Had AP Psych test today so I couldn't run with the team.  Then I biked down to PG to watch the meet for a bit, then ran .5 miles with tyler and .5 while cheering on the guys racing.  Then biked back (total bike was 11.82) and went straight to reffing. Then got 4.11 miles the first game and 2.84 the second.  Shins were hurting so I decided not to go on a specific run today and to ice them really well. 

Bike Miles: 11.82

warm up 2. Got to the workout, heard it was 600 then 400 x4 so not too bad, until I heard the splits we were supposed to hit. Coach said for the 600, 65 second 400's so 1:37.5 for the total.  Then the 400's were at 62 second pace.  First 600 we did, hit a 1:36.  Then did the four, and coach was saying go go go lol so I went a bit fast,  59, but that is the kind of workout I wanted to do today.  Next 600, hit 1:38.  Then did a 62 400.  Then I was destroyed and the next 600 I went out really slow, and saw everyone else slowing after the first 200 meters so I speed up and actually hit a decent time, a 1:39.  Then coach could tell we were dying, so she gave us 3 minutes rest, instead of the usual 90 seconds.  And Courtney said we were gonna switch the 600 into a 400 but she wanted us to hit 64 and the last 3.  Went 63, 64, and a 66. Felt exhausted but did feel like it helped my legs turn over a bit which is what I've been wanting for a long time. Cool down 3 and ice.

Also, this weekend, I'm going for 4:14- Eveyone hold me accountable for this time. I'm ready to throw down this time.

Went to do rad-venture but didn't happen.  So we played fish out of water which was good.  Then we came back, and they had popsicles for us.  Then we did half a mile bare foot, then iced.  Also, Saw they had top 20 in the mile so Jamison and I will both get to run in the golden hour for the mile!

Had AP Calc today, so went to early morning seminary for like 30 minutes, then went to Lehi's coach's dad's room, Mr. Smith, and got breakfast galore.  Then took the AP test, felt pretty good, probs high 4 low 5 range.  Then we didn't have to go to fourth cuz I had calculus so I went to track class and played basketball, my team won every time so shout out to my team.  Then went and warmed up, then got back and did 400 300 400 300 400 300.  Hit 62 45, 62, 45, 62, and 47, so nearly a perfectly split workout.  My legs felt heavy and tired so it was some real work hitting those times and my breathing was quite awkward, but if my breathing turns out ok by Saturday I'm really hopeful for a great time.  2 mile cool down and ice.

Got to the race just in time to watch Josh's mile.  He kind of died but he has had a good season.  Then Justin and Galen went.  They were cruising.  Justin ran 4:23 but .2 off of state. Then Galen was 4:26 and just died last 200 meters.  Then Craik in his 800 went 2:00.46.  Then Seth went 2:05.  Then later in the golden hour, Jamison and I warmed up for our race.  It was faster pace cuz coach said we should warm up like that but I really didn't like it.  Also one of our coaches gave us a shot block but I didn't like taking it.  Not gonna take one again.  Got to the line and we were off.  Came through 64, then 2:09.  Then third lap we started gaining on casey mckay patrick and logan.  Then they took off 400 left.  I was feeling great til 550 left then my body just got exhausted.  Went fine til last 100, then mentally gave up.  Slowed way down and got passed by 3 people, which I would have gotten 8th in the golden hour.  So should have stayed stronger, but not disappointed with a PR. Also Jamison was .4 off from state which was too bad.  

Shout out to all the cool people I met today and talked to especially Lehi cuz I talked to them for a while and met Sami from frb for the first time. 

Also shout out to Jamison because he told me what an excellent smoothie is at Roxberry while he was working there.

Later spencer texted and asked if I wanted to go run so went 5.26 miles with him.

crazy stuff today.  Haha, we finally did what I have been asking to do, a super speedy workout.  We did 400 300 200 400 300 200.  I hit 59, 44, 28, 60, 45, 28.  The first 400 at the 200 mark I nearly faceplanted and hit the track but I caught myself.  My foot hit the back of Jamison's cuz he slowed just barely when he heard me say 29 for our first 200 meters, but I was watching my watch and so I didn't see so I was running really weird for like 15 meters til I finally caught myself.  Good workout.  Just running the 800 at region so we'll see if I can put down a quick time and get qualified for state.

Ran Region medley today.  Went 2 mile warm up then the race. My team got me in third, I think Adam Wood had like a 5 second gap on me, and Luke Johnston probably had about 3.  I looked at my coach and he said go for the win, so I went off, hit 29 first 200, then 28 at the 400.  By then I passed Luke, and was gaining on Adam, went 30 for the next 200 and then Adam took off, and I just kind of lost it, and Luke passed me but I didn't really care much, probably could have kicked a bit harder but I want to be fresh for the 800 tomorrow cuz I'm trying to qualify.  

Shout out to every who race and everyone who qualified today!

