Look at Me, I'm a Blog Title!!!!

Met up with the Thatchers and Jake Buenning to do an out and back run on poleline road.  It was probably the least adventurous run I've done with them.  That was ok though because we needed to get back to help Coach's dad move stuff to his new house.  After that we went larping!!!  So much fun!   It looks like some nerd game, but it is amazing!

We did a pretty fast track workout today.  We kept it real and ran 5x1000 meter repeats, along with 5x200 meter repeats.  My legs definately felt it, but it's good for me.  My bowels were giving me some trouble though, so I got some extra core in, if you know what I mean.  Plybotta after practice as well

AM-First morning run of the week.  Not bad, we were all a little sore from yesterday's workout, but it's still fun to get the run int

PM-Trail run out at the Arizona strip.  We went 7 miles and had a great time.  I just like running, especially on trails.  The only unfortunate thing is that Scott did not stay very dry, for the 2nd time!!  It appeared as if he got hit with a flash flood!

AM-Spectrum Wednesday.  Just another run, mane.

PM-Another tempo run out at the Dixie Center. I felt way way better this time and I averaged 5:35 pace for 20 minutes, and got further than last time.  Also encouraging, all of my mile splits were negative, so I just kept getting faster. Haha, man, I love running, so fun!

AM-Ran out to the bridge.  I forgot my beenie, but I still survived

PM-Another nice Kenyan run, and we stayed quiet, mostly, for a long time!  It was unbelievable!!  Overall, just a weird day, don't know why, but I got a churchball game tonight, so yipeekyea!

We did a pretty fun track workout today.  After a two mile warm up we did a 4 set workout.  Each set had 2x200s and and 800.  The first set we were a little slow on the 800, and it was way hard, and we were freaking out.  The wierd thing was, the next ones only got easier.  That's why I like being a distance athlete.

I went on a fun desert run out in the Little Valley area.  I didn't really stay on a trail or anything, but it was just fun!  I found a really steep hill that was fun to run down, so that automatically makes today a good day!

AM-We ran out to Hidden Valley & back.  Chloe made an interesting comment, she said "girls are simple."  We all laughed at that and had a nice discussion

PM-The Cosby test!!!  Going in, you'd think that running for 4 minutes would not be hard, but holy smokes, it is!  I got way farther than I did last time though, I think I got around 1550 meters, give or take, hopefully give...  But I was proud of the results.  Oh, guess what, JOSH MCPHIE BROKE A MINUTE IN THE 400!!!!!  Who thought this day would ever come?  I personally thought it wouldn't but I guess crazier things have happened, like Scott staying dry for once!  Haha

AM-nice run out to the bridge & back

PM-Just a good, really slow 5 mile run, and man, it felt good!

AM-Spectrum Wednesday

PM-Rocked out some mile repeats at 5:10 pace.  We did 4 total with a 400 jog in between for 3 minutes.  I hit all of my times, so that was just great!  It felt hard, but not hard at the same time, it was a paradox type thingy.  Haha, coach had everyone on the team guess where my mission call will be to, so that was cool to see! Hopefully it comes tomorrow!

AM- 3 miles

PM-Kenyan run, we were quiet for 30 minutes believe it or not!

AM-3 miles to the bridge

PM-A nice two mile power run.  We were way slow the first mile and then we dropped the hammer on the second mile, so I was pleased.  Also, I got my mission call to Tampico Mexico!  It was so great

Ran out by the Thatchers house with Jake Buenning, that was good.  Then I had a church ball game and I gave some 6'6'' kid some trouble in the low post.  Stay dry

We had 4 mile repeats today, but we had to do them on the road because soccer stuff was all over the track...  We did them on the Arizona strip, so it was mostly flat, just a slight incline one way, and a decline the other.  The ones with the decline were fine, but the uphill ones where so rough!  Oh well, just keep moving forward, it probably builds character and stuff like that.

AM-A nice easy run out to the bridge, and back

PM-6 mile run along the ridge.  I love this run, and Rex came back from Idaho, so that was fun!  Scott got sucked into a whirlpool again, poor guy, I think he's drowning.  Haha

AM-Ran out to the specturm and back, typical Wednesday

PM-Honestly, I had a bit of a rough practice today.  I had negative thoughts when I found out we were doing the workout on the track instead of on the road, and that just set me up all wrong.  I hit 10:44 for the two mile tempo run, which was about 14 seconds off my pace, but I actually think I was "competent" considering the wind.  It's ok though, because I learned from this, and I got feeling better when I came home and listened to some Billy Joel and watched part of Cool Runnings! Haha

AM-Discovered the Hidden Valley

PM-Thought we were running out at the Thatchers, we weren't.  Still managed to catch up to everyone and have a nice easy run (after I caught up, that is).

AM-Easy run to the bridge and back

PM-Another nice Kenyan run, we had fun imatating coach the whole time...

What a fun race!  We were just supposed to do a progression run, so me, Rex, and Josh Mcphie went out pretty slow, at about 6:30ish pace, and dropped it down to about 6:15 for the first 5 miles.  We consistently dropped our pace after that, and we finished going a little under 5 minute pace.  It was super duper fun.  Our whole team stuck together pretty well  until about mile 10.  It was just a fun smooth race, and we got to meet some cool people. I loved it.  Haha, afterwards I went to Wingers with Jake Buenning, Trevor, and Bridger, and I ate 8 sticky fingers and a basket of fries.  Wow, I can check that off my bucket list, it was so delicious and fulfilling!

AM-Discovered another hidden valley and the likes

PM-Nice easy run down pole-line road.  We scared some hiefers, and ran through the sand.  It's been getting pretty hot, but that's ok, it'll keep us nice and dry!  Also, we found a nice rib cage out in the desert that looked a little suspicious, my guess is someone upset John and Josh... Oh, I got a massage and a new roller, so that's nice I guess!

AM-3 easy miles

PM-We had 6x1000 meter repeats today, and they were pretty tough.  It was a little breezy so that made it hard. I started out well, but went a little slow for the next 3, then finished strong on the last two.  This is one of those workouts I'm just glad is over, haha, it was still good, and we got to take an Ice bath afterwards!  

AM-Spectrum Wednesday, oh yeah!

PM-Just an easy 5 that was crazy nice!  Actually, John found a nice long rope thingy, so that was scary, he went around with Micah and hog tied a bunch of people.  It's a miracle we made it out alive

AM-Easy run out to the hidden valley and the likes

PM-surprise!!!  We thought we had 400 meter repeats, but coach sent us on an easy 7 mile run instead!  What fun, and also, we discovered that Dallin can jump rope and run at a full sprint at the same time.

We just had a Kenyan run this morning, and I got to lead.  Not everyone stayed in line, and Courtney just complained everytime I did something fun, or she just didn't follow me, which led to dissension in the ranks, but it didn't really matter.  I got the milage in, and still had fun!  I went up to Brianhead after school, and I was going to try to run there, but it was a full blown blizzard that night, so no beans!
