*Leave*A*Legacy*

Nice easy run today.  Did part of Hogs then over to Suncrest and then up a little more then came back the same way.  Felt quite good and super pumped for tonight's race so I'll be getting a little bit more.  

Also BBall at my church tomorrow at 9:00 after practice if anyone wants to join.

Quite the race.  Got there with plenty of time to spare, last night at 11:55ish.  Got warmed up with the other race competitors.  Got our lane assignments, I got lane 8 #blessed.  Will said on your mark, Go! and we were off.  Took it out hard but then my leg where I landed weird from a month ago was hurting a bit so I backed off.  But overall quality race.  Made it past the prelims to the final 4 with no crazy effort.  Got 5.5 more miles to do at 7 in the morning.

Did 5 mile loop which actually got us 5.5 because we did extra little parts such as break into Craik's house to wake up Craik but he wasn't home.  After did some basketball with soon to be Elder Wilkes for the last time in 3 years. Super sad because it might be the last time I see Jamison in a long time since he leaves tomorrow.  He's a great runner and a great guy!  Gonna miss him on the team.  Also Mike who got back from his mission 4 days ago came and played bball with us which was excellent and he is super cool!

Good run today.  It was an easier day so our pace was pretty relaxed.  7:07 avg pace.  Ran to Jamison's talked to him then headed back and did .65 barefoot to get 9.  Then did 2 stride with Seth.  We paced the girls on their tempo-ish run today so they stuck with us at 6:40 pace for 3 miles.  I'm super excited to start workouts like tempo's and hill repeats but my coach said that we aren't going to do that until the beginning of August which I think is starting too late but they know what they are doing.  But I'm just super pumped to do something besides a usual distance run because they are getting kind of long and boring.

Went to Corner Canyon and did a sick run there.  Got 9.14 total and did it at 6:58 pace which was pretty fast considering the hills and that it was a trail.  Good day. Planning on going more later tonight with CBaller.

Running later didn't happen but had some stellar ping pong at Craiks and a good fight night which ended up just me and Craik.  He won the first round, then I won the second and they said the last round was a tie.  So overall a tie match.  He got a lot more decent hits but I got a couple of really solid hits.  

Also Happy B-Day to my younger bro Josh.  He's turning 16 so all you ladies better watch out or he'll slay you with his looks and abs, that are non-existent (jk), but that's beside the point because he still slays. lol.

I was dying today, my hamstring has been hurting a bit and after yesterday's hard run it made it worse.  So I was holding like 7:40 avg pace, haha, it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done.  If I went faster my hamstring would hurt.  Seth also was feeling pretty bad cuz he was struggling so he was staying with me.  Went 1.5 miles short but I may try to do a small shakeout tonight.  

Also failed to acknowledge this yesterday but at Josh's B-day party while we were playing volleyball Emily Ellis spiked it on Connor twice so shout out to her.

Tough run but good news is my hamstrings weren't as bad as yesterday although they were still a bit tight especially on the up hill part of hogs.  Connor came with us so shout out to him.  I remembered hogs as a lot better of a time but today it wasn't too good, maybe because the stupid city made the trail huge and not as cool or I was just way tired.  Next week I have scout camp and my coach told me not to worry about running because of how much we will be hiking but I may go a couple sick trail runs while I'm there so I'm pumped for that!
