*Leave*A*Legacy*

I'm extremely pleased with today! My breathing felt amazing, my back didn't hurt til the last 400 of the last rep, and yeah. 3 mile warmup, then 3xmile. went 5:04, 5:00, then 5:03. I was on pace for 4:55 with the Mckay til the last 200 when my back was just too pained, so I pretty much jogged that one in. But I was really happy with how it went, I felt great! cool down later.

4.7 in the morning

9 with Mckay in the afternoon. 

Got the x-rays back, and there was a big bend in my back in two spots but the chiropractor said that was perfect, something that through work we could fix so that made me happy!

Pretty tiring. mile warmup then 5 mile power run. felt good for the first 3, then my back started tightening up. but over a good workout. 5:40, 5:26, 5:32, 6:12 (the hills were brutal) 5:42. Good stuff

1.7 with my roommate, 3.4 alone

8.5 in the afternoon. Same old Lover's Lane. Good times with Mckay, Dalton, Carson, and T-Frank

Long run with Mckay and Ryan. Good times. Felt tired at the end. 

General Conference this weekend! 

4xk 2x500 meter. Last two did 500 meter because my back hurt. I need to get that thing fixed. It's pretty annoying but i guess it is what it is. 

went a new way which made the run go by really fast. went 2 miles out to some railroad tracks, ran 2 miles on a dirt road, then came back. then Mckay and I went to the track, did a loop on the 800 meter loop, and headed back. 

iced

Ran 2.25 with Summer in the morning.

workout. 2x400, 2x200. super short. 67, then 62. 28, 29. Good stuff. then saw the chiropractor so hopefully i'll be able to breath well for the race on friday. First race back will be weird

5 easy with mckay and dalton

Good times! First college xc race. Warmed up, then they started the race 15 minutes early than I thought, so I rushed to the line and then they said on your mark and shot the gun! One of the stanford twins took off and led the first part.

Came through the mile with mckay and ethan shuley. 4:55. Then the next mile stayed with them and we dropped from the front pack. 5:01

Then lots of guys started dropping from the top pack and came back to us. I dropped from mckay and ethan. 5:10.

I found some energy and started reeling mckay and ethan in and caught them at 4.1 miles. 5:04.

Kicked in the last .3 to finish the race in 9th and passed 3 guys (McKay, ethan, and Devine pancake).

Happy with the first race... rust buster! Happy and surprised with the turn out!

Thx to the stanford twins parents for taking is out to dinner after!

Super suprised that I didn't feel like dying... or at least I thought. The first 2 miles my legs didn't feel too bad but then after that my legs felt the race. Didn't run with the team because I went to the temple with a friend. Ran with Mckay and we just had a good time dying on tired legs. Blessings for rest day of Sunday!

Good times. Honestly felt pretty bad, and thought it was going to be a rough workout, but my back didn't tighten up hardly at all so it was a great workout! Legs were a bit tired from friday and saturday but happy with the times.

2 mile: 10:13, 1.5 mile: 7:37, .5 mile 2:25. 

A good new run! Went out 4.5, first part was on PRT and then we went to Lake loop and then turned on a nice road. Felt suprisingly good!

Legs felt slow. Good thing it was recover! 

My back was hurting a little on this one. 2x (mile, 800, 800) 4:59, 2:18, 2:20, 4:58, 2:19, 2:17. or something like that. felt fine until the last mile, my back hurt on that. then my breathing went off but luckily the 800 is short enough that I was able to grind through it. I'll see the chiropractor again on monday so he can fix me up

2.7 in the morning with Summer

Afternoon did 9 with Mckay. Some others went 7 and some went 10 so it just ended up being Mckay and I. 
Got all my classes ready for next semester which is good stuff

Good ol' long run. Went canyon and back. Just Mckay and I. It was pretty cold this morning but I knew that after about 30 minutes I would be toasty, so I just manned up and went shorts and long sleeve with gloves. It was also really dark so the dirt trail was a little sketchy cuz I turned my ankle a little

Gonna be a 70 mile week. out to the canyon and back. 

6x800. 1 and 4 on the track. went 2:12, 2:20, 2:17, 2:12, 2:20, 2:25. My back was hurting and it made it so I couldn't breath well at all so I was really happy that I was able to hit those times. Going to the chiropractor tomorrow so I should be ready to have a great workout on thursday! 

3 in the morning with my sister

10 in the afternoon with the team.

Today we had the Michigan! I honestly was pretty tired, and my legs were quite sore, but good news is my back felt fine cuz I saw the chiropractor yesterday. went track, grass, track, grass... etc. 1600, mile, 1200, mile, 800, mile, 400, mile. miles were tempo pace.   4:40, 5:09, 3:31, 5:05, 2:13, 5:05, 62, and finished with a 4:58. Fun stuff. Excited for the danny plaiter to see how this stuff will show!

Morning run with my sister. 3 on the PRT

5 out to the canyon with clayton and mckay

didn't wake up so i missed the run with the team. I went on bonneville, got lost and then ended up way far from my car so I just walked back at the end cuz I didn't want to run more.

easy workout before danny plaiter. mile, 1200 800. felt pretty good. rolled out my back before the workout and it seemed to help out a lot. 4:47, 3:35, and 2:16 is what my watch got us at, but they all showed a little long. cool down with clayson, mckay and jacob

Short pre-Danny Plater run! My stomach has felt a little weird the past couple days so we'll see how it goes. Excited though. 

Fun stuff! Danny Plater invite for all the non-travel guys. It was pretty dang cold so I was debating on running with my tights but I decided against it. Warmed up 2.7 then lined up to hear Danny Plater's motivation.

he said, "did any of you get my invitation to this race?"... 

we all said "no"

he said "hah, it's cuz i didn't send any!" 

then coach eyestone said set, go (like .2 seconds apart from each other)

then we ran the first 800 in 2:34, then the downhill came, and I decided to just go for it and got a little space between everyone, then the pack came back up, the rest of the race was, Shuley, Ethan Cannon, Clayson, Mckay and I. Last lap clayson put a little space between the rest of us, and with about 200 left, i kicked it in and got up really close to clayson but he held me off, then I jogged the last 5 meters in. 2nd. White team won which was my team so that was good!

3.33 mile cooldown

Hot tubed after... lol probably not good but i was just so sick of icing and decided to treat myself lol

Had to run early because of a spanish project and just got a little excited with the pace... oh well, tomorrow I'll go nice and easy. Went on a nice trail by the trains.