'Twas quite a day.  At school first two classes we just watched movies, Forrest Gump, and What about Bob?, then the next class my teacher just went on and on about some crazy boring chemistry.  Then 4th we had a spanish verb tense and form quiz with a bunch of crazy things so it was annoying.  Then went out to the track and chilled and watched a bunch of guys race really well.  Then warmed up a mile and a half pretty slow for the 800.  Did a lot of strides, then went to the line.  My breathing was weird but once the race got started it felt pretty good.  Ran first part just chilling probably about in 10th.  Then with 400 to go I went into striking distance to the leaders,  but still in 6th.  Then tried to get up with 200 left but was trapped til a saw a small gap right on the inside which I took then kicked it in.  Ran a 1:57.58 so a 4.5 second season open 800 PR, and a 3 second overall PR from last season.  Cooled down 3.5 on the grass barefoot cuz I got some nasty blisters from my spikes.  200 splits went 28, 29, then I presume 31, then I think 28.  

Shout out to Connor who qualified in the 800, then Jamison, Justin and Collin in the mile today.  And also big shout out to Adam Wood, who ran 4 events and basically went 1st in the 3200 2nd (by his 800 split in the medley), 3rd in the mile, and 4th in the 800, which is pretty insane so congrats to him!

Pretty much destroyed.  Last night played basketball with the legendary team pre, and asa made a sick half court which predicted that Bill and Tyler kiss tonight.  But basically my legs were destroyed and we did 400 300 400 300 400 300.  400 pace was slightly faster than mile, then 300 was 800 pace.  Hit 63 44 61 45 63 47.  Got pretty tired on the last ones but the first ones I was feeling really strong.  It was good stuff. 

Also shout out to Lehi's squad because they are so sick and had a sick fire and let Tyler and I come!

Tapering is great! Also school was crazy, first the seniors made everyone pay to get into the parking lot, pennies, gum, love notes, etc.  Then I walked down to the commons and was gonna fill up my water but it looked like the drinking fountains had vasaline on them.  Then like 5 seconds later I hear a deafining vroom, and see a dirt bike flying down the hall,  then it turned into the commons and I saw teachers start chasing after him.  Then didn't see it after that.  But heard it was a ruckess and I think the school is gonna sue and so he's in a lot of trouble.

Well crazy day.  Warmed up then headed back got spikes and got lined up.  I was 7th.  Gun went, race started.  I started out hard but not hard enough cuz I got trapped at the back so the entire first 2 laps I was fighting to just get up and get moving.  Splits show it.  Then with 800 left I went for it, being in 6th place and last lap Tracen passed me even though we were gaining on Patrick from AF and Dallin from Viewmont but they beat me and I got 7th.  Bummer, no medal, .34 seconds off of our school record.  But I'm not complaining because 1. I got a big PR, my first one of the mile this season, 2. It was a lot of fun and I felt pretty great doing it. 3. I got trapped so I know if I could have split better I could have run better.  4. It was a lot of fun negative splitting.  Official splits are 65.58 then 66.81 then 63.89 then 60.30.  So haha, a good negative split race.  Happy with how the season has turned out even though I didn't reach all my goals but at least I have had what I would say is a significant improvement.  

Also shout out to Eugene because I finally met him and he did the cool down with us.  He's a cool guy.

Good race today.  Ran the 3200 and was kind of worried because I haven't run a 3200 since Davis a while back and my stomach wasn't the greatest at the line.  Went out, same as usual, was in the backish immediately but this time instead of waiting and getting trapped I squeezed through an opening 300 in and got up next to Mckay and Patrick from AF.  Then we went til it was Mckay and I, then we passed Dallin Leatham then Mckay kept turning up the pace so I followed.  Just sat on his shoulder for pretty much the whole race then at then end he got a second gap on me.  I finished 3rd in 5A and 4th overall.  It was a lot of fun.  I have the 800 coming up this afternoon so I'll post about that when I do it.  2 mile warm up-1.75 cool down. 800 was quite exhausting. I had never tripled before so it was crazy. Went out around 58 then like 64. Haha. So My mile closing lap was nearly faster than my 800. After I got home i was bored s we got some guys together to play basketball so it was pretty tiring. So shout out to my lehi homies ffor playing basketball/coming. Y'all are awesome.

Did the rootbeer (mile) today but first race that I did not finish.  Got out really slow but I was fine doing that.  Then passed a ton of people on the run.  Then flew through the next can and got my self caught up.  Then third can I was just a bit behind the leaders and went fast on this lap.  Then last can I could not get it down even to my throat.  I made it through 2/3 of the can but I could only put the last rootbeer in my mouth.  I couldn't get it to even touch my throat so I had to quit there.  It was a valiant effort for a new PR since last season but it didn't happen.  Maybe senior year.  

Shout out to everyone who showed up and ran, and even those who just showed up and watched.  Super shout out to Eugene who had to drive a long way just to get here for the mile.  

After we played some basketball which was fun.

L Crazy race today.  Got to the line and went out near the front and then everyone else dropped off til it was just Josh, Craik, Seth, Justin, and I.  Then Josh dropped and then craik.  Then Seth Justin and I decided to go in for the 3 way tie.  Clock said 15:03 but it was off by a minute.  So we ran a 16:03 which is a minute and ten seconds faster than I ran last year and haha last year I tried a lot harder but I was still so burnt out from running so I'm feeling pretty optimistic about what I can do this season and what our team can do.  Felt pretty relaxed running it and talked to some people while doing it.  My legs were a bit shocked cuz it is our week off and after mile 2 my stomach was a bit funky since it's been a while since we ran fast that long. But it was not super difficult. I
