Some of those 9.76 should be fast miles but I don't know how much so I just put it all in as slow.  But during the track class we weren't sure if we were running but Galen Jamison Craik and Justin all left while we went to get our stuff because we thought we weren't running.  So we did a sophomore run and brought my rock to the sophomore tree and put it in there.  It was really slow and it was 1.54 miles total.  We messed around at the tree for a while then came back.

 

I waited because we were supposed to have strength training but it didn't happen.  Then Lil Warner and I went up to Bonneville and did that.  It was really fast.  We did it in 49 Minutes and went 8.22 miles so at an average of just under 6 minutes per mile.  We started out going really fast like 5:10ish pace but then calmed down and my calf was on fire so with about 2 miles until the school we took a small 45 second stretching break which helped my calf a lot.  It was really fast and Lil Warner said that he would follow me but then he just sprinted off ahead and set the fast pace for the whole run.  It was brutal.  We saw the girls running on Bonneville also.  

My goal this week is to go for at least 50 miles this week since the past few weeks I've been slacking off a lot but that is because of races.

We did a track workout today.  we did 1200 800 800 400 400.  It was pretty good except it was really windy.  They were really fast.  The last 400 our coach let us do it fast so it would stimulate our kick at the end of a 2 mile but it didn't work out for me.  I ran a 69 which is slower than my 800 splits and my 400 meters from the first time.  It wasn't like my kick because I found out that I ran a 64 last lap on the 2 mile on Saturday and the time I ran the 2 mile before I ran a 62.  I have always had a good kick so that really helps me.  I'm taking it easy for Wednesday and Thursday because my coach wants me to qualify on Friday for the Mile.  I don't know how well that will go because right now I'm more used to the 2 mile but I will try.  I'll be running it with Galen and Jamison and Lil Warner.  But they will have run the 2 mile the day before because they are trying to qualify.

Today was a small run because most of the guys are racing today or tomorrow.  We ran down and did the trampoline run and found a weird ball so we stopped to play a weird version of basketball with a ball similar to a golf ball.  It was really fun. 

At the tri meet today I wasn't doing anything because my coach wanted me rested so I decided to mess around and do the long jump.  But then after my coach came over and asked if I was sure I wanted to do it.  I had already done it so she was mad.  But oh well.  I did a 13'7" which is awful but I didn't know anything and it is the first time I ever did it.

Did a short run of 35 minutes today because I'm racing tomorrow.  Did a few strides afterword but my nose had started bleeding on the run which was really annoying.  I ran with Jacob Jensen since everyone else was at the meet or sick or busy.  It was a good run.  I may not make my goal of 50 miles this week because my coach had me slacking on the miles because of the race.  But I'll do a decent amount tomorrow and on saturday.

Today at the Alpha Invite I ran the mile and the 800.  I was really worried when I got there because my chest had been hurting when I breathed and it felt like a sickness.  I think that the anxiety before racing got it out of me cuz I felt great during and after the race.  During the mile I felt really good but got boxed in on the first 1 and a half laps so I couldn't speed up as much as I wanted.  I still came across the 800 mark at 2:12 which is qualifying pace.  I then went out to lead the pack of people (everyone except Mckay Johns who was about 40-50 meters ahead of everyone).  I ran the rest of the race alone without people really coming from behind and Mckay too far out infront. 

For the 800 I was put in the fast heat with a seed time of 2:02 when my PR was high 2:06.  I ran it after feeling tired from the mile and I ran about a 2:02 which made me really happy.  I was glad but in the race I could feel my legs locking and not being able to move much faster because I was so exhausted.  It was a good race though and I got I think 10th overall.  It was fun stuff.

Josh and I did mountain run today in between sessions of conference.  It was good.  I was sore from racing but it felt good to get out and run.  In General conference I'm learning a lot and am excited for more.  I love and could use all of their inspired messages (especially ones about being humble since I kinda forgot yesterday cuz I was so happy about PRing)
