I didn't get a run in today because I skied from the butt-crack of dawn until dusk, but it was a blast, and a really good workouts because I went down steep mogule hills like every time!  We'll call it "cross training."

AM-easy 3...again

PM-10x400m repeats at 67 pace, with a 600m repeat in the middle at the same pace.  It was a really good workout, and I hit all of my times. It wasn't to hard at first, but It got hard by the end, kinda like life, but not.

I ran to morning practice, and then ran back, because today I didn't have school (kinda, not 'til 1:05) so I went skiing!!!!  It was so fun!  And tiring, my legs were definately toast by the end of the day, but it was such a fun day!!!!

AM-Spectrum wednesday and what-not

PM-We had another 20 min tempo run out at the Dixie Center today.  I didn't really do to well or hit my time, I think my legs were a little flat, because I had lots of positive thoughts during it.  It's always frustrating when you don't hit your times, but there's not much I can do about now, just learn from it and move on with my life.  Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.  Today I was the piece of wood the nail was getting hammered into. haha, I just thought of that!

AM-3 miles easy and all that jazz

PM-Nice easy Kenyan run with the 4x200 meter finishes with spikes.  What a good day.  I'm just really happy now because I had a lot of fun playing my last churchball game (sniff).  All two people who probably read this blog are probably thinking "why are you playing churchball the night before your first meet?"  Well, I'll live my life how I want to, and you live your life how you want to.  Haha, just joking, we'll say that it's good cross training!

AM-Nice easy three

PM-Race at the Hurrican Open today.  I definately did not race well, but it's ok because it's all acording to the plan.  Haha, I wasn't to stressed about it, my times will drop a ton for sure, once we start doing more speed in practice, but the Cardio is there.  It was also as windy as something that's super windy, so that also hurt the time. My only regrets were that some long haired hooligan (I'm just joking about that if you Pine View kids read this) passed me in the last stretch, I tried to keep up with him, but I did not have the pepper!  It's ok, I'll have better races other days.  The worst part was though, John beat me!  ARRRRRR!!!!!!!  I vow revenge upon him! Haha

I ran 10 miles today, but a little spit up due to traveling.  I ran a quick 6 miles in the morning, and then I got in the car and headed up to SLC. I ran another 4 miles on the treadmill while watching BYU beat Loyola Marymont, so that was good.  Then I watched my sister do some nice swimming at JOs!  She's gonna be amazing!  Now I am here in Park City, ready for a fun week.  My only concern is that I am able to maintain my running fitness.  We won't have hardly any time to run, because we're skiing from dawn to dusk, but I'm making it my goal to find at least the time to run 3 miles each day.  That may not sound like much to you people out there, but with skiing, I'll be good, don't you worry.

Today was a fabulous day!  We got up and went skiing all day long.  On the very first run I was going super fast, and I crashed and started sliding down the mountain, which was actually kinda fun.  I noticed throughout the rest of the day that my calf and hip was a little tight, but it didn't slow me down, but they are tight and angry!  Then I got home, and I had 30 minutes to get my run in before we went to the Jazz game (they barely lost, but it was so fun!!!) Basically I got a .5 mile warm up, 8x1 minute fartleks, and a .3 mile cool down. Hopefully I'll be less tight tomorrow.

After cross training (skiing) from about 10 to 5, I got in my fartlek ladder workout.  Skiing was great, and the run was actually quite enjoyable, I couldn't ask for a better day!

Got home from Park City today, and I ran 6 miles with my good buddy Jake Buenning.  Appernetly he's into body building right now, which I found pretty hilarious, but it was good to run with someone after so many runs alone.  Oh, I also got another pair of crazy short shorts, my cousin Joey found them at DI in Price, I'm so stoked to wear them!

AM-missed morning practice, had to run by myself, rats!

PM-Nice workout to get back in the swing of things after spring break.  Moderately paced 1000s, fast 400s, and a couple of 300s, all out.  Also, I wore my new short shorts, and they were great.  Note to self: Don't wear new short shorts on windy days

PM-New trail run!  We ran at Chuckawala, and it was great fun, except for the 1/2 mile when it was just sandy...  Haha, we stayed super dry!

AM-3 miles and the works.  Coach gave me the low-down on Utah State.  Man!  It's so hard to decide where to go for college!

PM-I went up to the region Solo and Ensemble Competition, and so did Courtney, so we just drove back and started the workout at about 5:30.  I hit all the times for the 400s and 200s, but I was a touch slow on the 800, bones!

AM-Good run, no one got hurt, and with John, that's the best you can hope for

PM-I ran the mile at the Hurricane invitational.  Two mile warm up and then the race, with a two mile cool down afterwards.  I was pretty happy with this race.  I beat John, and I also got a lot better time than the last meet.  It was so fun to get out and run fast, although I need to be more aggressive on my first lap, but I'll worry about that next race.

What a great race!  I actually like the 3200 a little now!  I was windy, so I just stuck at the back of the front pack.  I was hanging with them really well until 800 meters to go.  I ran the next lap just behind them, but not close enough to draft, and then I kicked it in the last lap and passed some peeps to finish 5th.  Rex laid the hammer down, and that was awesome, I beat Mcphie, but he's not going to let me do that again very easily.  It was just a fun race!  I heart running!

AM-Good ol' Spectrum Wednesday

PM-It was raining, so we didn't worry about times for our workout, but it was still so fun!!! It just felt like a good push, but pretty smooth.  We also did a new kind of cool down, we did it by heart rate, I kinda like it.

PM-Race day at PIne View!!!  It was super fun!  Me and Rex snuck inside the school and found Pine View's super secrest hideout. haha, the meet went great.  Me, Rex, Josh, and Kale all koala-ified for state, so I was really exciteded about that.  I do think  that I can go faster though, I need to be more aggressive and not just let people run all over me

Second day of the meet.  I got in the seeded heat of the two mile, so that was super good, I don't think as many people fudged their times as they did in the mile.  I wanted to break 10 minutes and koalafy for state, and I did!!!  I went a 9:53, and I feel great about it!  My new goal is to beat Coach Powell's record of 9:44

AM-A chilly run, but good.

PM-A good workout.  1x1600 at 5:19, 4x800 @ 2:24, then 3x300s, and 2x150s.  It didn't look fast on paper, but it was a good push.  The Ice bath was, well, icy!
