had some easy mileage with a nice little workout in the middle. 

pm-  3 miles up in the desert.  Well me and my dad planned to go on a run in the desert up by the dinosaur tracks and the parkway.  We went up on a trail which was really nice.  The scenery  was really nice and its fun to manuever the turns and the ups and downs.  Running on the road gets really boring.  We thought the loop was gonna be more around 5 miles but it only turned out to be 3.  Still a good fun run.
