1 and half mile cool down. My knee wasn't hurting too bad during the run, its more of an after pain.

3 AC this morning

5 Hills today:

On the first 2 I ran behind Goold and Jeff, Goold was on his 4th and 5th. The next 3 I ran behind Jeff who was running as fast as Goold. Richard was waiting for me at the top of each hill again. I am getting tired of playing fetch with him. My times were a lot faster than they have ever been on the hills.

1. 1.56

2. 1.58

3. 2.01

4. 1.51

5. 1.45

Just me and Fre running up in Green Springs. My knee was hurting today, but I got loosened up by running slow.

FULL AT TODAY:

Threshold part: 21.11

total time: 27.20

My left shoe came un-tied about when the Threshold part started.

Later this night my ward won the REGIONAL CHURCH BALL CHAMPIONSHIP over Panorama. It was so sweet!

I started from my house and went and checked out the new road by the Dog Pound that goes into Washington Fields. Then I worked my way up into Washington and up to Green Springs. I got to the Desert in Green Springs and was looking for my friends who were 4 Wheelin'. I kept running around in the desert and eventually found them.

AM: 3 Easy miles this morning, I ran it pretty fast for a morning run.

PM: Ran as a group down by the new road by Dog Pound. We eventually started running on the Shnobe Kibe Trail. It was really fun to run up and down these hills on the trail.

It was a fun race/workout today. I ran from my house to the meet.

Distance Medley Relay: I ran the 400, Austin the 800, FRE the 1200, and Kimzey the 1600. I don't know what my split was or the teams was but we won. Total Time: 12:16.84

4x800: Austin, Me, Danny, and FRE took 2nd and beat the Freshman team that thought they could beat us. Total Time: 9:32.44

4x200: I was on a slow team and I'm sure I didn't help. I probably ran a 27 second 200. We took 5th out of 6 teams. Total Time: 1:50.88. Cody Hintze was on the fast team and he crushed on the first leg. I'm excited that he is going to be running soon.

AM: Easy 3 this morning.

PM: Ran an easy 5 miler in the desert with a big group. I whipped Trevor with my shirt and went for a second time and nailed his elbow with my hand real hard. I felt bad after doing this. When we were heading down through Nissons park Willy was running down this steep hill and disappeared into some bushes. It looked like he fell like 10 feet. It was so funny!

1600: The longer I waited for this race the worst I felt. The wind sucked!

time: 5.29

800: I thought I ran pretty well but my time still sucked. I took 4th or 5th in my heat atleast. I went to the outside at the beginning to get up near the lead, this wasted a lot of energy.

time: 2.25

I ran the first leg of this 10 man relay. It was  .76 long and 28 teams competed. I started out in the back of the pack and stayed with Austin. On the tough uphill we started passing everyone. I finished about 2 seconds behind Austin. Some dude took first and Karl took second(He probably would have won if he hadn't been sick). Austin said that he was the next guy behind Karl but my brother said he saw 3 guys before me and Austin. So me and Austin either took 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th. I didn't feel that good during this run but I thought I ran well. I know I was only close to Austin because he had ran 9 miles prior to this race. My team took 5th overall.

time: 3.55

I ran with my dad today I think he wanted to kill me with his workout. We did a mile warm-up before our 8 (uphill) 400's on the Turkey Road.

1. 1.28              5. 1.26

2. 1.23              6. 1.25

3. 1.26              7. 1.23

4. 1.24              8. 1.20

Once we finished these 400's we had run about 4 miles counting the 400s, mile warmup, and jogging in between each 400. So we took off by the water tank and ran some slow miles in the desert. Once we got back to the Turkey Road we had about a mile and half left. Our last mile was 6.17.

Today was the first exposure to heat since XC. I forgot how much it wears you down. Started out really slow then after we stopped at Artic Circle I ran fast back.

2 mile warm-up

8 400s in the wind. The 1st, 4th, and 8th were at mile goal pace, the rest at pace now. I kind of wish I ran 2 more just because all day I was expecting 10.

1. 1.13           5. 1.17

2. 1.18           6. 1.16

3. 1.18           7. 1.20

4. 1.14           8. 1.12

(all my times were under pace except #7 was right at pace)

1 1/2 cool down with Fre and Austin.

3 AC this morning with BY, FRE, Austin, and Willy. Ran from some sprinklers and got WAY cold!

AT FULL:

I was tired but I just kept pushing with the help of Jeff for the most part. I think I ran my fastest AT time today even with the wind.

AT time: 20:56

Total time: 27:10

EASY DAY Mile warm-up. Ran an easy 5 with BY,FRE, WILLIS, and COWBOY TROY. We spent a lot of the time kicking a tennis ball around until Willy ruined it.

I thought the team was going to run at 9 but it turned out to be 8. So I slept in and ran on my own at about 1 pm.

5 Sunrise Hills:

1. 1.52

2. 1.52

3. 1.51

4. 1.51

5. 1.46

I felt really tired but I am glad I was consistent. My times were a lot better than last week too.

I was way mad after the Suns lost in Double OT and didn't want to run, but I did anyways. I ran with my brother for the first 2 miles but he was dying so I left and moved up into the Green Springs desert.

Mile Splits:

1. 7:02                     8. 6:48

2. 7:22                     9. 7:17

3. 7:35                     Total Time: 1:07.39 (7:26 mi/avg)

4. 7:32 (first mile in the desert)      

5. 7:53 (slow mile in the sand)        

6. 8:15 (slow uphill mile in sand)

7. 7:02 (leaving desert)

For todays workout we split up the distance. The kids more focused on the mile and 2 mile had to run 2 1200s at mile goal pace. The others (Me, GOOLD, and DAN THE MAN) who are more focused on the 800 ran 3 600s at 800 goal pace. I was supposed to run 1.37 for each one but I was having some "stomach issues".

2 mile warm-up

600s

1. 1.48 (Had some serious stomach problems)

2. 1.44 (went to the bathroom before and felt a little better)

3. 1.41 (Got mentally tough and ignored everything else)

I think if I would have eaten better I would have ran a lot better for each one. Still I was pretty satisfied with my last 600.

2 mile cool down

I HATE EVERYTHING!

I really Diawed all my runs today.

400: 1.02

800: 2.27

Easy 3 this morning.

Ran an easy 4 this afternoon in the desert. Me, BY, Rob, CURLY, and Willy separated from the group and ran in this cool jungle.

Easy 6 in the desert with the team. I wanted to go faster but didn't want to leave the team.

Ran a lot harder then I have all year, but still need to kick harder.

I am a moron! I set my alarm clock wrong so I missed the bus this morning. I figured I would just go up with my parents and still get there in time for the mile. The mile was scheduled for 10 am. The meet was way ahead of schedule so when I got to the stadium at 9:20 my race was already starting. I was mad I missed my race because I know I would have ran well with Danny, Jeff, and those guys. Ran a cool down with them. I wanted to run more today when I got home, but had to do all this other crap instead.

Should have ran 12 400s today but wasn't feeling it, like every monday. Jeff and I only did 10.

1. 1.13                             6. 1.20

2. 1.17                             7. 1.25 (felt horrible, way over pace)

3. 1.20 (right at pace)     8. 1.17 (still over pace, still feeling sick)

4. 1.18 (over pace)          9. 1.16

5. 1.17                             10. 1.10 (5 seconds under pace)

After the 10th one I was done!

full AT:

I started out too fast and crashed! I have the worst allergies of my life right now and its affecting my running.

AT PART: 23 something

Easy windy 4 miler. Coach took out Austin, it was sweet!
