Today was the first day back at training for Cross Country practice. So we did the half mile warm up as a team then dynamic stretching. No stretching circle:( So Bill told us since it was the first day back it wouldn't be a hard workout today, which it wasn't. We did another half mile warm up then 2 miles of speed changes. My first I did with Tomy but then we stopped and got water half way through. Then the second mile of speed changes I did was with Dakota. After every mile we alternated the way we were running so we did run in the same direction for 16 laps. Then we just did a mile cool down. I did mine with Amanda, we had to do about 200 meters more because she had a garmin and it didn't say we were at a mile yet. Then I came home and did my arm weights, no leg weights today because supposedly tomorrow is JV regions and I want to do good at that:).................................................................. IN SHOT PUT AND JAVELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was the JV regions over at Bountiful High School. I really wanted to do good so I was really going to push it. So I didnt get a very good warm up because the coaches never got us a bus so we had to bus pool with Highland. That was actually really fun. So I did a mile warm up with Caden then we sprinted to the bathrooms and then sprinted back and did drills, strides, and stretching. So then they called us to the line and we all lined up. So I got a pretty good place, I in lane one and on the front line. So I got out way fast for the first 200 meters but then I got boxed in so the second 200 was way slow. My first 400 was about at a 76 pace, which is way slow even for me. So then I was boxed in for the next 2 laps, I couldnt break out of it, they just kept moving everywhere I was and it was ticking me off. So on the last lap I just progressively kept getting faster and I didnt care, I just ran on the outside of the curve so that I could pass them, which I did. But my overall time was way bad. It was a 5:41 and I really wanted to PR today. I was way dead after that. So then I went over to the stands and I saw my mom and dad and they gave me some gatorade. So then Caden and I went over to the starting line again but this time it was for the 800 and I really wanted to do better at this this time. So we did strides and some stretching, while watching Chester be a perve and an annoying one at that groping Tania. It was sooooooooooooo annoying. So they called us up to the starting line and this time I was in lane 2 which is still OK. So the gun went off and the pace was set at quite a speedy pace for the first lap. We did a 67 first lap but it felt like it was a ton faster than that. So I was in 3rd place for the entire race except on the last 200 meters some Bountiful kid passed me so I stuck to him and we were sprinting it out at the last 100 meters and he passed me and beat me by .01 of a second. It made me furious. So then I was way dead. Bill wanted to make a 4X400 team so I ran inside the school and I did my cool down in the school. I did about a mile in the school with Josephine, Ricky, Javier, and I. Just by jogging along in the hallways. We got so lost in that school, it is so hard to find my way around that place..... DANG. So then we went up to the dance room and watched Josephine dance, but they had a few treadmills in that room so I did a half mile on that at a way fast pace. But I didnt care because there treadmills were way dope,,,,,, They had fans on them! It was way nice. Overall it was a way miserable day today. I didnt feel good at all from the beginning to the end.

Today for my first Cross Country practice of the season, it was just a run. I used it as a tempo run and stayed with RJ and Dylan for half of it because it was actually supposed to be a 8 mile run but I didnt have time to do the full 8 so I had to turn back at 3.1. So the run was, was the running of the leopards 5K course backwards. So we exit the track, I immediately speed up to RJ and Dylan because they start to break away from the group. So we went up Sunnyside Avenue up until we get to foothill. Then we go on foothill until the first light, I think the streets name is Wakara. So we go up that, turn right on some random street and then we turn left back onto Sunnyside. We stay on Sunnyside for about a fourth of a mile then we turn into the This is the Place monument. We are in there for the rest of the run. So

Today since we dont have school, because of Memorial Weekend...... YAY I did a work out on my own. I had to mow my lawn and my 2 grandmas lawn in the morning so I couldnt go running in the morning. So when I went to Liberty park I met up with Michelle there and we did 2 miles of going around on the outer trail of the park. We did this because we were already at the park because of the Peer Court end of the year BBQ

So this morning I went over to Dakotas house because we were going Hiking with Tania and some other people. So Josephine slept in so she couldnt come so it was really only Tania, me and Dakota. So we went on the trail hike but it was actually a hike not a run so I jogged at walking pace while they walked it so I could count it as some mileage:) yay for me. So then I left Dakotas after a few miles hiking and finding a ******* spot and a HOBO house:) Then I came over to my grandmas house and I did 5 miles while my cousins who came into town from Colorado Springs, Colorado and my family were putting up the back yard furniture at my grandmas house. They drove a ten hour drive in eight hours, ahh scary!.!!!!!!!! So I went up her street until the top, then I turned left and went to my mothers elementary school. So I did a lap around that which is about a half mile so in total I have done about 1 mile. Then I left that and went to the free way right next to Skyline High School. Then I turned around and went along some street and went straight on this mysterious street until I hit somewhere that I recognized. Then I went down and this took me to the elementary school again so I did another lap around that and then came home. It was a pretty easy workout throughout the day because the hiking was a blast. Thank you Cobler family for letting us go hiking. And the adventure run that I went on today was way fun and way hilly. I think I am getting stronger because the hills didnt bother me at all. I am going to have a great Cross Country season this year if I continue to work as hard as I am now and the runs that I am doing now keep consistent to keep up the muscle build up for my legs.
