Today we did the Vo2 max test. I wasn't really looking forward to it (then again, who was?) but it went really good!!  I ended up going about 4 inches over 11 laps, which is a personal best for me I believe.  I thought that last time I did 11 and 3/4 laps, so I went into this thinking that 11 would just be expected for the beginning of the season, but it turns out I was around 10 and 3/4 for cross, so I'm hoping for big things this track season!  I also got some new shoes, including some Altra Lone Peaks, so I'm excited to try those out tomorrow!

We did a nice dirt road run out in the werner valley area near little black mountain.  I was pretty fun, but the funniest part was while we were 4 miles out, a truck tried to avoid us by going into the deepest sand ever.  Needless to say, it got stuck.  We pushed it out most of the way, but then the driver reved the engine to much and dug a hole in the sand.  It tooks us a little bit to gather some sticks and what-not, but we got it out, even though some pessimistic dirt biker lady told us it was impossible.  Huh!  Little did she know we were state champions!  It was really funny though because as soon as the truck got stuck we were all just joking about surving out in the wild & building shelters and stuff.  Way fun!  I also had a really interesting conversation with John, Josh, Dallin & Micah about work.  Pretty much the consensus was that we weren't going to be lazy like the rest of America, and I think our choice of sport reflects that...  haha, life's good!

Nice Tempo run today.  Ran for 15 minutes at a solid 5:45 pace.  Felt pretty good, and the team held together very well.  I was impressed with how well a lot of the sophomores did, they're going to rock the running world when they're seniors!  In other news, Josh Mcphie had to borrow my short shorts when I was done, so that was new.

We did a nice ridge run today.  I love that run, even though some kids think it's "hard."  What?  It's great!  I just love that run because it provides a good overlook, and you feel like you're on top of the city!  It also has a really fun downhill section.  We also did some striders today, and after that we did "plybatta"  good stuff.

We did a really nice tabatta style workout on the track.  It was nice because it was at your own intensity, so you get out of it what you put into it.  Our team is shaping up to be really good, we have a lot of really hard workers, especially our sophomore class.  I also enjoyed the basketball game tonight even though we got creamed, but I saw By-run and Abel there, so that was fun!  Good long run coming up tomorrow!

What a great run! I met up with the Thatchers, Kale, Dallin, Chloe, Rachel and Brianna and we went out and ran the Zen Trail.  It's only a 6 mile loop, but us guys extended so we got 10.  I forgot that when you run with the Thatchers you need to book your entire day, because we took every side route and climbed every boulder.  Haha, I actually love that it makes the runs so much more enjoyable, so much longer too...  Well, anyway, just another beautiful day in Paradise!  Stay dry.
