Wasatch Practice-

Did the 6 miler loop again. I ran with Steve O the whole way. I wasn't feeling too good so I just took it pretty easy.

XC training today-

I was feeling horrbile but I was glad for xc conditioning to start. Ran with Willy most of the way but fell behind. I almost got hit by this car and CURLY did. First day of XC workouts and somebody has already been hit, should  be a good year!

Wasatch Pracitce-

5 mile repeats:

1. 6:00 (EASY first mile)

2. 6:01 (Ran by myself most of the time)

3. 5:55 (This might have been a little short but it had a hill)

4. 6:01 (This one was longer than a mile, had some down hill)

5. 5:48 (I really pushed on this one, we finished short of a mile. I had a time of 5:28

                 but my dad told me to add 20 seconds to it to equal a mile)

I'm going on a pioneer trek tomorrow. Hopefully I die, like some of the real pioneers.

I couldn't run the last 3 days because of the trek. The trek was a decent wokout though. Curly and me always ran with hand cart, so we got some running in.

Me, Austin, Fre, and Willy had a couple of PO's, but Willy always won.

Wasatch Practice-

All I have to say is that I love Monty. He came for the first time today. We ran the same 6 miler loop, except this time it was shorter with the new trail we took. I was just going to go the same pace as Monty (I was hoping slow). He was hauling through the whole thing so I did too. Austin, Trevor, and Kimz stopped at the Dixie Center and Monty, my bro, and I kept going. So we were in the lead for a while. Eventually those 3 Goolds caught us and things got competitive. I just went with Monty, I didn't care about the others. We came in behind Trev, Aust, and Kimz.

6 miler: 40:00/ 6.40 mile pace

XC practice-

This is my last year so I don't dread every practice, I love them. I am really excited for the upcoming season. Monty has rekindled my competitive spirit! Today we ran 5 Washington Parkway loop. Trev, Aust, and Kimz started out really fast. Monty and I were right behind. We all eventually settled in and ran strong, and Holt joined us.

5 miler: 34:02

Holt wants us (XC boys) to figure out what our team goal should be, so he can arrange for us to meet it. I will talk to the team and find out. Personally I think our goal should be a State Championship! Theres no point in settling for silver.

Wasatch Practice-

We ran in Oak Grove tonight. We did a 40 minute run uphill and then turned around and ran it back. My left calf was tightning for like the first 25 minutes. I stretched it twice, did nothing. I was far behind my Dad, Trev, Aust, and Kimz the whole way. The last 15 minutes of the uphill I pushed real hard. I got about 4.4 miles for the 40 minutes. I was hauling on the way back, then I caught up to Fre and ran with him. We finished the way back in 31.43. It was a great workout.

8.8(mostly uphill): 1:11.59

I talked to all the boys who came to this practice and we are all on the same page for our Cross Country goals.

Wasatch Practice-

Ran around with Fre while everyone else ran 800 repeats.

O man! I felt horrible through the whole race! I can honestly say this is the worst I have felt throughout the course of a full race. I felt like I was going to throw up the whole way! I stayed mentally strong though. I wonder what my time would have been if I wasn't feeling sick the whole way. I think I might have broken 35. O well I PR'd for this course. Congrats to all my teammates and friends.

O Ya! I wasn't having stomach problems really but was sore from yesterday. I enjoyed this run and I PR'd so its all good! Congrats to my Dad, Fre, Stefani, Schramms, Trevor, Lindsey, and all my other friends. Sorry Austin that sucks about your calves, you will dominate wasatch though.

Wasatch is going to be way SWEET! I'm doing legs: 1, 13, 25. I get to start things off baby! Total of 19.2 miles, its going to be incredible.

Ran with Fre, Stevie, and Monty.

Ran with Fre, Stevie, and Monty again, for the first part. Later it was me, Monty, and Tason. Near the end I "Pulled a Kimzey" and tripped on this curb banging my knee up.

I'm not sure on the mileage but I bet it was up in the 5s. Ran 24 60's, Half were fast real fast, the other jogging. I stayed real consistent, a little behind Trevor, and Kimzey. I felt fast and ready for Wasatch. PV is going to SHOCK THE WORLD!

Leg 1:  I was all excited to start this whole Wasatch Experience. Then I realized I was starting with all the fast people and got nervous. I started out too fast and got really dehydrated. I really hated this run but I just hurried and got it done. I was only 2 seconds over my predicted time so that was good.

Leg 13: I got the baton from Cowboy right before midnight and was ready for some sweet downhill. This leg started out with some real tough uphill, I was not expecting this. Then I got some of the downhill I wanted. I really loved this run but my stomach was hurting pretty bad. I was running in the dark and couldn't really see anything. The oncoming cars with their brights on blinded me. I wanted to flip them off. I ran this one real well and was under my predicted time by 10 minutes.

.5. 2.40         total time: 53:07/6.18mile

Leg 25: I HATED THIS RUN SO MUCH! I was tired, felt sick and my legs were hammered from my downhill run. I stopped or walked to stretch my calves a couple of times. I was 2 minutes over my predicted time. I threw after and wanted to die.

Total Time: 21:30:09.08 /7:07 mile pace

This year was way fun! I loved our team and we are going to dominate in XC because of this.Congratulations to Holts team, and our Co-ed team. I love wasatch and hope the PV team will want me next year.

I wanted to take it easy today. I lifted some weights. I ran a mile on the treadmill and a mile in the heat of the day. I need to get use to the heat for XC. Now that Wasatch is over I only have one running focus: Run my best cross country season ever and help my team do the same.

Ran 4 easy with the 2 cutest guys on the teeam, Monty and Kimz. Jk but seriously!

I set my alarm clock but it never went off for cross country practice at 7. So hopefully I can get a run in later.

I was feeling really tired and hammered all day. I stretched it out and felt better.I ran at 4 pm today, probably the hottest part of the day. I was burning up so about 2 1/2 miles in I stopped at the Virgin and swam. I was getting attacked by thousands of bugs it seemed like. So I got out and ran home at a really decent pace.

I ran from my house to Washington Elementary, it was about 3 miles. Then for our workout we ran the Washington Parkway. I caught up with Austin and Willy about 2 miles in and ran at a good pace all the back to the school.

XC Practice-

We are really going to start hitting some distance runs now. We did a 7 mile loop up into Green Springs. I ran with all the fast guys today: Monty, Willy, Coach, Austin, Trevor, and Kimzey.
