I ran a marathon today!!!

April Fools. Hah. Anyway it was premeet today. I felt really good overall on the run, but the 400 paces were a little shakey. After finished mileage and did abs of course. Also Shoutout to Coach Jamie for running with us today! And unshoutout to Gan and Dallin for going somewhere warm and not bringing me... Also unshoutout to Collin for doing nothing but roast me. How rude.

Mile was not the best at a 5:35, but 800 was a lot better at 2:28 I think...

I truly have mixed emotions about today's run. First, I was beyond thrilled to be running with the team again and special shout out for coach J for running with us! However, I was roasted particularly hard for a large part of the afternoon because Sami and Gan seem to think it's roast Watson week... Again. However it is soooo their turn so anybody reading this needs to help me out and roast them please and thank you. Anyhow the run itself was pretty good. I was feeling decent and we kept a good pace. Nice to have low mileage because it was feeling a little toasty today. We did a loop out by Wine's park and then through state up to the cemetery and back the old Lehi.

Nice warm weather and a hell, whoops HILL workout todayyyyy ;) 6x1min. pick-ups up airport hill. Felt pretty good today and last couple felt good and hard. Kaylie really pushed me today! After finished up mileage with Guppy. We may have stopped and got "slightly" wet at the creek which felt amazing. Also I'm #grateful that some people decided to waste water and turn on their sprinklers mid afternoon. Wish I could let them know that their wasteful habits weren't so wasteful today. Also shoutout to a certain someone who I ran with today who peed their pants in reverse. Quite the talent. Oh and one more shoutout to Connor for asking if I would date him. Always a pleasure. <3

Ran during lunch today with Gan, then 5x150m pick ups. Felt pretty good but glad it's low. Went to the temple after with Sami and Austin which was great. We missed Gan who can't seem to locate her recommend :/

Utah County Invite today. Not doing a race report cuz I hate them. But yeah the mile just all around sucked. Too soon to relive it, but it was no bueno. Also ran the 800m in the sprint medley which ended up okay for having already race and the conditions and such. The sprinters did pretty good, but we were kinda behind and I felt like I definitely made up a lot of ground. I really wanted to catch the Salem Hills girls but it didn't quite happen. I felt a lot more relaxed on the 800 than the mile too so that was progress I guess. However I'm kind of worried about my mental game lately because it has not been good by any stretch of the imagination, so I'm working on that for next race. After the race Gan and Dallin and I got a ride home with my cool big bro Spence and then we hit up Cafe Rio with Collin and Gups. The horchata tonight was especially wonderful. 

Big shoutout to Zack Ericksen cuz I finally met him! What a nice dude. Check out his blog. Also a reluctant shoutout to Gam for a particularly clever (but way roasty) roast today. She's getting too good... Learned it from me.

I'm such a slacker some days it's so bad... But I did go to yoga so that's a plus. Also had some yummy French toast at Connor's :)

Back into the swing of things today with a good ole six miles. Ran with Sami and we hit some solid mile times. I think we were both feeling good. Average was like a 7:45 for me I think, which is decent. We tried out a new loop over in AF which turned out to be kind of "eh" but it's fine cuz we didn't get lost. ALSO I tried long jumping today! It was just for fun but I had tons of fun trying it out! It's way harder than it looks tbh. Ended up with sand everywhere including my teeth somehow... Go figure. Anyway I probably don't have a long jumping future ahead of me but maybe I'll do it every once in awhile;) shoutout to Coach B for being super patient with my less-than-perfect jumping skills... or I guess my nonexistent jumping skills.

Happy Tuesday! I'm trying to make the best of it considering it's my least favorite day of the week... Anyhow had a really good speed workout today. I was feeling really good despite waking up with a little cold :/ it was three sets of four 400s around goal mile pace with 4 min active rest between sets and around 2:45 rest between 400s. Hit basically all my splits and ended strong so I felt good about it. Now if only I can transfer that to a race I'd be golden. I also long jumper at the meet today. Didn't go so hot but it's fine. (Jumper like a 13' 3" or something like that... Didn't help that I scratched on all but one...

Medium with the girls. We kept a good pace, but I'm sore as heck (excuse the language).

David Invite today. Mixed it up a little bit today and ran the two-mile, believe it or not. Also ran the 4x800. Surprisingly, the two-mile wasn't near as terrible as I thought it was going to be and it turned out pretty good I think. I got an 11:59 which I was pretty happy about because my goal was around 12 mins. I felt good up until like the fifth lap when I started getting pretty exhausted, but I picked it up a little at the end and had a decent finish. Shoutout to Kaylee and Sami who both raced an awesome two-mile! Later I ran the first leg of a 4x800, and I didn't get a super great time but I had a way fun time racing in the pouring rain hah. Also shoutout to myself for winning BS two times in a row. Guess you'd better watch out for me cuz apparently I'm good at lying ;)

High mileage with a mile on the turf and premeet. Tiger Trials tomorrow. And the reason I don't do race reports is cuz I don't like them ;) also passed some "luscious ponies" on our run today according to Guppy.
